A lot of research is being conducted to come up with low-cost manufacturing methods that will produce an extruded heat sink that incorporates more fins in small-sized heat sink packages. Aluminum is an excellent material for an extruded heat sink.
Inexpensive tooling is used to shape the fin details of an extruded aluminum heatsink easily. The surface area is limited by the extrusion ratio or the number of fins and the height. A Cooling Source extruded aluminum heatsink is a cost-effective solution for most electronic cooling applications.
Extruded heat sink profiles allow engineers to start or select a design from a pre-tooled extruded heat sink profile. Applications can be for a range of electronic packages. The increased surface area of the complex fin profiles allows for greater heat dissipation while eliminating the time and cost of machining equivalent block aluminum shapes.
The continued advance in consumer electronics and the rapid growth of options for LED lighting bring increased demands for energy with a smaller footprint. Increased power can be detrimental to electronics. The new demands present a thermal management challenge.
The Process
Innovative new processes in aluminum extrusion improve the quality and speed of the extrusions. Higher ratio air-cooled heatsinks are produced that are especially suitable for power electronics and lighting industries.
The most common technology for thermal management of cooling power electronics modules is extruded aluminum heatsinks. Often the technology of manufacturing new products is more advanced than the products themselves.
For extruded aluminum, understanding of the material is not enough for designers and engineers to take advantage of the versatility of aluminum. Cooling Source understands the appropriate extrusion process needed for the most efficient product or material solution.
Complex fin structures are created by forcing aluminum throw extrusion dies. The basic process uses extreme pressure to press aluminum billet logs through the dies to establish the length of extruded aluminum shapes or profiles.
