MATERIAL
OVERVIEW
Characteristics:
Silver-white solid or gray to black powder. Tensile
strength 80,000 psi; high modules of elasticity.
Attacked by strong oxidizing agents (nitric and
sulfuric acids). Practically insoluble in hydrochloric
acid. Retains its crystal structure all the way to its
melting point. Has the widest range of valences of any
element. Rhenium-molybdenum alloys are superconductive
at 10 oK.
Not attacked by sea water.
Hazards:
Flammable in powder form.
