Rhenium is a rare transition metal. It has high hardness, high density and ductility, as well as one of the highest melting points of all metals after tungsten. Rhenium metal is very well resistant to non-oxidizing acids and can be easily formed (deep drawing, bending and pressing). It also has very good weldability and forgeability. The metal is stable in air and only slightly soluble in oxidizing acids. Below 1.7 K, rhenium metal is superconducting.

Rhenium is mainly used as an alloying component. In nickel superalloys, it improves creep and fatigue behavior at high temperatures. Thermocouples for temperature measurement are made from platinum-rhenium alloys. Rhenium is also used for platinum-rhenium catalysts. These increase the octane number of unleaded gasoline.
Rhenium is used:
- in aircraft construction (turbine blades);
- in the oil industry (catalysts);
- in the electrical industry (thermocouples);
- in mass spectrometers (glowing cathodes, contacts in electrical switches.).
The following properties characterize rhenium metal:
- high hardness, high density and ductility;
- good resistance to non-oxidizing acids;
- good formability, weldability and forgeability;
- slightly soluble in oxidizing acids;
- stable in air;
- superconducting below 1.7 K.
