In radiator manufacturing, aluminum alloy is one of the key materials widely used in lightweight, high-performance heat dissipation components. It has the characteristics of low density, high thermal conductivity, good ductility and high strength. The manufacturing technology of aluminum alloy radiators includes extrusion, stamping, milling, shoveling, die casting, stir friction welding, brazing and other methods. Among them, extrusion and die casting are often used to manufacture sunflower aluminum profile radiators.
The equipment cost of aluminum extrusion technology is relatively low, but the thickness and length ratio of its fins are limited, and it is difficult to increase the cooling area. Aluminum die-casting technology can meet the needs of complex shapes, but the increase in the volume of the radiator will bring installation problems, and the effective cooling area of ​​the radiator is also limited.

Due to the continuous increase in equipment power consumption, the demand for new lightweight materials and high-efficiency heat exchange efficiency is increasing. 3D printing technology can mass-produce aluminum alloy parts, and because aluminum alloy has good thermal conductivity and light weight, it is widely used in the manufacture of radiators.
