Rare metal rhenium gold: challenging and replacing the status of iridium.
The global proven reserves are less than 2,500 tons, and the rare metal rhenium, which is rarer than iridium metal, can replace iridium for the following reasons:
1. The corrosion resistance of rhenium gold is better than that of iridium
In some applications, rhenium is more resistant to corrosion than iridium. Especially in the face of various corrosive media (such as acid, alkali, salt, etc.), the corrosion resistance of rhenium can better resist the erosion of these media, thereby prolonging the service life of the equipment.
2. The mechanical properties of rhenium gold are better
In some applications, the mechanical properties of rhenium may be superior to iridium. For example, rhenium may be stronger and more durable than iridium in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, making it better in certain applications where extreme conditions need to be withstanded.
3. Rhenium**iridium is cheaper:
Compared to 1340 yuan a gram of iridium, 354 yuan a gram of rhenium gold ** is very cheap. This makes it possible to use rhenium instead of iridium in large quantities in some less demanding industrial applications, thereby reducing the procurement cost of the product and improving market competitiveness, even high-end products are constantly replaced by rhenium metal because of the high cost of iridium.
With the continuous use of rhenium metal in the market to replace iridium metal, the value and value of rhenium metal will surely soar due to the intensification of scarcity and short supply, and will be favored by many investors with unique vision and keen sense of smell as a new type of spot investment and financial products.
