Bonded Fin Cold Plates Custom

Winshare Thermal Alloy: Provides efficient and reliable liquid cooling solutions for high heat flux density applications.

What Is Bonded/Brazed Fin Cold Plate?

Bonded/brazed fin cold plates are advanced liquid-cooled radiators designed to solve the problem of high power, high heat flux density heat dissipation. It is unique in that it uses a pre-stamped, high-density fin array to be positioned through a runner groove on a precision-machined base plate, and advanced bonding or vacuum brazing technology to securely bond the fins to the base plate.

This structure uses fins to create a large internal heat transfer surface area within the runner, which is 3 to 5 times larger than that of a conventional drilled cold plate. When coolant flows through these dense fins, it produces a significant turbulence effect, effectively breaking the boundary layer and greatly improving the heat transfer coefficient. Finally, the entire structure is encapsulated by a sealed cover to ensure that the runner is intact and leak-free.

Core processes and advantages:

Brazing: In a high-temperature vacuum environment, the metallurgical bonding of the fins and the base plate is achieved by filling the brazing material, with high connection strength and extremely low thermal resistance. Epoxy Bonding: Bonding with epoxy resin with high thermal conductivity is a simple process and low cost, suitable for applications with relatively loose thermal resistance requirements. Structural advantages: The combination of fins and bottom plates realizes the perfect integration of fluid convection heat transfer and solid conduction heat transfer, and the heat dissipation performance far exceeds that of a single process cold plate.

The Core Benefits of Winshare Bonded Fin Cold Plates

The manufacture of precision-drilled cold plates places high demands on material uniformity and machinability. Winshare Thermal Alloy is capable of performing precision deep hole drilling on a variety of high-performance metals to meet the most demanding heat dissipation requirements:

Superior heat dissipation and high heat flux density support

Through precision-engineered fin geometries and high-density runners, our cold plates provide a large internal heat transfer surface area and significantly increase the heat transfer coefficient. This enables our products to effectively handle high heat loads up to 1500W and above, as well as high heat flux density challenges of more than 200W per square centimeter.

Excellent cost-effectiveness and mass production advantages

Compared to processes such as deep hole drilling or friction stir welding (FSW), bonded fin cold plates have a more mature and cost-controlled production process. It offers near-top performance while effectively reducing overall manufacturing costs, making it ideal for medium to high-volume production needs, offering the perfect combination of performance and affordability.

Highly flexible and customized design

Our team of engineers can flexibly customize the type of fins (e.g., straight, folded, or staggered), the height and spacing of the fins, and the runner layout according to your specific needs. This allows the cold plate to perfectly match different heat source shapes, power distributions, and system flow resistance requirements.

Superior structural reliability and durability

Our vacuum brazing process creates a strong metallurgical bond that ensures a strong connection between the fins and the base plate with very low thermal resistance. With strict testing processes, the product has excellent vibration resistance and high pressure resistance, providing long-term stable reliability guarantee.

Support large size and special-shaped customization

Unlike extruded cold plates with limited mold size, the bonding cold plate process can easily manufacture larger cold plates to meet the heat dissipation needs of large heat sources (such as server blades, high-power IGBT modules), providing great design freedom.

Diverse material combinations and surface treatments

We can combine different materials according to specific application needs, such as copper fins with better thermal conductivity and lightweight aluminum baseplates. At the same time, various surface treatments such as nickel plating and anodizing are available to enhance corrosion resistance.

Bonded Fin Cold Plate Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q What is the difference between bonded fin cold plate and deep hole drilled cold plate?

A Deep hole drilling cold plate runners are smooth, mainly relying on fluid convection heat transfer, but cannot increase the internal surface area. Bonded fin cold plates greatly increase the heat transfer surface area with high-density fins, providing better thermal performance in most cases. At the same time, the runner design of the bonded cold plate is more flexible and the cost is more advantageous.
Q Is the bonding strength of the fins to the base plate reliable?

A Our bonding technology is very reliable. Our vacuum brazing process creates metallurgical grade bonds with extremely high strength and durability. Combined with rigorous bond strength tensile testing and high-pressure testing, our products are built to withstand long-term demanding applications.
Q What is the production cycle of Bonded Fin Cold Plate?

A The production cycle depends on the specific design complexity, material availability, and order volume. We have an efficient production management process, usually 2-4 weeks for sample production and 4-8 weeks for mass production. It is recommended that you provide detailed design drawings, and we will provide you with an accurate delivery estimate.
Q Can you provide design consulting and simulation services?

A Yes, we offer a full range of services, from design concept to finished product delivery.
