ReSurgent is an advanced materials platform from Los Alamos National Laboratory that enhances the performance and durability of critical components in the world’s most demanding environments. By applying a highly resilient rhenium alloy coating to conventional materials, ReSurgent enables longer-lasting, more reliable systems while reducing cost and maintenance. Beyond protection, it also unlocks new functional...
View moreTechnical Description:
ReSurgent is based on a controlled electrochemical deposition approach that enables the formation of dense, adherent rhenium and rhenium-alloy coatings. The process leverages tailored electrolyte compositions and dynamically modulated electrical waveforms to regulate metal ion reduction and film growth. By managing competing side reactions and deposition kinetics, the method produces coatings with low porosity, minimal internal stress and strong substrate adhesion, while maintaining compositional control for binary or multicomponent rhenium alloys.
The platform is adaptable to a range of substrate geometries and scales, including complex and non-line-of-sight surfaces, and supports coating thicknesses relevant for structural and protective applications. Resulting films exhibit desirable microstructural uniformity and can be engineered to enhance properties such as high-temperature stability, oxidation resistance and wear performance, making ReSurgent suitable for demanding environments across aerospace, energy and advanced manufacturing sectors.
