The advantages of Aluminum Heat Sinks Die Castings over steel. Heat sinks are found in most electronic gadgets and appliances. Although they do not serve a direct purpose for the user, they are actually fitted into the gadgets and appliances for safety reasons. Heat sinks are made to regulate the heat that is generated by electronic gadgets and appliances. As these gadgets and appliances operate, they produce heat from the electrical wiring and other parts. This heat is diverted from these functioning parts all the way to the heat sink. This way, the appliance or gadget does not overheat or malfunction.

By the nature of its purpose, heat sinks are the most abused part of any electronic device. As such, they have to be made from a material that can withstand all the abuse, such as aluminum. Aluminum may be malleable or pliable, but this characteristic does not take away toughness and durability from aluminum. In fact, it is said that in terms of durability, aluminum is actually at part with steel. In terms of weight, however, there is no doubt that aluminum beats still with only one third of its weight for the same size and shape. Its lightweight is another characteristic that makes aluminum ideal for making heat sinks. Finally, the fact that aluminum is more widely available as a raw material than steel is another reason why aluminum beats steel in meeting the demand for efficient heat sinks.
