Application and Development of Water cooling Plate

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the weakening of dependence on traditional energy sources, new energy vehicles are gradually becoming a hot topic in the global automotive industry.Water cooling plates are an important component of the thermal management system of new energy vehicles and are usually used in load-bearing and corrosion-resistant environments.Therefore,when selecting the material for making the water-cooled plate, the strength and corrosion resistance of the material need to be considered.

Water cooling plate materials are an important factor in thermal management of automotive batteries through water cooling. In new energy vehicles, the battery is a key power reserve unit. Its long-term high energy consumption operation causes the battery temperature to rise, thus affecting its performance and life. In order to solve this problem, water-cooling systems are widely used in new energy vehicle battery systems, and water-cooling plate materials are a key component of the water-cooling system.

In recent years, the country has vigorously developed new energy vehicles and made certain progress in the research field of new materials. Automobile water-cooling plates generally use aluminum brazing composite materials, and the process mainly includes raw material stamping、cleaning、flux coating、riveting、brazing、testing、gluing and other processes. In order to ensure the stamping and stretching requirements of water-cooled plates, the materials used must have good tensile capabilities.

3003 aluminum plate has excellent performance and is currently a widely used automotive water-cooling plate material. As the country vigorously develops new energy vehicles, the demand for water-cooled plates will continue to rise, and the market demand for 3003 aluminum plates for brazing composite materials will also continue to rise.

What are the benefits of using 3003 aluminum plate for automobile water cooling plate?

1.Light weight： Aluminum alloy has low density and high strength,which is easy to process and form. It is currently an ideal lightweight material for automobiles.

2.Excellent corrosion resistance：3003 aluminum plate belongs to the aluminum manganese alloy series, which is also known as anti-rust aluminum plate. It still has good anti-rust ability in humid environment.

3.Good stamping and stretch： 3003-O aluminum plate is soft and highly plastic, which is easy to stamp and stretch.It is able to meet conventional processing requirements.

   The development and application of water-cooled plate materials are also affected by the manufacturing process. Currently, the main manufacturing processes used include pressure welding, adhesive welding and laser welding. Various manufacturing processes are continuously optimized and improved to improve the manufacturing efficiency and quality of water-cooling plate materials. At the same time, with the continuous emergence of new materials and new processes, manufacturing costs are gradually reducing, promoting the market application of water-cooled plate materials.

Nowadays, various electronic products, whether they are civilian or industrial products, are becoming more and more powerful and generate more heat. They also have higher requirements for the stability and service life of heat dissipation performance. Many high-power equipment use water-cooled plate radiators because of their high heat dissipation power and good performance.

Water-cooled plate radiators are widely used in high-power equipment such as SVG, APF, inverters, and IGBTs. Generally speaking, the primary material of the water-cooling plate is aluminum profiles. Copper tubes (copper-aluminum composite liquid cooling radiators) can also be added according to user requirements to meet various heat dissipation requirements.

The flow channel design structure of today's water-cooled plate radiators is becoming more and more sophisticated and complex. Coupled with the various requirements of the use environment, the requirements for the production, processing and welding processes of water-cooled plates have also increased.
