Applications of Molybdenum Rhenium Alloys

0 Comment

Applications of Molybdenum Rhenium Alloys So far, rhenium is the most effective element to improve the properties of molybdenum alloys. The addition of rhenium greatly reduces the plastic-brittle transition temperature of the molybdenum alloy, so that the molybdenum-rhenium alloy has good room temperature performance. At the same time, it can increase the recrystallization temperature of […]

Preparation Methods & Applications of Tungsten Rhenium Alloy

0 Comment

Applications of Tungsten Rhenium Alloy Tungsten and rhenium are both metals with a high melting point, and they are widely used in high-temperature fields. However, they also have shortcomings. For example, pure tungsten is brittle and has a low recrystallization temperature and pure rhenium has poor processing performance and is expensive, which greatly limits its application range. But tungsten […]
