The demand for lightweight and cost-effective heat sinks is increasing. A typical method for economically manufacturing complex-shape heat sinks is die casting. To reduce the weight of the die-cast heat sinks, thinning the fins and base is common practice. We experimented with casting heat sinks using Al-25%Si in a conventional die casting machine with the aim of economically producing thinner fins and bases. Compared with the aluminum alloy used in conventional die casting, Al-25%Si has superior fluidity, which is proven to be very useful for reducing the thickness of the fins and base. As a result, we successfully reduced the heat sink weight using Al-25%Si and a conventional die casting machine. To investigate the properties of the produced Al-25%Si thin fin heat sink, we compared the effects of fin thickness, fin height, number of fins, and base thickness on heat dissipation and weight reduction. Additionally, we compared the weight and heat dissipation properties with those of a commercial heat sink and found that our Al-25%Si heat sink maintains the same heat dissipation performance but for 35% lower weight.
