Additional Information On Rhenium Scrap

Rhenium has one of the highest melting points of all the elements. It’s also an incredibly dense metal. Almost three-quarters of all the earth’s rhenium is used in the manufacturing of superalloys for jet engine and military or civil engine parts, including: turbine blades, vanes, and combustion liners. Containing 2 to 6 percent rhenium, superalloys have the ability to tolerate high temperatures and exposure to high oxygen levels.

Second to jet engine manufacturing is rhenium’s usage in platinum-rhenium catalysts, which are mainly used to make lead-free, high-octane gasoline. A catalyst is a substance used to speed up or slow down chemical reactions without changing itself. Other rhenium uses include devices that control temperature, like thermostats, heating elements, vacuum tubes, etc.

Through Rhenium scrap recycling efforts, 10 tons of rhenium are salvaged annually, and because the metal is so rare, Rhenium price remains stable or rising.
