REG Metals supplies Molybdenum Rhenium Alloy Tubes (Mo-Re Tubes) for aerospace, defense, semiconductor, medical, furnace, nuclear, electronics, and research applications. Molybdenum Rhenium (Mo-Re) alloy combines the exceptional high-temperature performance of molybdenum with the improved ductility, weldability, and strength provided by rhenium. These properties make Mo-Re alloy tubing an excellent choice for applications operating in extreme temperatures, high vacuum environments, and corrosive atmospheres.
Molybdenum Rhenium Alloy Tubes are widely used in thermocouples, high-temperature furnaces, aerospace propulsion systems, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, medical imaging devices, and scientific instrumentation. Compared to pure molybdenum, Mo-Re alloys exhibit improved ductility, greater resistance to thermal fatigue, enhanced creep resistance, and superior mechanical performance at elevated temperatures.
REG Metals supplies seamless and fabricated Molybdenum Rhenium Alloy Tubes in a variety of diameters, wall thicknesses, lengths, and custom specifications. All material can be supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), chemical composition reports, and full material traceability.
