Features
Molybdenum copper has an excellent thermal spreading effect. It is a vital property for heat sinks and heat spreaders in high-power and high-frequency electronics. Take an example of the MoCu composites containing 15% to 18% copper.Mo75Cu25 exhibits outstanding thermal conduction as high as 160 W·m-1 ·K-1. While copper tungsten composite materials with comparable copper fractions exhibit relatively high thermal and high electrical conductivity, molybdenum copper has a lower specific density and superior machinability. Both are necessary concerns for weight-sensitive and integrated micro-electronics.
Therefore, molybdenum copper is a well-suited material for heat sinks and heat spreaders by virtue of its superb heat dissipation, electrical transmission, weight sensitivity, and machinability.
Applications
Molybdenum Copper Alloy has broad application prospects. There are mainly: vacuum contacts, conductive heat dissipation components, instrumentation components, rockets that are used at a slightly lower temperature, high-temperature components of missiles, and components in other weapons, such as range extenders. At the same time, it is also used for solid sealing, sliding friction reinforcing ribs, water-cooled electrode heads in high-temperature furnaces, and electro-machined electrodes.
