UNS R03610
Molybdenum wire screen is used in extremely high-temperature environments. It has good electrical conductivity, a high strength to weight ratio, excellent ductility, low density, and is resistant to hydrogen embrittlement. It is often used in heating elements, fasteners, structural components, electronics, solar, and semiconductor industries.
