About Rheniumet 

Rheniumet Super Carbide Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Rheniumet), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rheniumet Ltd., is a high-tech manufacturing enterprise specializing in rare and precious metal and high-temperature ultra-hard precision components made of refractory metal. Relying on our independent innovation, research and development technology, we focus on developing and iterating new materials and products.

Rheniumet was established in 2009, with its headquarters located in Changsha. Since the operation of the Zhuzhou industrial base in 2020, we have achieved two notable developments in the industry: Firstly, in the medical field, Rheniumet has developed the latest generation of high-strength, high-performance rhenium alloy materials with ultra-thin dimensions for orthopedic implants and cardiovascular stents. Secondly, in the hard tool industry, Rheniumet has developed new types of high-temperature ultra-hard precision cutting tools, high-temperature wear-resistant stamping and extrusion molds for the new energy industry, and high-temperature wear-resistant tools, tooling, and precision integrated components for extreme geological mining, oil and gas drilling applications. These two major technological innovation product series have made Rheniumet possess the capability and potential to lead the global new quality manufacturing technology level in these sub-segments.

Rheniumet is committed to using "rhenium" as the core point to innovate and develop a variety of rhenium-containing new alloy materials and composite integrated tooling solutions.

Rheniumet's first major technological innovation is to combine rhenium with other refractory metals such as tungsten and molybdenum through new alloying process technologies to form ultra-high-temperature alloy materials, and further iterate towards the thinner materials, finer dimensions, stronger performance, more complete specifications, and greater compatibility or compositeness with other materials. This is reflected in products such as ultra-thin WRe/MoRe foils, sheets, tubes; ultra-fine WRe/MoRe bars, wires, tubes; and super-strong WRe/MoRe high-entropy high-temperature structural parts.

Rheniumet's "high-temperature cemented carbide" series, the other major innovative technology, mainly focus on enhancing the high-temperature, high-hardness, and high-strength properties of alloy materials, and specifically address the customer's demand for high-temperature resistance, burn resistance, wear resistance, creep resistance, and fatigue resistance under extreme, limit, and harsh conditions, providing high-performance new materials and high-efficiency advanced tooling or system solutions.

Rheniumet has a professional "rhenium" element application research center and a technology exploration laboratory, with tens of thousands of square meters of rhenium metal refining and alloy deep processing industrial manufacturing base, not only capable of refining and processing high-quality raw materials such as rhenium compounds and rhenium metal powders, but also capable of manufacturing rhenium alloy products and high-temperature hard precision parts and components.

The core founding team of the company has nearly 20 people with more than 10 invention patent technology achievements. Through years of practice, Rheniumet has taken a leading position in the field of new refractory metals and their alloying materials and new technology special projects, especially in the industrial application research and high-precision manufacturing technology of rhenium. Since 2018, Rheniumet has started to invest 100 million yuan in the production line upgrade and expansion construction project of 100 tons of high-purity rhenium metal and 1000 tons of rhenium alloy components. The first stage of the project was officially put into operation in early 2020, and the second stage of the project was started in 2023, with an expected official operation in 2025. After the completion of the project, Rheniumet, with large production capacity, advanced process, and excellent product performance, will become the leading manufacturing base of pure rhenium metal, WRe alloy wire and other profiles, MoRe alloy tubes and other profiles, and rhenium-containing high-temperature cemented carbide in the world.

Rheniumet provides users with eight series of more than fifty varieties of high-temperature cemented carbide tools, molds, and tooling supporting products. We have been a long-term supplier to several large clients in important fields both globally and domestically. We possesses advanced planning and design capabilities for product specifications and quality, as well as the ability to innovate and break through in production and processing technologies. Our user group is mainly concentrated in high-tech equipment fields such as aviation/aerospace power core and thermal equipment, military equipment, nuclear energy, rail transit, unmanned aerial vehicles, geological mining and tunneling, oil drilling, coal chemical industry, catalysts, semiconductors, and precision electronics. We provide users with high-performance tools, molds, and grinding tools for difficult-to-process materials cutting, grinding, and precision stamping forming, high-temperature measuring, high-temperature thermal field equipment, special light sources, and special electrodes.

Rheniumet's product series include: high-purity ammonium perrhenate, high-purity rhenium powder, high-temperature friction stir welding heads, high-purity rhenium ingots, medical rhenium alloy tubes, MOCVD heating elements, high-temperature hardfaced TC bearings, ultra-hard integral end mills for high-temperature alloy material processing.

Rheniumet is determined to become a leading material and precision component developer and manufacturer in China and even globally, specializing in meeting the application requirements of the tooling field under a range of extreme conditions, such as high-temperature burn resistance, high strength and load-bearing, and high hardness and wear resistance!
