Rhenium is a rare transition metal known for its exceptional hardness, high density, and ductility. It has one of the highest melting points among all metals, just after tungsten. Rhenium is highly resistant to non-oxidizing acids and can be easily formed by deep drawing, bending, or pressing. The metal also offers excellent weldability and forgeability, remains stable in air, and is only slightly soluble in oxidizing acids. Below 1.7 K, rhenium becomes superconducting.

Rhenium is primarily used as an alloying element. In nickel superalloys, it improves high-temperature creep and fatigue resistance. Platinum-rhenium alloys are used to manufacture thermocouples for precise temperature measurement. Rhenium also serves as a key component in platinum-rhenium catalysts that boost the octane rating of unleaded fuels.
Main applications of rhenium include:
- Aircraft manufacturing (turbine blades);
- Petroleum industry (catalysts);
- Electrical industry (thermocouples);
- Mass spectrometry (hot cathodes, contacts for electrical switches).
Key properties of rhenium metal:
- Exceptional hardness, high density, and ductility;
- Excellent resistance to non-oxidizing acids;
- Good formability, weldability, and forgeability;
- Easily soluble in oxidizing acids;
- Stable in air;
- Becomes superconducting below 1.7 K.
