Every element and industry that Rhenium is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.

- [Aerospace and defence](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/aerospace-and-defence-and-rhenium/): Rhenium is the few-per-cent addition that lets single-crystal turbine blades survive the hottest part of a jet engine; superalloys take about 80% of supply, but because mined rhenium comes only as a by-product of roasting molybdenum concentrates, world output of about 81 tonnes in 2025 cannot rise quickly when engine demand does. *(researched)*
- [Molybdenum](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/molybdenum-and-rhenium/): Rhenium is caught from the gases given off when molybdenite concentrate is roasted, so its supply is fixed by molybdenum and copper output, while its demand comes from jet-engine superalloys that also use molybdenum. *(researched)*
