I'll be using an oxyacetylene torch.

LOL!

Is this stuff going to catch on fire like magnesium or do something else
interesting?

Zr is at least as reactive as titanium (which also burns as a powder). Low
power TIG is probably your best hope, unless you want to go the "usual"
route, say electron beam or laser welding, which I'm sure is typical for a
material like this.

I'm more interested in the use...what's special about zirconium that you're
using it for? Seems expensive...
