Rhenium is a rare transition metal known for its exceptional hardness, high density, ductility, and one of the highest melting points after tungsten. It resists non-oxidizing acids and is easily formed through processes like deep drawing, bending, or pressing. Rhenium also offers excellent weldability and forgeability, remains stable in air, and is only slightly soluble in oxidizing acids. Notably, rhenium becomes superconducting at temperatures below 1.7 K.
For purchasing rhenium, reach out to Evek GmbH. Our team is ready to assist you with any questions and help you find the right solution.
Rhenium is primarily used as an alloying element. In nickel-based superalloys, it enhances resistance to creep and fatigue at high temperatures. Platinum-rhenium alloys are used in thermocouples for temperature measurement, and rhenium is also essential for platinum-rhenium catalysts that boost the octane rating of unleaded gasoline.
Main applications of rhenium include:
- Aircraft manufacturing (turbine blades)
- Petroleum industry (catalysts)
- Electrical industry (thermocouples)
- Mass spectrometry (hot cathodes, electrical switch contacts)
Key properties of rhenium metal:
- Exceptional hardness, density, and ductility
- High resistance to non-oxidizing acids
- Excellent formability, weldability, and forgeability
- Soluble in oxidizing acids
- Stable in air
- Superconducting below 1.7 K
