What is Skived Fin Heat Sink

Date:2022-06-10 

Skiving is a manufacturing process where thermal solutions are formed by shaving one solid block of copper or aluminum into a finned heatsink. This method eliminates the resistance layer that is present with the solder layer in stacked fin heatsinks since skived fins are built from a single piece of metal.

Skived fin heat sinks are manufactured by peeling fins from a bar of solid copper or aluminum, using a sharp and accurately controlled blade tool. Skived fin heat sink adopts SKIVING (precision cutting) technology, the shovel blade is thin and uniform, the heat dissipation efficiency is stable, and the effect is better. The strip of material is cut into slices at a certain angle through mechanical action and is straighter. Repeated cutting forms a uniform gap structure. It is used to solve the heat dissipation of high-power devices under air-cooled heat dissipation conditions, which can be improved compared to insert heat sinks. 8~15% heat dissipation efficiency.
In 2012, Pioneer Thermal's self-developed high-power shovel technology was successfully applied to Sungrow’s 500KW central inverter. It has been used in large-scale applications for many years. The cumulative installed capacity of the photovoltaic industry has exceeded 25GW.
With the large-scale application, Pioneer Thermal Skived fin heat sink technology has become more mature, the process coverage has increased, the degree of automation has been gradually improved, and the cost and reliability advantages have been obvious. It has obtained communications, UPS, inverters, controllers, and wind power converters. , SVG and other domestic and foreign customers.
