What is Extruded Heat Sink
Extruded heat sinks are manufactured through an extrusion process. The general steps involve heating the material, such as an aluminum billet, to a specific temperature and achieving a soft or highly ductile state. The material is then forced into a die, where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. Once set, it can undergo a series of subsequent operations such as grooving, punching, and cutting.
GALLOP INNOTEK operates a specialized factory for the production of extruded heat sinks. If you are seeking a reliable manufacturer to support your project, please don’t hesitate to contact us at your convenience.
What are the Advantages of Using an Extruded Heat Sink?
Enhance Equipment Heat Dissipation Performance: The copper or aluminum materials used in extruded heat sinks possess excellent thermal conductivity, enabling more efficient cooling and heat dissipation for equipment.
Extend Equipment Service Life: As high temperatures can damage your equipment and decrease its service life, it is very important to install a heat sink that can effectively dissipate the heat. At the same time, you can also avoid the financial losses caused by frequent equipment replacements.
Can Be Customized: Since the products we mentioned are manufactured through an extrusion process, their shape and size designs offer considerable flexibility.
If you have any ideas for customization, like adjusting the density or spacing of the fins, please feel free to contact GALLOP INNOTEK to discuss your requirements.

How does an Extruded Heat Sink Work?
When heat from the CPU is conducted from the top cover through thermal pads or thermal grease to the base of the heat sink, it reaches the fins of the heat sink to dissipate. Typically, computer circuit boards also incorporate fans to enhance airflow and accelerate heat dissipation.
What are the Types Divided by the Materials They Use?
Extruded Copper Heat Sink
A copper heat sink has superior thermal conductivity, approximately 60% higher than aluminum. However, it is heavier and more expensive compared to aluminum.
Extruded Aluminum Heat Sink
Aluminum offers greater flexibility in extrusion radiators. Compared to copper, aluminum is lighter and more cost-effective, making it suitable for a wider range of applications. It can be used for heat dissipation in components such as motherboards, graphics cards, and power supplies. Furthermore, when applied to computer motherboards, it does not require additional cooling via fans. This not only simplifies the device’s cooling system but also effectively reduces the noise generated by fans.
How to choose your needed Extruded Heat Sink?
When selecting the products you need, consider several essential factors to ensure you choose the most suitable option.
Know about the Operating Temperature Range of the Equipment
Generally, manufacturers provide the necessary product specifications. You can select suitable materials and products based on your specific temperature requirements for your application.
Determine the Usable Space
Similarly, you should perform a rough calculation of the heat sink’s application area to determine the appropriate shape and size.
Choose a Reliable Manufacturer
Ensure the products you purchase come from reputable and well-established manufacturers—this is the first step in guaranteeing product quality. As an experienced producer, GALLOP INNOTEK aspires to be your reliable partner.
Extruded heat sinks are used in numerous everyday products. For instance, consumer electronics like mobile phones and computers require aluminum extruded heat sinks for thermal conduction, including memory cards, batteries, and other components. LED Lighting systems, communication equipment, and the automotive industry also rely on extruded heat sinks for heat dissipation and cooling to maintain normal performance and ensure proper equipment operation.
The manufacturing process for extruded aluminum heat sinks has its limitations. In practical applications, products made through this method typically cannot achieve very large dimensions. Their monolithic structure also restricts the potential for superior thermal conductivity, making them unsuitable for high-power equipment.
As mentioned earlier, you can customize your product based on specific requirements. This includes not only fin density and spacing but also modifications to the radiator profile, surface smoothness, and the addition of extra features. Whatever you need, GALLOP INNOTEK welcomes your inquiries.
