Molybdenum lanthanum oxide is often the alloy of choice when embrittlement after recrystallization must be avoided along with assurance of dimensional shape stability at high-temperatures.
Small amounts of lanthanum oxide particles (0.3-0.7%) are combined with molybdenum to create a special stacked fiber microstructure that is stable at temperatures up to 2000°C. This alloy known as molybdenum lanthanum oxide or ML increases the recrystallization temperature to 1300°C (90% def). After recrystallization the elongated grain structure with jagged grain boundaries provides a measurable increase in ductility and creep resistant strength than that of the pure molybdenum.
