A series of alloys with high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance can be obtained from ruthenium and other metals. These alloys can be used to manufacture high-temperature, high-strength components and thermal shields for supersonic aircraft and missiles, leading to a sharp increase in global ruthenium consumption. In recent years, the consumption of ruthenium in alloys has surpassed its consumption in catalysts, with superheat-resistant alloys becoming its most important application field. China’s aviation industry requires a large amount of the rare metal ruthenium to produce military aircraft engines. As an additive material for single-crystal blades, ruthenium can improve the temperature stability of turbine blades and increase the traction and durability of dual-path turbojet engines with afterburners. However, the domestic comprehensive utilization level of ruthenium-containing molybdenite is relatively low, resulting in low rhenium production. Therefore, China needs to import ruthenium to meet some of its demands, with an external dependence rate reaching 50%. Currently, all the engine types used by China’s land and naval air forces are imported. As China’s engine technology matures year by year, there is huge potential for increased domestic engine usage in the next five years.
