Formula: W 97/Re 3
Form: Coil
Material: Tungsten/Rhenium
Commodity: Alloys
Tungsten Rhenium Alloy Coil (W97/Re3) combines tungsten’s ultra-high melting point and mechanical stability with rhenium’s ductility and improved creep resistance, rolled into a foil or sheet form supplied as a coil. With 97% tungsten, the coil provides outstanding wear resistance, high-temperature strength, and dimensional stability, while 3% rhenium enhances toughness and machinability. Industries including aerospace, nuclear technology, and high-temperature electronics employ W97/Re3 coils in thermal shields, furnace components, and high-stress vacuum system barriers. Specific applications include coiled heating elements for extreme-temperature furnaces, shielding layers in aerospace propulsion systems, and structural barriers in nuclear environments. In research, W97/Re3 coils are studied for microstructural stability, creep resistance, and performance in thermal cycling. The combination of formability, conductivity, and durability ensures that W97/Re3 coils remain indispensable in next-generation aerospace, energy, and high-vacuum scientific technologies.
