Rhenium-molybdenum alloys are superconductive at 10 K. Rhenium was discovered in 1925 by Walter Noddack, Ida Noddack-Tacke, and Otto Berg in Germany in platinum ores, such as columbite and tung-state. What is the price of rhenium? Rhenium metal pellet prices averaged $1,000 per kilogram in 2020, a 20% decrease fromRead More →

Tungsten is the only metallic element with a higher melting point. Rhenium is used as an additive to tungsten- and molybdenum-based alloys to give useful properties. These alloys are used for oven filaments and x-ray machines. … Some rhenium is used in nickel alloys to make single-crystal turbine blades. IsRead More →
