Rhenium is primarily used in the aerospace industry as an alloying agent in superalloys for turbine blades in jet engines due to its high melting point and resistance to wear and corrosion; it is also utilized as a catalyst in the petrochemical industry for processes like hydrogenation and reforming of hydrocarbons, thanks to its resistance to poisoning by sulfur and nitrogen compounds.
Key applications of rhenium:
- Most commonly used in jet engine components like turbine blades due to its high melting point and strength at high temperatures.Catalysis:
- Employed as a catalyst in petroleum refining processes to produce lead-free gasoline, particularly for hydrogenation reactions due to its resistance to poisoning by sulfur and nitrogen.Electrical contacts:
- Used in applications requiring high wear resistance and ability to withstand arcing, such as in electrical contacts.Filaments:
- Rhenium wire can be used in flash lamps for photography and as filaments in mass spectrometers.Medical applications:
- Radioactive isotopes of rhenium are used in cancer treatments, particularly for liver tumors.Important points about rhenium:
- Rarity: Rhenium is a very rare metal, usually obtained as a byproduct of molybdenum mining.
- High cost: Due to its scarcity, rhenium is a relatively expensive metal.
- Alloying properties: Rhenium is often combined with other metals like tungsten and molybdenum to enhance their properties.
