Ever wondered how a solid block of aluminum becomes a high-performance heatsink?
In this video, we take you inside the factory to reveal the skiving process —a precision machining technique that forms ultra-thin cooling fins directly from a single piece of metal.
Skived heatsinks are made from one continuous block of aluminum. Sharp blades “shave” out evenly spaced fins with high thermal contact efficiency, maximizing heat dissipation for power electronics.
Skiving Process Highlights: - Material: 6063/6061 aluminum billet - Fins formed without welding or soldering - Blade-controlled cutting ensures fine pitch (down to 0.2mm) - High thermal conductivity and mechanical strength - Ideal for medium-to-high power thermal management
Common Applications: - Electric vehicle motor controllers - Power inverters / DC-DC converters - Industrial automation equipment - LED drivers, power supply enclosures
Filmed at an OEM aluminum processing factory in China, where we manufacture custom heatsinks for global clients.
