There are many kinds of molybdenum alloy, including molybdenum rhenium alloy, molybdenum copper alloy, tungsten molybdenum alloy, molybdenum titanium alloy and so on. Molybdenum copper alloy (Mo-Cu) refers to the alloy material composed of two metal elements, molybdenum and copper. Molybdenum copper alloy has the advantages of good processing performance, high strength, high temperature resistance, arc ablation resistance, etc., and is widely used in electronic and electrical, aerospace, photovoltaic, petrochemical, metallurgy, machining and other fields.
Molybdenum copper alloy industry chain upstream for the supply of raw materials, including metal molybdenum and metal copper. Molybdenum belongs to the national strategic mineral resources, with high thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion characteristics, in the nuclear industry, aerospace, non-ferrous metals, electronic and electrical fields more applications. China’s molybdenum ore resources are relatively rich, according to the International Molybdenum Association (IMOA) statistics show that in 2022, China’s molybdenum production reached 113,000 tons, an increase of 12%. The sufficient supply of raw materials provides favorable conditions for the development of China’s molybdenum copper alloy industry. The middle reaches of the molybdenum copper alloy industry chain is the product manufacturing, and the main preparation methods are tungsten and molybdenum skeleton fusion and liquid phase sintering. Tungsten and molybdenum skeleton melting method refers to tungsten powder and molybdenum powder as the main raw materials, through sintering, melting and other processes, and then add copper, the final product is produced, this method has the advantages of convenient operation and low production cost, but only suitable for the production of low copper content of molybdenum copper alloy; Liquid phase sintering method refers to the forming operation of raw materials, and then the liquid phase sintering to produce finished products, this method has the defects of poor quality and low density of finished products.
According to the “2023-2028 China Molybdenum copper alloy (Mo-Cu) industry market in-depth research and development prospects forecast Report” released by the New Thought industry Research Center, the downstream of the molybdenum copper alloy industry chain is the application field, including electronics and electrical, aerospace, photovoltaic, petrochemical, metallurgy, machining and so on. In electronic and electrical fields, molybdenum copper alloy can be used to manufacture high-power microelectronic devices, electronic packaging materials, etc. In the aerospace field, molybdenum copper alloy has oxidation resistance and high temperature resistance, and can be used to manufacture aircraft engine combustion chamber wall panels, turbine blades, etc.
Luoyang Molybdenum is a leading molybdenum copper alloy enterprise in China, focusing on the research and development, production and sales of molybdenum, tungsten and related alloys. The molybdenum copper alloys produced by Luoyang Molybdenum are exported to many overseas countries while meeting the local market demand.
Industry analysts said that molybdenum copper alloy has excellent comprehensive performance and broad application prospects in many high-tech fields. Benefiting from sufficient supply of raw materials and technological advances, China’s molybdenum copper alloy production continues to increase. In terms of market competition, there are many molybdenum copper alloy manufacturers in China, and Luoyang Molybdenum Industry, as a leading enterprise, has a leading capacity in China.
