Recrystallized Grade 360 Molybdenum
Recrystallized 360 molybdenum is grade 360 molybdenum in the recrystallized condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare recrystallized 360 molybdenum to: molybdenum alloys (top), all alloys in the same category (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
