Rhenium: The Ultra‑High‑Density Metal for Filaments and Refractory Applications

Rhenium: 6 Fascinating Facts About This Rare, High‑Melting Metal Rhenium is a silver‑white transition metal in period 6 of the periodic table. One of the rarest elements in the Earths crust, it boasts the second‑highest melting point and a boiling point that tops most metals. Below are six compell

Why Rhenium Is Essential in Modern Gasoline Production In the previous article “Overview of the Refractory Metal Rhenium,” we explored its discovery, properties, and unique effects. Despite only about 50 tons of rhenium being mined each year, its high‑cost demand drives continuous innovation. Th

CuBe2, mat. No CW101C, is counted among hardenable, low alloyed copper alloys. To the comparable make CuBe2, mat. No 2.1247, acc. to DIN 17666 : 1983-12 applies: It is an alloy of optimal hardenability for highest requirements to strength, elasticity, abrasion and fatigue resistance. CuBe2 shows mea

1.3912 (FeNi36) is a 36% nickel-iron alloy. It exhibits a near zero rate of thermal expansion from around –100°C up to 200°C. This is around a tenth of the expansion rate of carbon steels. Alloy 36 also demonstrates a high retention of strength and toughness at cryogenic temperatures, making it suit
