Rhenium

allotrope
Re

One of the rarest metals on Earth, in its stable hexagonal close-packed form

← Allotrope of Rhenium

Rhenium has the second-highest melting point of any element — this hexagonal lattice is why jet engines trust it.

A crystalline allotrope of Rhenium (space group P6_3/mmc), sourced from the Crystallography Open Database (COD 1539233).
