This article introduces the paper “High Density Die Casting (HDDC): New Frontiers in the Manufacturing of Heat Sinks”. – Core Research Objective: To develop a High Density Die Casting (HDDC) process to overcome the limitations of conventional die casting and extrusion methods for manufacturing high-performance heat sinks for electronic systems requiring efficient thermal management. – Methodology: Development
G.CampatelliA.Scippa Abstract In High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC), geometrical distortions usually happen during the cooling phase, due to the reduced cooling time and the high thermal gradient inside the product itself. This phenomenon affects most the thin walled products. The usual die design practice considers only the linear shrinking of the product during the cooling as a consequence of
