Molybdenum Rhenium Alloy

Molybdenum-Rhenium alloy targets are used in sputtering processes to create thin films for electronic components and aerospace sensors requiring high ductility and thermal stability.

Rhenium is added to molybdenum as an alloying element to significantly improve the material's ductility, weldability, and high-temperature strength compared to pure molybdenum.

Mo-Re alloys are utilized in high-temperature structural components, such as heat exchangers and furnace parts, due to their excellent creep resistance and high melting point.

As a refractory alloy, it is employed in demanding environments like rocket engines and nuclear reactors where resistance to extreme heat and mechanical stress is required.
