About Pure Rhenium Metal (indray) and Rhenium Alloys

Rhenium was discovered in 1925 by German scientists named W. Noddack, O. Berg and Ida Tacke in Berlin.

Rhenium was named after “Rhenus”, the Latin name for the Rhine. It is a rare element (abundance 4 x 10 4 ppm in the earth’s crust) and does not occur in quantity in any ore. It is found in ores which contain molybdenum from which it can be readily recovered. The metal is obtained by hydrogen reduction of the potassium perrhenate salt, obtained by precipitation of the perrhenate ion (ReO4) – from an oxidized solution.

Rhenium is a silvery colored metal which resists corrosion and oxidation but slowly tarnishes in moist air. It is soluble in nitric and Sulphur acids. Applications for the metal include its use as an alloying element with tungsten, the resulting alloy having a very high electrical resistance making it suitable for electrical filaments. Rhenium has a very high melting point (3,180° C) and is used in high temperature thermocouples, electrical contacts and thermistors. Rhenium is a heavy transition refractory metal with the highest modulus of elasticity of all the refractory metals (420 GPa). Ny metaly rhenium sy rhenium dia miavaka miaraka amin'ny teboka miempo ambony, moduli avo an'ny elastika ary toetra mekanika maripana avo lenta. The most common rhenium containing alloys are molybdenum 41% rhénium (Mo41%Re) ary molybdenum 47.5% rhénium (Mo-47.5%Re).

Ny angona etsy ambony dia natao ho an'ny fampahafantarana ihany. Ny Eagle Alloys dia tsy tompon'andraikitra amin'ny fahamarinan'ireo atiny na fampiharana ireo. Ny sary vita amin'ny ampahany dia azo alefa any amin'ny antoko fahatelo ho an'ny outsourcing.
