Our molybdenum-copper composites (AMC) combine the unique properties of molybdenum with the high thermal conductivity of copper, resulting in a powerful metal matrix composite for thermal management.
Molybdenum provides a very high melting point, low thermal expansion, and notable thermal conductivity, while copper’s exceptional heat transfer efficiency makes it ideal for dissipating heat.
Molybdenum-Copper Advantages
With a unique blend of mechanical and chemical properties, molybdenum-copper offers exceptional benefits for thermal management applications, including:
High Thermal Conductivity: Our advanced powder metallurgy composites deliver superior through-thickness thermal conductivity, outperforming competitive materials.
High Ductility: Excellent ductility allows precise machining into complex shapes without compromising strength, making AMC ideal for intricate heat dissipation components. Our composites are also readily plateable.
Excellent dimensional stability: With its excellent dimensional stability and corrosion resistance, our material ensures long product service life.
Customized Thermal Expansion: AMC materials are available in standard compositions, but we also offer custom-engineered formulations to meet specific thermal expansion requirements.
