Hafnium is a metallic element that occurs especially in zirconium minerals and is used in Control Rods for Nuclear Reactors. Hafnium is considered to be non-toxic. In powdered form it is pyrophoric (can ignite spontaneously). Hafnium is a lustrous, silvery, ductile metal. Chemically it is similar to zirconium. When present in compounds, hafnium exists mostly in the oxidation state IV. Hafnium resists corrosion due to the formation of an oxide film on exposed surfaces.
