Heatsink Surface Treatment

Anodizing, Plating & Coating — Protection Meets Precision

Improve corrosion resistance, thermal performance, and aesthetics with tailored finishes for your aluminum heatsinks.

🔷Product Overview

Our die casting aluminum heatsinks are engineered for superior heat dissipation and durability. Designed for demanding applications in electronics, LED lighting, automotive, and renewable energy systems.

🔷Features

  • Corrosion protection — Extend service life in harsh environments.
  • Improved thermal emissivity — Better heat dissipation via anodizing or coatings.
  • Enhanced appearance — Color matching and branding options.

🔷Common Surface Treatment Options

  • 1. Anodizing
  • Hard anodizing for wear resistance
  • Decorative anodizing with color choices (black, silver, red, blue, gold, etc.)
  • Improves emissivity and corrosion resistance
  • 2. Powder Coating
  • Durable, colorful finish
  • Good for non-critical thermal surfaces
  • Excellent mechanical protection
  • 3. Chromate Conversion Coating (Alodine)
  • Conductive surface for EMI shielding
  • Corrosion protection without changing dimensions
  • Suitable for grounding applications
  • 4. Electroplating
  • Nickel, tin, or silver plating for conductivity
  • Enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection
  • 5. Sandblasting / Polishing /Matte
  • Uniform surface texture before anodizing or painting
  • Improves adhesion of coatings
  • 6. Laser Engraving
  • Permanent, high-contrast marking for part numbers, logos, or serial codes
  • No ink, no fading — resistant to wear, heat, and chemicals
  • Can be applied directly to anodized or bare aluminum
  • Ideal for branding, traceability, and compliance markings
