Flow into Aluminum Heatsinks
This video shows how metal flows into a die casting mold to make die casting heat sink parts:
Heat Sink parts or Aluminum Heat Sinks expels heat from parts and components in electronic applications. Aluminum die cast heat sinks are designed in a way that needs less machining than other manufacturing processes. The cooling fins can be manufactured at the same time as the mounting holes. Heat sink parts are made with all features necessary for cooling electronic components and to mount the heat sinks on the printed circuit board (PC board). Aluminum heat sinks have a high dimensional stability. Heat sink production begins as soon as the die casting tooling is produced. Aluminum heat sinks are produced at the rate of 250 heat sink parts per day to 2,500 heat sink parts per day. Heat sinks look good as raw parts or can be anodized or powder coated.
Kinetic Die Casting Company makes heat sinks for several applications. Aluminum Heat Sinks remove heat from parts and components in electronic applications.

Aluminum is one of the most abundant “metallic” materials on earth. Aluminum is also one of the most electrically conductive materials. Because aluminum is electrically conductive, it is a natural shield for radio frequency waves.
Aluminum Heat Sink Die Casting
Kinetic Die Casting Company produces many types of aluminum die casting parts. Many times, an aluminum housing or enclosure was made from aluminum because of the natural electrical conductivity of aluminum.
The picture at the top of this newsletter is an electronic enclosure that was die cast in A413 aluminum because of its electronic EMI/RF properties. Perhaps, you should consider aluminum if you are thinking of designing a new electronic enclosure.
Kinetic Die Casting manufactures aluminum die castings creating aluminum die casting boxes, aluminum handle hardware, and aerospace die casting. If you would like to get a quote, please visit our website: Kinetic Die Casting Company

Compare Extruded Aluminum Heat Sinks to Die Castings
Aluminum is the preferred material used to produce heat sinks because of aluminum’s thermal conductive properties, the weight of the many aluminum alloys and, the natural electrical conductivity of aluminum.
EXTRUSIONS AS HEAT SINKS:
Initially, heat sinks were produced as extrusions. The extrusion process is to heat aluminum to a point just before melting temperature and then “squeeze” or extrude the aluminum through a form creating long aluminum sections that will need to be cut into the proper part lengths. Then the part is machined for mounting holes and other features. There is wasted aluminum because the material cut away cannot be used in the extrusion process again. Also, many times the lengths have left over amounts that are too short to be used to make parts.
DIE CASTINGS AS HEAT SINKS:
In the die casting process, we inject aluminum into a die forming the heat sink. As a die casting part, the mounting holes and special features can be die cast into a “net shape” part. There is not wasted aluminum in the die casting process because the excess aluminum is remelted and used to form additional parts. Also in the die casting process, there are no “left over” sections.
ADVANTAGES OF DIE CASTING HEAT SINKS:
1. Machining holes and features is not necessary saving money in the production process.
2. Time is saved in manufacturing because machining is not necessary.
3. No wasted aluminum.

Aluminum Heat Sinks and What They Do
Aluminum heat sinks expels heat from parts and components in electronic applications. Aluminum die cast heatsinks are designed in a way that needs less machining than other manufacturing processes.

Aluminum Heat Sinks
Heat dissipation is the job aluminum heat sinks perform. Heatsinks are normally used in locations where heat needs to be dissipated such as in hydraulics and more typically in electronics applications. In hydraulic applications, heatsinks use air cooling or water cooling to help in extracting the heat from the protected device. In electronic applications, heatsinks are more commonly expected to work using air-flow to extract heat.
Aluminum heatsinks are commonly made using aluminum die casting. Aluminum die cast heat sinks are manufactured near net shape, meaning these heat sink parts need very little additional machining to use in the desired application. These aluminum heatsinks can be produced at the rate of thousands each day. In many cases, these heat sinks can be put om and used without any additional finish such as powder coat or anodize.
Some heatsinks have been used in computers to expel heat from the electronic circuitry, this lengthens the life of the motherboard. One of the early applications of a heat sink was the aluminum covering on the television picture tube to extend the life of the picture tube. Now, aluminum heatsinks are designed in most electronic applications to protect the devices from the heat that is naturally generated when electricity interacts with electronic circuits. Many times these heatsinks are incorporated in the enclosure or housing that holds and protects the electronic circuits. This would take advantage of incorporating two devices into one, thus saving money doing so.
When fluids are placed under intense pressure, heat is produced. Heatsinks are used to prevent damage to the bearings or other moving parts in the hydraulic device.
