Vacuum Rheocasting Heat Sinks with Significantly Improved Performance

1. Overview: 2. Research Background: The demand for heat sinks across various industries (e-mobility, telecommunications, electronics, etc.) is significantly increasing, along with stricter performance requirements. A primary requirement for heat sinks is high thermal conductivity. Pure aluminum exhibits excellent thermal conductivity (247 W/mK), but it’s challenging to cast and possesses low strength. Typical die-casting alloys
