What are these?
What are these? They are conductive, somewhat. and there is a difference in resistance between colors.
 
Only one marked. others have handwritings on them, numbers.

Some kind of electrodes?

yea, that is what I am thinking, but the shape seems weird.

The shape would make sense if the middle (thin) bit is meant to get hot when you pass a current through it.
Anyone else got any ideas?
What size are they?

I'd say electrodes of some kind as well or maybe heating elements of some kind or reisitors.? Possibly even some kind of extremely high amperage
diode used for power lines?
Yeah a size or comparison would be helpful. I was thinking they were about 12"-15" long and maybe 3/8-1/2" diam in the center part?

i know what they are, i searched for them some time ago, they are molybdenum disilicide heating elements, they get hotter than any other type of
heating element, very good for really high temperature kilns (without using electric arc technology)

feel free to correct my grammar, or any mistakes i make

My initial thought was maybe a sample of some experimental metal, in an appropriate shape for a tensile strength tester (by the way, I'm not affiliated with that company). But it seems unlikely that you'd have found an untested specimen for
sale or just laying around.
I too would like the dimensions. How conductive is "somewhat"- a milliohm, a few hundred milliohms, a few whole ohms? More crucially, where did you
find these thingies?

Hey, thanks for the answers!
I attached a photo with measurements..
Looks more like molybdenum disilicide heating elements. looks like composite material, not like a pure metal..
And not a diode, because resistance is the same both ways.
