Eagle Alloys sells a variety of metals, including rhenium. It’s a chemical element that’s classified as a transition metal.
History
First discovered in 1925 in Germany, rhenium was first found in platinum ores and columbite. Its compounds include oxides, halides and sulfides. It is one of five major refractory metals, known to have high resistance to heat and wear.
Uses
What is rhenium used for? One major use is for producing lead-free, high-octane gasoline when used in conjunction with platinum. It’s also used in alloys that help make jet engines, as well as for filaments for mass spectrographs and ion gauges. Since it’s very hard, it resists corrosion. You might find it in turbine engines and/or rocket motors– it’s an ideal metal for use at extremely high temperatures. Rhenium also works well as electrical contact material since it not only has good wear resistance, but is able to withstand arc corrosion as well. You might find rhenium used in thermocouples, in wire used in flash lamps (for photography) and in additives to certain alloys in order to increase ductility, especially for use at higher temperatures.
