Description

To obtain greater ductility and a lower brittle-to-ductile transition temperature, tungsten is alloyed with rhenium. Moreover, tungsten-rhenium has a higher recrystallization temperature and better creep resistance.

This material data has been provided by Plansee.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
