Light Emitting Diode applications


Cast LED Heat Sink

Al-SiC over Aluminum
  • > 50% Higher Thermal Conductivity than Cast Aluminum Alloys

  • > 65% Higher Elastic Modulus (Stiffness) than Cast Aluminum

  • 2 Orders of Magnitude Increase in Wear Resistance
Cast Electronics Housing
  
Al-SiC over Aluminum

  • CTE Matching - tailored CTE can match the PCB being mounted in the housing relieving design issues caused by high CTE aluminum
  • NVH Performance - Al-SiC's high Youngs Modulus together with its light weight provide one of the best metallic damping materials available.  Vibration is the number one cause of electronic failure in high power components.
MCPCB or IMS (ex. TVs)

Al-SiC over Aluminum
  • > 30% Higher Thermal Conductivity than Rolled Aluminum Alloys

  • > 65% Higher Elastic Modulus (Stiffness) than Rolled Aluminum for NVH applications

  • Excellent Wear and Corrosion Resistance
