Rhenium Foil - T 2mm 10mm x 10mm

Details

SKU: 1000178563 Product Code: RE00-FL-000220
Rhenium Foil offers high density, excellent ductility, and outstanding resistance to thermal fatigue, making it well-suited for precision applications in extreme environments. The thin, flat form allows for fine cutting and shaping into components for electronics, aerospace systems, and catalysis. Industries use rhenium foil in electrical contacts, X-ray equipment components, and high-temperature furnace parts. Specific applications include grids in mass spectrometers, heating elements in vacuum furnaces, and catalysts in chemical reforming. In research, rhenium foil is used to study refractory metal performance, thin-film deposition processes, and high-temperature oxidation resistance. Its combination of ductility, heat tolerance, and chemical stability ensures ongoing importance in both industrial and scientific innovations.
