Article: Advancements In Powder Metallurgy Rhenium.(International Conference on Powder Metallurgy and Particulate Materials)

Several developments in rhenium PM, discussed at the 2001 International Conference on Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials, open the way to greater use of the material.

Rhenium and rhenium alloys offer attractive high-temperature properties for use in aerospace applications. However, traditional methods used to make components are time consuming and have high production costs. Historically, rhenium has been produced in standard rod, bar, plate and sheet forms, and components were made from these shapes using electrical discharge machining (EDM) to produce the required shapes to specified tolerances. The method works well, but is time consuming and has a low ...
