Abstract:Rhenium (Re) is a promising refractory metal that has unique combination of properties. Compared to other refractory metals, Re has the greatest tensile strength and excellent creep resistance over a wide range of temperatures (up to ~2000°C). Pure Re does not have a ductile-to-brittle transition temperature. Moreover, unlike other refractory metals, Re does not form stable carbides. Thus, it is potentially attractive coating on different carbon material.
