Rhenium

Rhenium (atomic number 75) belongs to the transition metals group on the periodic table. Its silvery-white, lustrous appearance conceals a suite of fascinating chemical properties.

One of the highest melting points of all elements, only second to tungsten, Rhenium melts at 3186 degrees Celsius. It also boasts a high boiling point at 5596 degrees Celsius. These exceptional thermal characteristics make Rhenium an ideal material for high-temperature applications.

Rhenium is also extraordinarily resistant to wear and tarnish, enhancing its value in situations where durability is paramount. Furthermore, this metal displays good resistance to corrosion, especially against acids.
