Refractory Metal Mo-La As Rolled vs Mo-La As Sintered
Refractory Metal · Mo-La temper comparison
Mo-La As Rolled and Mo-La As Sintered are two conditions of the same refractory metal grade, Mo-La: As Rolled (hot rolled) versus As Sintered (sintered). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Mo-La As Rolled is the stronger of the two: yield strength 560 MPa (81.2 ksi) against 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) for Mo-La As Sintered, about 87% more; tensile strength follows at 700 MPa (102 ksi) vs 380 MPa (55.1 ksi). Mo-La As Rolled is the more ductile: elongation 8% versus 3% for Mo-La As Sintered, and Mo-La As Rolled is harder (228 HB vs 171 HB). Mo-La As Rolled is stiffer (320 GPa vs 280 GPa) and Mo-La As Rolled conducts heat better (120 W/m·K vs 105 W/m·K).

Mo-La As Rolled vs Mo-La As Sintered: 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-La As Rolled vs Mo-La As Sintered — frequently asked
Is Mo-La As Rolled stronger than Mo-La As Sintered?
Yes. Mo-La As Rolled has a typical yield strength of 560 MPa (81.2 ksi) against 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) for Mo-La As Sintered — about 87% more. Tensile strength is 700 MPa (102 ksi) vs 380 MPa (55.1 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, As Rolled or As Sintered?
As Rolled is the default Mo-La condition in the FabDigit quote flow. 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 is easier to machine, Mo-La As Rolled or Mo-La As Sintered?
Mo-La As Rolled. Its machinability rates fair (35/100) against poor (30/100) for Mo-La As Sintered; for welding the order is Mo-La As Rolled first (poor, 20/100) then Mo-La As Sintered (poor, 15/100).
