Refractory Metal Mo-47.5Re-ANN vs Mo-47.5Re-AW
Refractory Metal · Mo-47.5Re temper comparison
Mo-47.5Re-ANN and Mo-47.5Re-AW are two conditions of the same refractory metal grade, Mo-47.5Re: ANN (annealed) versus AW (as-welded deposit). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Mo-47.5Re-AW is the stronger of the two: yield strength 520 MPa (75.4 ksi) against 490 MPa (71.1 ksi) for Mo-47.5Re-ANN, about 6% more. In exchange, Mo-47.5Re-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 26% versus 14% for Mo-47.5Re-AW, and Mo-47.5Re-AW is harder (27 HRC vs 23 HRC).

Mo-47.5Re-ANN vs Mo-47.5Re-AW: 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-47.5Re-ANN vs Mo-47.5Re-AW — frequently asked
Is Mo-47.5Re-AW stronger than Mo-47.5Re-ANN?
Yes. Mo-47.5Re-AW has a typical yield strength of 520 MPa (75.4 ksi) against 490 MPa (71.1 ksi) for Mo-47.5Re-ANN — about 6% more. Tensile strength is 900 MPa (131 ksi) vs 860 MPa (125 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, ANN or AW?
SR is the default Mo-47.5Re condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither ANN nor AW). The other condition is available on request or by drawing note — specify it in the material field or the part notes and the quote is priced for it.
Which welds better, Mo-47.5Re-ANN or Mo-47.5Re-AW?
Mo-47.5Re-ANN. Its weldability rates very good (80/100) against very good (75/100) for Mo-47.5Re-AW.
