Getec Industrial presents a tip sheet for selecting aluminum alloys for extruded aluminum heat sink manufacturing

Torrance, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/06/2018 -- With seven grades of aluminum on the market and countless varying alloys, choosing a material for custom heat sinks can be a daunting task. Here are summaries of three common aluminum heat sink materials:

Aluminum Alloy 1050

Aluminum alloy 1050 is the most common choices for aluminum extrusion heat sink turnkey services. The 1xxx series of aluminum alloys is the purest grade, containing at least 99 percent aluminum or higher. 1xxx aluminum alloys tend to have high thermal and electric conductivity and are highly resistant to corrosion. Aluminum alloy 1050 makes some of the most efficient heat sinks on the market due to its thermal conductivity of 222 W/mK. One downside of grade 1050 is its strength. Though highly workable, the alloy has a tensile strength of only 105 to 145 MPa and a hardness rating of only 34 HB.

Aluminum Alloys 6060 and 6063

Aluminum alloys 6060 and 6063 are also popular among extruded aluminum heatsink manufacturers due to their balance of strength, formability, and thermal conductivity. With thermal conductivity values of 166 W/mK for alloy 6060 and 201 W/mK for alloy 6063, these alloys make respectable options for efficient heat transfer. Though they are less conductive than aluminum 1050, aluminum 6060 and 6063 do have higher tensile strength: up to 180 MPa and 190 MPa, respectively.

Aluminum Alloy 6061

Aluminum alloy 6061 is an all-purpose alloy that is often used in thermal management solutions. Aluminum 6061 has a wide range of applications due to its corrosion resistance, tensile strength, and workability. With a tensile strength of 110 to 310 MPa and a thermal conductivity of 151–202 W/(mK), aluminum 6061 is another balanced option for turnkey manufacturing for heatsink services.

Getec Industrial provides tips to consider when evaluating aluminum extrusion design

Torrance, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2017 -- Design considerations are a critical component for some of the most common thermal management solutions, such as using aluminum extrusion for the design. Here are four crucial design considerations when using aluminum extrusion for projects.

Wall Thickness

Aluminum extrusion companies must balance material costs with structural strength. Manufacturers can vary wall thickness to address these concerns for certain extrusions. But a profile with uniform wall thickness is easier to extrude and is more likely to hold the correct dimensions throughout the extrusion and cooling process. Avoid adjacent wall thickness ratios of 2:1 or greater to keep the extrusion design stable. When two walls of different thicknesses intersect, use rounded corners instead of sharp angles.

Weight per Foot

Weight per foot has a significant effect on cost efficiency of the profile. Weight and weight per foot determine the equipment necessary to extrude a profile, which determines overall production costs. Production costs and capabilities vary with each extruded aluminum heatsink manufacturer, so be sure to discuss weight per foot with each aluminum extrusion design services company you work with.

Sharp Corners

Sharp corners and tips are especially difficult to produce through extrusion, so aluminum extrusion design should incorporate rounded corners with a radius of at least .5 mm. Use hollow moldings in extrusions with sharp internal angles to soften the design.

Deep Channels

Deep channels can compromise the stability of extruded profiles. As a general rule, keep the width-to-height ratio around 1:3 to keep the profile stable. Alternately, increase the radii at the opening of the channel and use a full radius at the bottom to create a stable profile with a 1:4 width-to-height ratio.

Getec Industrial Describes the Differences Between Aluminum Die Casting and Sand Casting

Torrance, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/22/2017 -- Aluminum die casting and sand casting are both common methods for producing aluminum parts. But what is the difference between these two methods, and which is better?

Sand casting is the simplest and most popular type of casting. Sand castings can be made from a wide variety of metals. The most popular are aluminum, grey iron, ductile iron, steel, and magnesium. The process begins with a mold in the shape of the desired part, which is put in the core box. The core box is then filled with sand and some sort of bonding agent, usually clay, and packed down to hold the shape of the mold. Then the sand is removed from the core box, leaving a cavity in the shape of the mold, and filled with molten metal to create the desired part.

Sand casting requires up to five minutes of downtime between pours while the mold and sand are prepared. Sand casting is therefore best suited to making a small number of parts. Sand casting is also a less precise process, making it a better choice for parts requiring less precision.

Die castings are usually made of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, zinc, copper, magnesium, lead, or tin. Die casting molds, usually made of hardened steel, are created by using high pressure to force molten metal into the desired shape. Metal is then poured into the mold to create the part. After the part is created, the die casting mold can be closed and reused.

