What is Aluminum Heat Sink,Heat Sink Solution

An aluminum heat sink is the most widely used product for thermal solutions. After oxygen and silicon, aluminum is the most common element in the Earth's crust. The properties that make a aluminium heatsink popular include: Good thermal and electrical conductivity. Low density with a density ~ 2,700 kg/m³.

They are normally in 5 types aluminum heat sinks as follows: extruded heatsink, bonded-fin heatsink, skived fin heatsink, die casting heatsink and pin fin heatsink.

Extruded heat sink
Extruded heatsink is produced by extrusion manufacturing process.
Extruded aluminum heat sinks are the most common types of heat sinks in use. They are affordable and offer good heat management. Extruded heat sinks can be of many cross section. You can have various colors through different surface treatment, such as anodized, powder coated, elecrtophoresis coating etc.
Bonded fin heat sink
Bonded fin heatsinks is a fitting of a grooved base with single fins bonded into the grooves. This type of heat sink fabrication has higher fin densities and fin aspect ratios compared with extruded heatsink.
Skived heat sink
Skived heat sink is produced by a skiving machine that slicing the mateial into thin fins. The fin thickness can be as thin as 0.07mm, at the same time it offers excellent thermal properties. Take a look of this viedo, you will have a deeper impression.
Die cast heat sink

Die casting heatsink is produced by the die-casting process. The main feature is that the production efficiency of die-casting is high, suitable for mass production, and has good heat dissipation effect and low cost. At present, most of the radiators and cooling modules in the industry are mainly aluminum.

Pin Fin Heat Sink
Pin fin heat sink is generally made by copper or aluminum. It is produced by cold forging technology. So pin fin heatsink is also called cold forging heatsink. The price of cold forging die is not high, which can effectively control the cost. One-time molding, the heat dissipation performance is consistent with the heat dissipation performance of the material, and the later processing procedures are few and simple.
Each type of heat sink has its benefits, choose the one that most suitable for you not only can achieve the best heat dissipation effect but also save your cost.
