Forming & Processing

In the heat sink industry, various techniques are used to shape alloyed metals into the desired form and maximize their thermal properties. These include processes such as stamping, bending, and milling, which allow heat sinks to be precisely adjusted and optimized. The goal is to ensure high thermal conductivity while maintaining mechanical stability.

Requirements for Forming and Processing Techniques

Both bending and machining require careful selection and consideration of material properties to achieve the desired results and ensure the quality of the final products. Surface quality, temperature resistance, and material hardness are fundamentally important to optimally tailor the individual products to the specific applications.

Forming processes with bending and pressing tools

Tube Bending

Tube bending is a crucial value-added step in the production of liquid coolers, where tubes made of copper, aluminum, or stainless steel are precisely bent to create complex cooling structures. The temperature, bending radii, and material strength must be optimally adjusted to ensure deformation without cracking.
