Tuling Skived Fin Heat Sink
Tuling skived fin heat sinks are made of high grade copper or aluminum metals. The heat can degrade the sink quality due to corrosion. Hence, we offer anodization, anti-oxidant, and nickel-plating options for the heat sinks to increase their durability. With our special machines we can produce ultra-thin skived fins of 0.008’’ to 0.020”.
Features of Tuling Skived Fin Heat Sink
Tooling cost for skived fin heat sinks is lower.
We re-use the scraps from skived fin heat sinks.
Tuling skived fin heat sink is reliable and of high quality.
Our skived fin heat sinks offer efficient cooling solutions.
Tuling Skived Fin Heat Sink Manufacturing Process
Skiving is a fabrication process entirely different from extrusion or forging. At Tuling, we have a dedicated skiving machine with blades that can shave thin metal layers from solid metals to form fins. The machine is capable of creating slightly curved fins as required in the heat sinks.
Tuling Skived Fin Heat Sink Dimensions
Our engineers can design skived fin heat sinks with customizable sizes and shapes. The common dimensions of a skived heat sink are,
- 60 mm x 60 mm
- 80 mm x 80 mm
- 100 mm x 100 mm
- 120 mm x 120 mm
- 140 mm x 140 mm
- 160 mm x 160 mm
We also optimize the rib distances according to the heatsink dimensions. For instance, the ideal rib distance for small heat sinks is 0.3 mm. The large skived heat sinks can have rib of up to 900 mm width and over 120 mm height.
Advantages of Ordering Skived Fin Heat Sink from Tuling
In a folded or stamped heat sink, we attach the fins to the base with soldering, this introduces an unwanted thermal resistance to the heat sink. But with skived heat sinks, you get no thermal resistance at the transition due to the specialized machining. In addition, the high aspect ratio with thin fins encourages an optimum airflow.
Applications of Tuling Skived Fin Heat Sink
We can customize our skived fin heat sinks according to your desired application in a specific industry. To this day, we have served industries, e.g.,
- Consumer electronics
- Power electronics
- Automotive electronics
- Telecommunications equipment
- LED lighting
- Medical devices, etc.
Tuling Heat Sink Manufacturing Services
At Tuling, you receive multiple fabrication services under one roof, including die casting, extrusion, machining, forging, skiving, etc. We also offer rapid prototyping of customized designs. You can request for additional features to the skived heat sinks.
It is possible to increase the cooling effect of skived heat sinks by attaching fans to the device. You can also add liquid tubes to the base design to increase the thermal dissipation.
The extruded heat sinks are mostly made of aluminum. Skived fin heat sinks can be made of both aluminum and copper. On top of that, with skiving, you can eliminate the unwanted thermal resistance and control the fin thickness. Hence, skived fin heat sinks are a good alternative to the extruded heat sinks.
