The skived fins heat sink machine, also known as skiving technology

The skived fins heat sink machine, also known as skiving technology, simply takes an entire piece of aluminum or copper and use special skived machine to cut out fins with standard spacing and a certain thickness and height. Because of using high precision cutting technology, the integration of the forming, relative to other processing technology, the same volume of raw materials can be cut out more heat dissipation area, the heat transfer performance is more stable, in the same condition,the cooling performance is more than 1.5~2 times of the efficiency of traditional bonded fin or soldering heat sink, thus greatly improve heat dissipation efficiency and extend the service life of heating components.

Skived heat sinks can be constructed of aluminium or copper allowing for full, one-single-piece solutions without thermal barriers for high performance cooling.

Skived fins heat sink machine offer highly optimized cooling as they allow for higher fin densities than what is manufacturable using extrusion methodologies, but do not have an interface joint that restricts heat flow like bonded or brazed fin heat sinks. Unlike bonded or brazed heat sinks, Skived Fin Heat Sinks are constructed from a single piece of material and offer reduced thermal resistance since there is no joint between a base and fins. These heat sinks are manufactured by precisely slicing the top of the base, called skiving, folding it back to where it is perpendicular to the base, and repeating at regular intervals to create fins.

The skiving process enables high fin density and thin fin heat sink geometries for optimal thermal performance. By packing as much fin surface area into a given volume, skived fin heat sinks have greater heat transfer than other single piece construction heat sinks such as extruded aluminum skived fins heat sink machine. Compared to extruded aluminum, skived fin heat sink fabrication does not rely on expensive tooling, providing greater design flexibility and faster prototyping. Instead, each fin is cut separately using the same tool which allows for lower tooling costs.
