Custom Liquid Cold Plates: Exploring Various Manufacturing Processes
Custom liquid cold plates are essential components in thermal management systems, serving to efficiently dissipate heat from electronic and power devices. These cold plates can be tailored to specific requirements using various manufacturing processes, including Brazing, Extrusion, Deep Drilling, FSW (Friction Stir Welding), and Copper Tube processes.

Brazing Process:

The Brazing process involves joining metal components using a filler material with a lower melting point. This creates a sealed chamber for the cooling fluid. Brazed liquid cold plates are known for their high thermal conductivity and durability, making them suitable for demanding applications.

Extrusion Process:

Extrusion involves forcing a metal billet through a die to create the desired cold plate shape. This process allows for complex geometric designs, making it ideal for custom solutions. Extruded liquid cold plates offer excellent performance and can be customized for specific cooling requirements.

Deep Drilling Process:

Deep drilling involves creating intricate cooling channels within the cold plate by drilling holes. This process enables precise control over coolant flow and is often used for applications where high turbulence and optimized thermal performance are essential.

FSW Process (Friction Stir Welding):

FSW is a solid-state welding process that results in strong and reliable joints. Liquid cold plates manufactured using FSW are known for their structural integrity and resistance to leakage, making them suitable for rugged environments.

Copper Tube Process:

The Copper Tube process involves integrating copper tubes into the cold plate design. These tubes enhance heat transfer efficiency and are ideal for applications requiring high heat dissipation.
