The manufacturer of Molybdenum Rhenium Rod tells you that rhenium has become an important material used in many fields because of its excellent properties mentioned above. In the metallurgical industry, rhenium is used as an alloy additive element to improve the performance of the alloy. For example, pure tungsten and molybdenum become brittle like glass at lower temperatures, making them difficult to process and limiting their use. However, tungsten-rhenium alloy or molybdenum-rhenium alloy made by adding an appropriate amount of rhenium to tungsten or molybdenum has good plasticity and can be processed into various structural materials, and also maintains high hardness, high strength and high temperature resistance. Many parts on the manned spacecraft of the United States are made of this kind of rhenium alloy. The manufacturer of Molybdenum Rhenium Rod tells you that adding a small amount of rhenium to chromium-nickel alloy can greatly increase the melting point and strength of the alloy. The service life of parts made of this alloy can be extended several times to dozens of times.

Rhenium is mainly used as a catalyst in the petroleum industry, as well as element additives in superalloys and superalloys. Pure rhenium products can be used for high-temperature parts in particularly harsh working atmospheres. The manufacturer of Molybdenum Rhenium Rod tells you that metal rhenium plating (such as rhenium plating on the surface of tungsten used in space technology) can increase wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Rhenium wire or rhenium-plated tungsten wire is used as the filament and cathode of the electron tube, which is more durable than tungsten wire in argon or nitrogen containing trace moisture. Rhenium has high temperature stability and strong resistance to electric corrosion under arc action, so rhenium-tungsten alloy can be used in the working part of electrical contacts, and its performance can be compared with platinum and ruthenium products.
Rhenium has high electron emission properties and is widely used in radio, television and vacuum technology. The manufacturer of Molybdenum Rhenium Rod tells you that rhenium has a very high melting point and is a major high-temperature instrument material. The tungsten-rhenium thermocouple does not soften at 3100 °C. Adding rhenium to tungsten or molybdenum to form an alloy can increase ductility. Rhenium and rhenium alloys can also be used as electronic tube components and ultra-high temperature heaters to evaporate metals. Rhenium is used as a high-temperature coating on rockets and missiles. Rhenium is required for instruments and high-temperature components used in spacecraft such as heat shields, arc discharges, and electrical contactors.
