NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF CAST COPPER COOLING BLOCKS

摘要

No single block design is suitable for all applications. Selection of the appropriate design must be based on consideration of the process and process risks. For applications with high heat loads, a new pipe coil alloy and associated casting technique (Patents Pending) has been developed which achieves metallurgical bonding at the pipe coil to cast-around copper interface. Mechanical durability over existing designs is established due to the achievement of a metallurgical bond, as well as reducing stresses in the copper at the outside of the pipe coil.
