Rhenium Oxide, Disk, 99.9%, 8 mm dia. x 5 mm th.

Rhenium oxide is utilized as a precursor for the deposition of rhenium-based thin films via thermal evaporation processes due to its relatively low sublimation temperature.

As a precursor to metallic rhenium, which has one of the highest melting points of all elements, it is critical in the production of refractory components and superalloys.
