Rhenium is an extremely rare and high-value metal critical for superalloy jet engine components and petroleum reforming catalysts.
Dense silvery-grey metal Melting point: 3,186°C (second highest of all elements) Density: 21.0 g/cm³ High-temperature strength retention
• Single-crystal superalloy turbine blades (largest use) • Petroleum reforming catalysts (Pt-Re catalyst) • High-temperature thermocouples • Filaments for mass spectrometry • Gyroscope components
REACH compliant. Very high value — small quantities, high precision.
Direct supply from specialty rare metal producers.
Generally safe. Fine powder requires standard metal powder precautions.
