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...

I'm curious as to how it behaves. I got a 10 meter roll packaged by Alfa on
on ebay.
