Rhenium and Rhenium Alloy Description
Rhenium is a rare refractory metal known for its high melting point, high strength, good plasticity, and excellent mechanical stability. With a melting point second only to tungsten at 3180°C, rhenium exhibits no brittle critical transition temperature. It demonstrates excellent creep resistance under high temperatures and rapid cooling and heating conditions, making it suitable for ultra-high temperature and strong thermal shock working environments. Rhenium has a room temperature tensile strength of more than 1172 MPa, and at 2200°C, it can still maintain a tensile strength of 48 MPa, surpassing other metals. Rhenium-manufactured engine nozzles can withstand 100,000 thermal fatigue cycles without failure at 2200°C. Additionally, rhenium offers excellent resistance to wear and corrosion, maintains chemical inertness to most gases except oxygen, and resists hot hydrogen corrosion. Due to these properties, rhenium and its alloys are widely used in petrochemical, electronics, and aerospace industries, becoming a key material in modern high-tech fields.
Rhenium is a silvery-white, soft rare metal with a density of 21.04 g/cm³, a melting point of 3186°C, and a boiling point of 5596°C. It naturally occurs as two isotopes, 187Re and 185Re, with 187Re being radioactive. Rhenium is increasingly used in aerospace, petrochemical, electronics, and medical fields. About 79% of rhenium is used for high-temperature alloys in aerospace, 9% for platinum-rhenium catalysts for gasoline, 6% for high-temperature alloys in industrial gas turbines, and 6% for producing tungsten-rhenium, molybdenum-rhenium, and other alloys. Rhenium-containing minerals are mainly found in Eurasia, North America, and western South America, with over 33,000 tons of associated rhenium resources worldwide.
What Is Rhenium Used for?
1. Alloying Element: Rhenium can form a series of alloys with nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, platinum, iron, copper, and other metals. Rhenium-nickel, rhenium-tungsten, and rhenium-molybdenum high-temperature alloys are the most important rhenium alloys.
2. Catalysts: Rhenium and its compounds have excellent catalytic activity. In petroleum refining, adding rhenium to Pt catalysts with Al₂O₃ carriers results in platinum-rhenium catalysts with higher activity and better stability, increasing service life to 3-4 years and improving gasoline, aromatics, and hydrogen yields. Rhenium is also used as a catalyst in automobile exhaust purification and fuel cells.
3. Coatings and Films: Rhenium coatings and films resist high temperatures, high pressure, and abrasion. Depositing rhenium on rocket nozzles, barrels, and gun chambers prevents surface loss due to thermal shock and chemical corrosion. Rhenium-nickel-iridium coatings can produce large-grain diamonds, and rhenium can be used in electroluminescent materials.
4. Medical Applications: Scientists have found that radioactive rhenium can be used to treat diseases. Various radioactive pharmaceuticals made from technetium-rhenium complexes have been developed to treat malignant tumors, such as liver cancer.
