Rhenium is a very rare, hard, heavy, silvery metal, which is relatively noble. In nature, it only occurs in compounds in low concentrations, which makes its extraction very laborious and expensive. Rhenium is used as additive in alloys, on which high demands in temperature and durability are made, like in aircraft turbines.
