The correct answer is zirconium!
It is used in rocket and aircraft engineering for alloying heat-resistant alloys; in medicine - for the production of surgical, neurosurgical and dental instruments and implants; in nuclear energy - for the manufacture of fuel elements, fuel assemblies and other structures of nuclear reactors; in the production of refractories - for foundry; when creating alloys with high strength and hardness; zirconium powder is used for the manufacture of superconducting magnets; the production of acid-resistant reactors; pyrotechnics and military affairs (for flares, lighting charges, fireworks, etc.)

Russian zirconium industry: current issues in raw material supply
Russia imports the vast majority (3.5–14.9 kt/year or 98–100 % of consumption) of consumed zircon concentrate. However, in 2022, mass production of selective zirconium concentrate began at the Tugan titanium-zirconium deposit, which will soon cover up to 30% of Russia's needs for zirconium raw materials.
The trend of reducing Russia's import dependence on zirconium raw materials will increase the consumption of zircon and zirconium oxides. The availability of an independent and sufficient national production base of zirconium raw materials will contribute to the development of Russian production of zirconium metal, refractory and abrasive products.
