Industrial applications of rhenium

Applications for rhenium

Rhenium is mainly used in aggressive operating environments with component temperatures above 1000 °C. Typical applications include the production of filaments, thermocouples, thermocouple wires, etc. Also the use of rhenium is practically a non-alternative option for industries such as:

  • nuclear power industry (nuclear boiler shells);
  • production of aircraft and space equipment;
  • petrochemical industry;
  • production of heat-resistant steels and special alloys.

Demand for this heavy and refractory metal is constantly growing, as it is almost irreplaceable in the production of modern high-tech products. Its alloys with tungsten or molybdenum increase strength while improving ductility. Rhenium alloying makes steel alloys red-resistant, they perfectly cope with multiple heating and cooling without losing their main qualities: strength and wear resistance. The demand for rhenium in the petrochemical industry began to grow in the second half of the last century when rhenium-platinum catalysts appeared. Whereas previously most of this metal was used to alloy high-temperature alloys, in recent years 75% of production has been used to produce catalysts. To measure the highest temperatures (over 2000°C), BP grade thermocouples made of rhenium and tungsten alloys are used. They are much more accurate than standard tungsten + molybdenum thermocouples.
