Rhenium is a rare transition metal known for its exceptional hardness, high density, and ductility. It boasts one of the highest melting points among metals, surpassed only by tungsten. Rhenium is highly resistant to non-oxidizing acids and can be readily formed through processes like deep drawing, bending, and pressing. It also offers excellent weldability and forgeability. Rhenium is stable in air and only slightly soluble in oxidizing acids. Notably, it becomes superconducting below 1.7 K.
If you wish to purchase rhenium, Evek GmbH is here to assist you. Our team is always available to provide guidance and answer your questions.
Rhenium is primarily used as an alloying element. In nickel-based superalloys, it enhances creep resistance and fatigue strength at high temperatures. Platinum-rhenium alloys are used in thermocouples for precise temperature measurement. Rhenium also serves as a component in platinum-rhenium catalysts, which are vital for increasing the octane rating of unleaded gasoline.
Main applications of rhenium include:
- Aircraft construction (e.g., turbine blades);
- Petroleum industry (as catalysts);
- Electrical industry (in thermocouples);
- Mass spectrometry (for hot cathodes and switch contacts).
Key properties of rhenium metal:
- Exceptional hardness, high density, and ductility;
- Excellent resistance to non-oxidizing acids;
- Good formability, weldability, and forgeability;
- Easily dissolves in oxidizing acids;
- Stable when exposed to air;
- Becomes superconducting below 1.7 K.
