Stress Relieved Grade 360 Molybdenum
Stress relieved 360 molybdenum is grade 360 molybdenum in the stress relieved condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare stress relieved 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.
