Die Casting Heat Sink


Die casting heat sink is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is poured or forced into steel molds. The molds—also known as tools or dies—are created using steel and are specially designed for each heat sink. This allows each heat sink to be created with accuracy and repeatability. Aluminum, zinc, and magnesium are the most commonly used die casting alloys.

 

Die casting heat sink advantages

  ● Manufacture of heat sink using die casting is relatively simple, involving only four main steps, which keeps the incremental cost per item low.

  ● It is especially suited for a large quantity of small- to medium-sized heat sink.

  ● Die castings heat sinks are characterized by a very good surface finish and dimensional consistency.

 

Other benefits include:

  ● Variable wall thicknesses

  ● Tighter tolerances

  ● Fewer steps from raw material to finished part

  ● Fast production cycle times

  ● Reduction in material scrap
