Recrystallized Grade 364 Molybdenum
Recrystallized 364 molybdenum is grade 364 molybdenum in the recrystallized condition. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare recrystallized 364 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.
