Difference Between Aluminum Profile Heatsink and Aluminum Alloy Heatsink

Difference between aluminum profile heatsink and aluminum alloy heatsink

Advantages of aluminum alloy: Aluminum alloy is light and beautiful, has good thermal conductivity and is easy to process into complex shapes, and is widely used in heat dissipation equipment.

Types of aluminum profile radiators:

1) Flat and wide;

2) Comb shape;

3) Fishbone shape;

4) Others: Circular or elliptical, the outer radiator fins are radial and branch-shaped.

Features of aluminum profile radiators:

The distance between the radiators is short, and a groove is formed between two adjacent radiators, with a large depth-to-width ratio; the wall thickness difference is large. Generally, the radiator fins are thin, and the base of the root is large.

Aluminum profile radiators have some types - some products with smaller sizes and symmetrical shapes are easier to produce, most radiator profiles are flat, with larger external dimensions, and some are asymmetrical. The depth-to-width ratio of the grooves between the radiators is large, and the production is more difficult. It is necessary to cooperate in the ingot casting and mold extrusion processes to successfully produce aluminum profile radiators.

What are the requirements for aluminum alloy used in aluminum alloy radiators?

The alloy used for extruded radiator profiles must have good extrudability and thermal conductivity. At present, 6061 aluminum alloy and 6063 aluminum alloy are commonly used, and 6063 alloy is more common, because it has good extrudability and thermal conductivity, as well as good mechanical properties.

Is the heat dissipation performance of aluminum alloy good?

Aluminum alloy radiators have good oxidation and corrosion resistance and good environmental adaptability; they have a long service life and are relatively inexpensive. The most important thing is that they have very good heat dissipation effect during use.

Aluminum alloy radiators are widely used in mechanical vehicle batteries, wind power generation, engineering machinery, air compressors, railway locomotives, household appliances and other industries due to their superior performance.

Aluminum profile radiator production requirements:

The production of aluminum profile radiators should start from the quality of ingots, the material and design of molds, reducing extrusion force and extrusion process. In addition to the above factors, extrusion technology is also related to the capacity and level of the extruder, the degree of automation of the rear equipment, and the operating skills of people. Different aluminum profile radiator sections should adopt corresponding extrusion process according to specific circumstances.
