Jamcor/SJS Products offers exceptional custom aluminum extrusion services that support broader production requirements for heat sinks, enclosures, and structural components used in electronic assemblies and thermal management applications. By shaping aluminum into complex cross-sectional profiles, extrusions offer an efficient and scalable manufacturing solution for components that require both structural integrity and highly-effective heat dissipation properties. Our facility can complete aluminum extruding jobs as a standalone service, but this process is typically combined with our braided multi-process manufacturing services to provide turnkey prototype-to-production solutions for complex electronic or thermal systems.
Aluminum extrusion is a unique process which takes heated aluminum and forces it through precision dies to create continuous length profiles with specific geometries and shapes that may be difficult to impossible to create using alternative manufacturing methods. Extrusion allows for highly repeatable shapes with consistent cross-sections that are required for use in thermal or electronic applications. Our engineers and technicians are adept at working with 6000-series aluminum alloys like 6061 and 6063, which provide customers an optimal balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity. Typical extrusion profiles inclue T-bards, H-bars, U-bars, hat channels, thin walled enclosures, and other custom-designed heat sink profiles. Finished extruded aluminum parts are consistently used in power electronics, telecommunications equipment, LED lighting systems, and other industrial or automotive electronic use cases.
Aluminum extrusion is one of the most widely applied manufacturing methods for heat sink production as it allows engineers to design complex thin-walled profiles that are optimized for thermal performance. As an aluminum extruder, Jamcor can produce profiles with closely spaced fins, thin part walls, high surface-area geometries, and integrated airflow channels that allow more heat to transfer into the surroundinng air and improve cooling efficiency. Unlike other manufacturing methods, extrusion forms these features as a singular linear structure that can be trimmed to length, maintaining the desired properties created through the custom extrusion profiles.
Extruded heat sinks and other thermal management components offer distinct advantages to the overall assembly that other manufacturing processes may fall short on. Extruded heat sinks allow for passive cooling through natural convection without fans, dissipates heat efficiently throughout the entire profile, reduces hotspots due to consistent geometry, and has a lightweight design that still maintains the necessary levels of structural integrity. Jamcor aluminum extruded parts are ideal for use in power supplies, convertors, CPUs/GPUs, LED lighting systems, telecommunications equipment, and other high-perfromance electronic devices.
Aluminum extrusion allows for unique finned profiles that increase surface area and improve heat dissipation, which cannot be achieved with alternative manufacturing processes.
Jamcor/SJS Products routinely works with 6000-series aluminum alloys like 6061 and 6063 due to their strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to extrude into complex profiles.
