General information about rhenium

Rhenium is among the rarest metals on Earth. It does not occur naturally or as a compound in minerals. Its prevalence in the Earth's crust is within 0.001 parts per million. It is a metal with a very high melting point (3185°C). Tungsten is the only metal element even more refractory. Commercial production of rhenium is accomplished by extraction from flue dust from operating molybdenum smelting furnaces.

Applications

Rhenium is used as an additive to alloys along with tungsten and molybdenum. These alloys are indispensable for heating filaments and X-ray machine targets. They are also used as electrical contacts because they resist wear well and have anti-corrosive properties. Rhenium catalysts are extremely stable and are used for hydrogenation of chemicals. Together with platinum, the metal is used as catalysts in the production of high-octane gasoline. Rhenium-nickel alloys are used to manufacture single-crystal turbine blades. Evek GmbH offers to buy rhenium. The price is from the manufacturer. The supplier provides product shipment to any location specified by the customer.

Physical properties

Two natural isotopes are known - 185 Re and 187 Re. The toxicity of rhenium and its compounds is not well studied. Only iridium, osmium, and platinum have a density greater than rhenium (20,800 kg/m3).
