Refractory Metal Mo-0.5Ti vs Mo-30W
Refractory Metal · grade comparison
Refractory Metal Mo-0.5Ti and Mo-30W are both refractory metal grades. Both yield at about 620 MPa — strength does not separate them. Mo-0.5Ti is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 18% for Mo-30W, and Mo-0.5Ti is harder (25 HRC vs 23 HRC). Mo-0.5Ti is lighter (10.2 g/cm³ vs 11.9 g/cm³ for Mo-30W) and Mo-30W is stiffer (340 GPa vs 320 GPa).

Mo-0.5Ti vs Mo-30W: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all refractory metal grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

Mo-0.5Ti vs Mo-30W — frequently asked
What is the difference between Mo-0.5Ti and Mo-30W?
Refractory Metal Mo-0.5Ti and Mo-30W are both refractory metal grades. Both yield at about 620 MPa — strength does not separate them. Mo-0.5Ti is the more ductile: elongation 20% versus 18% for Mo-30W, and Mo-0.5Ti is harder (25 HRC vs 23 HRC).
Which is cheaper, Mo-0.5Ti or Mo-30W?
Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$$, high); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.
Which is easier to machine, Mo-0.5Ti or Mo-30W?
Mo-0.5Ti. Its machinability rates fair (35/100) against poor (30/100) for Mo-30W.
