Forging, a rapid manufacturing process formed under high pressure and in room temperature, also names as “cold forging”. The workpiece is squeezed into a die until it is perfectly shaped.
The making of forging heat sink
Putting the alloy material into a die (1). Once the alloy is inserted into the die, the machine starts to compress the alloy with high pressure (2), following by a firm punch and completes by the die closure (3).
This spectacular process generates a three-dimensional heat sink, particularly the base. By far except for diecasting process, all other processes can only produce two-dimensional heat sinks such as extrusion and require a secondary process to achieve similar results.
