Torrey Hills Technologies, LLC is a leader in developing and delivering quality yet extremely affordable materials, fabricated parts, and equipment for multiple industries. The company's core business includes refractory metal heat sinks (CuW, CuMo, CMC, CPC), fabricated microelectronics packaging components, molybdenum, tungsten and their alloy materials, and furnace equipment for electronics and solar cell industry.

Copper Molybdenum composite material was developed in 1960’s. It has good electrical conductivity, good thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance, good mach inability and adjustable CTE. It is widely used as heat sinks in microelectronics packaging, vacuum electrical contractor, aerospace and mining industries.

In addition, resembling copper tungsten, copper molybdenum CuMo is an obstinate metal with very high melting point. At the same time, it has low CTE and high thermal conductivity making it a good material for heat sinks. Among heat sink materials, molybdenum’s CTE is one of the closest to that of Silicon, molybdenum is widely used as a carrier (tabs) for die attach. Since Mo is a lot lighter than tungsten, it is desired in much weight sensitive applications like aerospace and portable electronics. In additional, MoCu composite is easier to machine.

Tungsten and its alloy products are supplied by their facility located at the bulk of the world’s tungsten source. They are usually available in sheets, plates, rods, discs and bars. Tungsten is suitable for aerospace and high temperature uses which include electrical, heating, and welding applications. Hardness and density properties make this metal ideal for making heavy metal alloys such as copper tungsten that are used in armament, heat sinks, and high density applications. Torrey Hills Technologies stock Copper Tungsten Rods 8" and 12" in length with different diameters. The shape of the Copper Tungsten Rods can be round or hexagon.

Copper tungsten provides high wear resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance, can be widely used for EDM Welding, Electrical Resistance Welding and other electrode applications. Over the years, Torrey Hills Technologies has expanded its business from microelectronics packaging components and refractory metals to include solar cell and the thick film manufacturing equipment. Headquartered in San Diego, Calif., its mission is to help customers achieve higher profitability by providing innovative products and services. Products from Torrey Hills Technologies had been shipped worldwide to more than 60 countries.
