How a Heat Sink Made of Aluminum Plate

Date:2024-07-31 

Aluminum plate is a material with good thermal conductivity and is economical. It is often used to make computer cpu heat sink. Let's take a look, how is an aluminum plate turned into a computer heat sink?
Aluminum coils are unloaded and unfolded by the material rack.Then they are leveled by the straightening machine to remove internal stress. Then they are fed into the punch press by the feeder. There is a heat sink stamping continuous die on the punch press.

It first punches, forms, finishes, and trims the aluminum plate into a fin shape. Then multiple pieces are automatically stacked in the mold to form a computer heat sink.
Only one person is needed to operate the equipment during this entire process. Each punch press can produce thousands of computer radiators per shift.
At the same time, different computer heat sinks can be produced by changing different molds
Stable, reliable, and highly automated. And this is the common process for mass production of computer heat sinks.
Heat sinks use a thermal conductor to move the heat into fins, which have larger surface areas and thus disperse heat throughout the computer.In computers, heat sinks are used to cool CPUs, GPUs, and some chipsets and RAM modules.
