· Re2W3C

Re2W3C is a refractory metal carbide composite combining rhenium and tungsten with carbon, belonging to the family of ultra-high-temperature materials designed for extreme thermal and mechanical environments. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest for applications demanding exceptional hardness, thermal stability, and wear resistance at temperatures where conventional superalloys fail. The rhenium-tungsten-carbide system is notable for maintaining strength at elevated temperatures and resisting thermal cycling, making it relevant for cutting tools, aerospace thermal protection, and high-performance wear components, though it remains less widely deployed than established alternatives due to cost and processing complexity.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
