Key Takeaway

The aluminum heat sink uses 2.5 mm fin pitch and 0.4 mm stock in 6063-T5 aluminium, holding 0.05 mm flatness over 100 mm on the mounting face. Thermal resistance is 0.48 K/W, verified by CMM plus granite flatness plate per lot. Stamping delivers ±0.05 mm pitch across a 120,000 pcs run with a 25 s cycle on a 250 T press.

The aluminum heat sink combines 2.5 mm fin pitch with 0.4 mm stock in 6063-T5 aluminium, so 120 x 80 x 50 mm parts keep 0.05 mm over 100 mm on the mounting face. Thermal resistance is 0.48 K/W, measured at CMM plus granite flatness plate per lot.

Design Approach and Process

Stamping gives a repeatable 0.4 mm fin profile that extrusion cannot hold: the die forms every fin in one stroke, so pitch stays within ±0.05 mm across a 120,000 pcs run.

Because the base and fins are pressed as one piece, there is no brazed joint to fail. 0.05 mm over 100 mm flatness on the mounting face is held directly from the tool, which keeps thermal interface contact uniform.

A single 250 T stroke forms the whole aluminum heat sink, so part cost stops scaling with complexity. Tooling runs ±0.05 mm, and the 25 s cycle feeds a 120,000 pcs line.

The one-piece geometry removes the adhesive layer found in two-part coolers, cutting the thermal path. Nothing sits between 6063-T5 aluminium and the airflow except the stamped surface itself.

Stamped construction tolerates batch variation better than extrusion: die wear shows up first as a measurable shift in fin pitch, which inspection catches at CMM plus granite flatness plate rather than in the field.

Material Selection and Surface Finish

The standard material is 6063-T5 aluminium, supplied with black anodize Type II, 10-15 µm. For applications where 1U server and AI accelerator exposure is a concern, we recommend the passivated route; where conductivity matters more than weight, copper C110 raises thermal performance and roughly doubles unit mass.

Tolerance Classes You Can Specify

General dimensions run to ±0.15 mm, with critical features such as ±0.05 mm on base thickness held separately. Formed geometry inherits tooling repeatability of ±0.05 mm, and hole position is held to ±0.10 mm. Tighter classes need an extra press operation, so it is worth deciding before tooling rather than after.

Inspection Before Every Shipment

Flatness is checked on a granite surface plate, 20 °C against a 0.05 mm over 100 mm limit, and fin pitch is verified optically at ±0.05 mm. Reports go out with each lot.

Each batch carries a CMM report from CMM plus granite flatness plate. We record flatness, pitch, base thickness and hole position, and flag anything outside ±0.15 mm before it leaves the line.

Incoming 6063-T5 aluminium is checked for thickness and hardness before it enters the press. After forming, CMM plus granite flatness plate confirms 0.05 mm over 100 mm and 2.5 mm against the drawing.

Where This Part Is Used

Where a aluminum heat sink runs at 1U server and AI accelerator volumes, part-to-part consistency decides field returns. ±0.05 mm on a 120,000 pcs run keeps the thermal curve inside one band.

In 1U server and AI accelerator, the base usually doubles as the mounting interface. 1.0 mm with 0.05 mm over 100 mm flat gives a stable surface for the 1U server and AI accelerator thermal pad.

Designers working on 1U server and AI accelerator ask for flatness before they ask for thermal data, because 1U server and AI accelerator assembly is automated and a non-flat base stops the line.

Further technical detail: What Makes Valve Springs the Precision Engine Component Behind Performance?.

1U server and AI accelerator designs often run a 2.0 m/s forced-air path. 0.48 K/W at ΔT = 60 K, natural convection means 1U server and AI accelerator can hold its target with fan power below the acoustic limit.

FAQ: Your Questions Before Ordering

How do you verify quality on each batch?

Every lot is inspected with CMM plus granite flatness plate, and the report is included in the shipment. We check 0.05 mm over 100 mm, 2.5 mm, 1.0 mm and hole position against ±0.15 mm. Lot traceability from coil to carton is kept for 10 years.

Which materials do you recommend?

6063-T5 aluminium is the standard choice. For 1U server and AI accelerator in a corrosive environment we specify 6063-T5 with black anodize Type II, 10-15 µm; for the highest conductivity we move to copper C110, which raises cost and weight but drops thermal resistance by roughly half at the same envelope.

What tolerance can you hold?

General dimensions run to ±0.15 mm; critical ones such as ±0.05 mm on base thickness are held separately. Formed features inherit tooling repeatability of ±0.05 mm. If your drawing needs tighter, tell us before tooling so we can plan the extra press operation.

How long does tooling last before replacement?

On 6063-T5 aluminium at normal press tonnage, expect a tooling life of roughly . At 120,000 pcs that is 6 to 12 months. We keep spare die sets on site for 1U server and AI accelerator programs, which removes the wait if wear shows up in the flatness record.

Can you help with thermal simulation before sampling?

Yes. Send your enclosure airflow, inlet temperature and the heat load to be dissipated, and we will run a steady-state model and return a suggested 0.4 mm and 2.5 mm combination. That usually saves one tooling iteration.

How We Manufacture and Ship

Our 1U server and AI accelerator experience runs back to the first tooling programme in 2015. That history is why the standard black anodize Type II, 10-15 µm and ±0.15 mm are conservative rather than optimistic.

Tooling is built in-house, which is how ±0.05 mm is held across a 120,000 pcs programme rather than drifting part by part.

Production runs on 25 s cycles with in-line vision on 0.05 mm over 100 mm. That is what keeps a 120,000 pcs commitment credible in peak season.

Why choose stamped construction over extrusion for this heat sink?

Stamping gives a repeatable 0.4 mm fin profile that extrusion cannot hold. The one-piece base and fins eliminate brazed joints, and die wear shows first as a measurable fin pitch shift, which inspection catches at CMM plus granite flatness plate per lot.

What is the production capacity and cycle time?

A single 250 T stroke forms the whole aluminum heat sink in a 25 s cycle. Tooling runs ±0.05 mm, feeding a 120,000 pcs line. Part cost stops scaling with complexity because the one-piece geometry removes the adhesive layer found in two-part coolers.

Does the one-piece design affect thermal performance?

Yes. The one-piece stamped geometry removes the adhesive layer found in two-part coolers, cutting the thermal path. Nothing sits between 6063-T5 aluminium and the airflow except the stamped surface itself, supporting the 0.48 K/W thermal resistance.

How is batch variation controlled during production?

Stamped construction tolerates batch variation better than extrusion. Die wear shows up first as a measurable shift in fin pitch, which inspection catches at CMM plus granite flatness plate per lot. This maintains ±0.05 mm pitch across a 120,000 pcs run.
