Molybdenum Copper Alloy

Molybdenum Copper Alloy are composite rolled by fusion infiltration of molybdenum-copper alloys and molybdenum-copper sandwich structure bimetallic and mechanically processed into the final product, featuring an adjustable thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity. It offers lower density but a higher thermal expansion coefficient than tungsten-copper (WCu) alloy. Molybdenum Copper Alloys offer good strength and plasticity at room and intermediate temperatures. At high temperatures, copper melts and evaporates, absorbing heat. This property makes the alloy ideal for high-temperature applications like rocket nozzle liners and electrical contacts in arc conditions. Shanghai Yuepeng provides high-precision Mo-Cu alloy products with various specifications, all crafted to ensure exceptional quality and customer satisfaction.

The lead time for stock items is usually 1-2 weeks, while custom orders usually take 3-4 weeks, depending on the specifics of the order.

DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) compliance is primarily concerned with the sourcing of materials for defense-related applications in the United States. According to DFARS, certain materials used in defense must be sourced from the United States or qualifying countries.

If you have specific molybdenum materials that are subject to DFARS, please let us know in advance and we will confirm.

At Shanghai Yuepeng Tech, we take this responsibility seriously. We adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, including Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Our company operates with a strict code of ethics and is committed to only partnering with suppliers who share our dedication to responsible sourcing. We support the initiatives and programs aimed at promoting “conflict-free” supply chains and work diligently to ensure that our products meet these standards.

Molybdenum copper alloy is a composite material consisting of high-melting-point molybdenum and highly conductive copper, not a true alloy. It combines the low thermal expansion of molybdenum with the high thermal/electrical conductivity of copper, and its properties can be tailored by adjusting the composition.

Because it simultaneously offers excellent thermal conductivity and a thermal expansion coefficient that matches semiconductor materials (like silicon, gallium arsenide). This enables efficient heat dissipation while preventing thermal stress failure, making it irreplaceable in electronic packaging and heat sinks.

The key differences are density and thermal expansion coefficient. Tungsten copper is denser with a lower CTE, suitable for ultra-high-density counterweights and stricter thermal matching. Molybdenum copper is lighter, easier to machine, and often a more cost-effective choice for many electronic applications.

Shanghai Yuepeng Tech, established in 2022 in Shanghai, China, is a specialized supplier and manufacturer of molybdenum and molybdenum alloys. With extensive expertise in supply and export, we offer competitive pricing and customized solutions tailored to specific requirements, ensuring outstanding quality and customer satisfaction. As a professional provider of refractory metals, specialty alloys, spherical powders, and various advanced materials, we serve the research, development, and large-scale industrial production needs of the scientific and industrial sectors.
