Extrusion heatsink is anothercommon heat sink manufacturing process wherein aluminum flows plastically undercompressive forces CNC machine extrusion into a variety of shapes. Complex 2Dprofiles can be extruded through a die orifice and is then cut into variouslengths.
This process does not produce internal porosity that can affectthermal conduction and therefore is capable of producing aluminum heat sinkswith higher thermal conductivity than die castings. Aluminum extrusions madefrom 6xxx alloys offer thermal conductivities in the 200-215 W/mK range.Aluminum extrusions are mostly used to create linear lighting systems for covelighting, under cabinet lighting, and other architectural lightinginstallations .