Although die casting is a more expensive process than sand casting up front, these molds can be reused, which makes them more cost efficient for high volume production. Die casting is also useful for highly detailed parts that require precise replication. Seeking out good custom aluminum die casting companies is an essential step when selecting high-quality die castings to cut down on casting cost, improve the casting's precision, and save you time.

Lists three qualities that an extruded aluminum heatsink manufacturer should have.

Torrance, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/24/2017 -- There is a lot of information available on the heat sink manufacturing and many companies that offer extruded aluminum heat sink manufacturing services. But what should you look for?

Custom Solutions

The company should have the ability to design and manufacture thermal management solutions that meets your specific requirements and needs. As a custom aluminum extrusion company, Getec has the tools, equipment, process and years of experience necessary to assure that the aluminum extrusion design for your heat sinks match your exact performance requirements.

Ability to Handle High Aspect Ratio Aluminum Extrusions

Most aluminum heat sink suppliers are satisfied by providing products with a less than 6:1 aspect ratio, many times there is a need for high aspect ratio extrusions, up to 20:1 or even 30:1. Getec specializes in this type of thermal management solution.

Flexibility of Design

A good extruded aluminum heatsink manufacturer has the technology and expertise to determine which type of design will work best with your thermal management needs. Whether this involves the use of special cutting and shaving tools to produce a skived fin from a single block of aluminum, or the use of precision forging to form high-precision heat sinks, a flexibility in aluminum extrusion design is essential to assure that your heat sinks perform the way as you expect.

Getec Industrial, manufacturers of heatsinks, shares tips and an overview on how to select a heat sink.

Torrance, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/01/2016 -- Getec Industrial, manufacturers of heat sinks, extruded aluminum, and drawn tube, provides an overview of how to select a heat sink. The problem is that every device builds up heat as waste energy during operation, energy that lowers the operating efficiency and can damage the device. Designers employ a heat sink to conduct heat away from a hot surface, distributing it across a broader area and dissipating the energy into another medium, usually air. This maintains the device temperature at the operating levels prescribed by the designer and manufacturer. Here's what's required to select a heat sink.

1. Required Heat Sink Thermal Resistance

Designers must determine the required heat sink thermal resistance before approaching a custom heat sink company for manufacture. The thermal budget of the device determines the maximum amount of heat the device can tolerate and still function.

The heat sink must accommodate a variety of external conditions during operation and still perform within the desired parameters. Because external conditions are difficult to control there is no such thing as standard value of thermal resistance for heat sink manufacturing.

Airflow within the environment must be classified as natural, low flow mixed, or high flow forced convection. The absence of externally induced air flows and heat transfer means the device operates on natural convection.

Devices using forced convection employ a blower to mechanically move air across the convection surface. A mixed system employs a combination of forced and natural air flow across a spectrum of flow velocity. Airflow is the most easily controllable element of the external environment and a primary determinant of heat sink volume.

2. Require Heat Sink Volume

Airflow and heat sink volume work together to drive the performance of the heat sink, dissipating energy away from the device in direct proportion to the size of the heat sink. Greater energy dissipation occurs when moving air across a broader heat sink width. Heat sink manufacturers prefer to increase the width of a heat sink rather than the length of the sink so that airflow and energy dissipation become more efficient.

Radiant heat transfer can be responsible for up to 25% of total heat dissipation in natural airflow systems. Heat sink surfaces should always be painted or anodized to enhance the radiation. Components that face a hotter external surface will radiate energy less efficiently as the two surfaces compete for the available air.

Aluminum provides unique advantages in extrusion over other metals. Getec Industrial, a thermal management solutions company, provides the details on how aluminum is the best choice.

Torrance, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/30/2015 -- The properties of aluminum provides a designer with several advantages. In aluminum extrusions, the fabrication process is an economical way to extrude parts for many different industries.

1. Saving money is one of the main reasons clients choose aluminum for extrusions over other metals. Fabricating shapes by welding costs are more than aluminum extrusions because each part is welded individually. Compared to using a custom aluminum extrusion company, roll forming, mold casting, and welding costs are higher.

When using aluminum extrusion, a die is inexpensive and only costs a set amount for a specific shape. These shapes can be used over and over again. Certain shapes clients use more often are kept in stock and used across many industries.

2. Aluminum forms extruded shapes easily. The metal is melted and squeezed through a die to form the shape.

3. Speeds are high when machined and can reach up to 600 to 700 surfaces per minute.

4. The weight of aluminum is light, which allows it to be used in certain applications where weight is an issue. It's weight is one-third that of copper, brass, and steel.

