Rhenium possesses a unique combination of properties Ibnt milk£ it an excellent choice for many appliCiltions demanding high-temperature strength, wear resistance and er0-sion resistance. While fhe majoruseofrhenillm is still in bimetallic catalysts, renewed interest in improved propulsion and space-power systems has led to increased development of rhmium as a structural material. Recent investigations have illustrated the tremem/ous advantages of rhenium in cerlll;n structural applications. The superiorperformanceofrhenium am be attributed to its chemical inertness, superior high-temperature strength and room-temperature ductility. In several deImmding applications, "limy of rhenium's properties can be optimally expwifed by using chemical vapor deposition
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
