Advantages and Disadvantages of Stainless Steel Heatsinks

Stainless steel heat sink is a new generation of heat sink product. It is made of stainless steel and has good corrosion resistance and strength.While it's true that stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance properties, when used in a heat exchanger it can have poor heat transfer characteristics. So, it's possible that by solving the corrosion problem using stainless, other system issues could result. advantage:
1. Stainless steel material has good corrosion resistance and can effectively resist the erosion of humid environment, high temperature, acid and alkali and other factors, extending the service life of the heat sink.
2. Stainless steel materials have high thermal conductivity, allowing stainless steel radiators to quickly conduct heat, accelerate the rise of room temperature, and improve heating efficiency.
3. Because it is made of stainless steel, this heat sink has high strength and hardness, is not easily deformed and damaged, and can withstand a certain amount of pressure and impact.
4. The stainless steel material has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and not easy to deform, which can ensure the service life of the radiator.
Disadvantages:
1. The manufacturing process of stainless steel heat sinks is relatively complex and the cost of raw materials is high, so the price is higher than heat sinks made of other materials.
2. There may be differences in thermal conductivity during use, resulting in uneven heating.
3. The weight of stainless steel radiators is relatively large, which brings certain difficulties to installation and maintenance.
4. Because the material is hard, it is prone to wear and tear during use, affecting its service life.
Stainless steel radiator is a common heat dissipation equipment with the characteristics of strong durability, good heat dissipation effect, strong adaptability, strong customizability, good corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, high heat dissipation efficiency and strong reliability. When choosing a radiator, you need to consider your actual needs and budget, and choose the appropriate radiator type and material according to the specific situation.Pioneer Thermal can design heatsink based on customer's requirement, then build heatsink prototype to production. Most LED heatsink are made by extrusion, cold forging and die cast process.
