HIGH PERFORMANCE ALLOYS / INNOVATIVE ALLOYS / FUTURE ALLOYS

Refractory metal

Refractory metals generally refer to metals whose melting point is higher than 1650℃ and have certain reserves. Generally, they include tungsten, rhenium, tantalum, molybdenum, niobium and iridium and vanadium. Their melting points are tungsten 3390℃, rhenium 3180℃, tantalum 2996℃, molybdenum 2620℃, Niobium 2468℃, iridium 2410℃ and vanadium 1890℃. The most important advantages of refractory metals are good high temperature strength, good corrosion resistance to molten alkali metals and steam, its main shortage is poor high temperature oxidation resistance. There are four ways to strengthen refractory metals: solid solution strengthening, work hardening, precipitation strengthening and dispersion strengthening. Application areas including steel and non-ferrous metal alloy additive, mining tool, cutting tool, processing mould, as well as parts material of electronic, electric light source and electrical etc areas, corrosion resistant parts of chemical engineering, heating element and heat insulation screen of high temperature and high vacuum department, armor-piercing core, radiation protection material, instrument parts, hot working tools and welding electrodes, etc.

High performance tungsten rhenium alloy

Tungsten-rhenium alloy is composed of tungsten and rhenium. One is low rhenium alloy, containing less than 5% rhenium; the other is high rhenium alloy with 20-30% rhenium content. The method of preparation is similar to that of tungsten. The main application is the filament of special electron tube and color picture tube, high temperature parts which requires high strength and high plastic. The matching of low rhenium alloy and high rhenium alloy can be used for high temperature thermocouple for testing temperature of 1500-3000℃.

Rhenium effect: 3-5% rhenium is often added to doped tungsten wire, which is called tungsten rhenium wire. It can reduce the ductility transition temperature of tungsten to room temperature or below. This is a very peculiar rhenium effect, so far no element has been found to replace rhenium, which has the same effect in tungsten.
