Aluminum heatsink experts tell you why most of the heatsinks are copper and aluminum

Generally air cooled heat sink can choose the material of metal as a heatsink, when we choose materials for heat sink, depending on the ratio of heat and high heat transfer coefficient to evaluate, the previous article we have introduced, silver and copper is one of the best thermal conductive materials, followed by gold and aluminum. But gold and silver are seldom applied in the production of the heatsink cost because they are too expensive, it can be seen that cost is the heatsink production are important factors to consider, the copper and aluminum cost is much lower, heat sinks are formed mainly by aluminum and copper.