5. The property of aluminum is corrosion resistant. It has a thin film that self protects it from corrosion.

6. Aluminum has high conductivity for electricity. It carries two times the current as copper.

7. For thermal management solutions, aluminum conducts and reflects heat. It is widely used in heat transfer applications and used as a heat shield when it's needed to reflect light.

As a thermal management solutions company, Getec provides pure aluminum billet casting for all services. The ratio of pure aluminum ingot materials is higher than companies who use scrap aluminum.

"We have a high standard for excellence and take our product performance seriously," said Senior VP and COO, Hart Cardozo, III.

Redondo Beach, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/25/2015 -- Getec is a thermal management solutions company that discusses the top processes to look at when deciding on a turnkey aluminum extrusion manufacturer.

Aluminum extrusion is used in a variety of industries to create objects from aluminum allow. Aluminum is used to provide strength and stability while contributing lightweight physical characteristics. When clients need aluminum extrusions, they want a company that provides high quality, low costs, and fast turnaround. With the many companies available to choose from, these tips help in choosing the best processes and manufacturing results.

1.All processes are conducted in-house.

When companies have to send parts of the manufacturing process out to a third party company, it slows down the turnaround time, increases costs, and could possibly produce less than desirable quality. As a thermal management solutions company, they control all aspects of the aluminum extrusions to provide a turnkey solution. Getec even casts their own aluminum billet in an onsite department. The billet is produced from pure aluminum ingot instead of scrap like many of their competitors use.

As a standard aluminum extrusions company, Getec offers a turnkey solution that meets or exceeds their customer's requirements. Getec focuses on a commitment to practical, cost effective solutions for their clients. Controlling all of the processes allows them to stay in compliance of their character and business ethics.

2.Focus on cost savings.

While Getec mostly focuses on manufacturing, they also have experience and solutions that provide ideas for cost savings. They know how to streamline the process for high performance solutions. As a custom aluminum extrusion manufacturer, Getec takes price in faster lead times than their competitors and in being a complete turnkey solution for clients.

3.Using pure aluminum ingot for products.

Many competitors use scraps in the aluminum mix for billet products. The manufactured product is less than superior in terms of quality. Getec only uses pure aluminum ingot in production of billet and in their thermal management solutions. The result is a higher quality product that reduces defects and money loss. In fact, the opposite is true. By having aluminum extrusions produced under one roof, the production costs are reduced.

4.Adding value with machining.

Products produced at Getec receive value added machining. As a standard aluminum extrusions company, they also plate, stamp, die cast, finish metal, and package the products. They continually seek ways to improve processes to meet and exceed customer requirements.

5.Strong commitment to quality control.

Quality control ensures Getec manufactures items of the highest quality. With state of the art machinery, Getec monitors quality with updates, calibrations, and continuous activity monitoring processes.

These are only a few of the top processes Getec uses to provide aluminum extrusions. For more information, visit http://www.Getecna.com

Getec Industrial provides a tip sheet on what to look for to choose aluminum for extrusion profiles over other metals.

Torrance, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/03/2014 -- Getec Industrial promotes the use of aluminum for extrusion profiles. Deciding between the best metal solutions for any project may be confusing. Traditional metal working solutions call for either aluminum, rolled steel, or copper extrusions.

Aluminum, rolled steel and copper each have equal pros and cons. Getec Industrial, http://www.getecna.com/about.php, aluminum extrusions profiles company professionals, say aluminum extrusions out perform other metals and saves money.

Here's a few tips to keep in mind on how aluminum is the best choice:

1. Take strength and endurance, for example. Rolled steel is stronger and has high mechanical properties. However, the material's weight makes it rather difficult to use and maneuver. Copper doesn't even make it to the competition, as it is weak and has little mechanical use.

However, custom aluminum extrusion manufacturers, http://www.getecna.com/aluminium-extrusion.php, at Getec say raw aluminum is lightweight. It proves just as strong and durable as rolled steel.

2. Aluminum also proves itself in other arenas. One area includes thermal and electrical conduction and corrosive resistance. Rolled steel does not conduct heat or electricity well, and copper is just as conductive as aluminum.

In fact, this is one of the reasons thermal management solutions company, Getec, http://www.getecna.com/index.php, and clients prefer aluminum as the right solution. It's not just aluminum that makes the difference. Getec doesn't use scrap metal like many of its competitors. They use pure, raw aluminum extrusion to make the top of the line metal products.

Senior Vice President and COO, Hart N. Cardozo, III, said, "By controlling the raw material aspect of our business and casting only premium billet, Getec takes charge of the market's raw material element. Getec will now use only premium while our competition continues to use substandard billet or commercial grade. The outcome is a superior quality heat sink, which increases the thermal conductivity of our products, thus raising the bar."
