ceramic

· JVASP-31799· RuF6

RuF₆ is a halide ceramic compound containing ruthenium and fluorine, belonging to the class of metal fluorides used primarily in research and specialty applications. This material is notable for its use in uranium enrichment processes (as a fluorinating agent in gaseous diffusion plants) and as a precursor in advanced materials synthesis, particularly for producing ruthenium-based coatings and fluoride ceramics. RuF₆ is distinguished by its high chemical reactivity and volatility at moderate temperatures, making it valuable in chemical processing and nuclear fuel cycle applications where conventional materials would be unsuitable.
