Applications

Additive manufacturing

The application of rhenium in 3D printing mainly involves fields such as aerospace, industrial gas turbine components, and medical implants. Refractory metals, particularly rhenium (Rhenium), have significant application potential in 3D printing technology due to their high melting point and excellent high-temperature performance.
1. Medical Field
Additive manufacturing is increasingly applied in the medical field for the production of orthopedic appliances, prosthetics, artificial organs, and other medical devices and equipment. It can also simulate surgical operations before surgery, improving the success rate and safety of operations.
2. Aerospace Field
Additive manufacturing enables the production of complex aerospace components such as engine nozzles, propellers, and parachutes. Through additive manufacturing, these components can be made lighter and stronger, enhancing the safety and performance of aerospace vehicles.
3. Automotive Manufacturing Field
Additive manufacturing can be used to manufacture automotive components such as brake discs, exhaust pipes, and wheel hubs. Compared to traditional manufacturing processes, additive manufacturing results in lighter, lower-cost components with higher operational efficiency.
4. Energy Field
Additive manufacturing allows for the production of efficient energy equipment such as turbine blades and gas turbine blades, enhancing equipment performance and improving energy utilization rates.
