Manufacturing route used to produce the PM material: Hydrogen reduction

Chemical composition of PM Product: Rhenium

Typical physical properties:
a) Apparent density (g/cm3)
b) Flow rate (s/50g):
c) Sieve analysis:

Compacting properties: 45 % at 300 MPa (dry compaction)

Final product properties:
Density (g/cm3) 85 % of theoretical at 1250°C

Date PM Production First Started: 15/Apr/2004

Material being used currently?: Yes

The high sintering activity of ReActive1108 at low temperatures is a potential to make the forming process of bulk rhenium metal much easier.
