The Production Process and Technology of Water Cooling Plates

2023-05-12

Water cooling plates are key components for cooling electronic products such as CPUs, GPUs. Their production process mainly includes design, material cutting, bending, drilling, surface treatment and other steps.The first step is product design. According to the cooling requirements, determine the size, pipe layout, interface, etc. of the water cooling plate. The design of the water cooling plate should calculate the optimal pipe diameter and layout based on the flow rate and pressure drop of the fluid.The second step is material cutting. Select copper or aluminum as the main material of the water cooling plate. Use laser cutting machine or CNC cutting machine to cut the sheet material according to the design drawings.The third step is bending. Use the CNC bending machine to bend the cut sheet material according to the designed pipe path to form the cooling pipes. Pay attention to controlling the heating temperature and times during bending to avoid pipe deformation. The fourth step is drilling. Drill interface holes and fixing holes at the corresponding positions on the water cooling plate. The interface holes are used to connect water pipes and water pumps. The fixing holes are used to install fans and other cooling components. Drilling must ensure hole precision and surface quality.The fifth step is surface treatment. Polish, grind, naturally oxidize or electroplate nickel on the water cooling plate to improve the appearance quality and corrosion resistance. The final step is function test. After the processing of the water cooling plate is completed, the flow rate, pressure drop and temperature are tested to verify its cooling performance. According to the test results, necessary optimization adjustments are made to meet the design requirements. Following the above steps, a high quality customized water cooling plate is completed.In summary, a high-performance water cooling plate requires precise design and manufacturing.
