Method of manufacturing a heat sink made of aluminum

Personal computer keyboard

In a heat pipe container having a working fluid enclosed therein, the container includes a container body in the form of a horizontal straight tube and having an evaporator portion, a heat insulating portion and a condenser portion as arranged from one end of the body to the other end thereof, and an upward hollow projecting portion provided on the condenser portion of the container body.

Heat pipe

A heat-resistant aluminum-base composite which includes an aluminum matrix of not smaller than 99.0% purity, Si particles whose average diameter falls in the range of 0.1 to 100 .mu.m, and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and Al.sub.4 C.sub.3 particles, the particles being dispersed in the aluminum matrix at volume percents Vf(Si) and V.sub.f (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 +Al.sub.4 C.sub.3) wherein Vf(Si).gtoreq.9%, Vf(Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 +Al.sub.4 C.sub.3).ltoreq.20% and Vf (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 +Al.sub.4 C.sub.3)+Vf(Si).ltoreq.40%.

Heat-resistant aluminum-base composites and process of making same

A heat pipe comprising a container having water enclosed therein as a working fluid and made of a material reactive with water to evolve hydrogen gas. The heat pipe is characterized in that the container has placed therein a solid oxidizing agent for oxidizing the hydrogen gas to water. The hydrogen gas produced by the reaction of the working fluid, i.e. water, with the container is oxidized to water by the oxidizing agent without remaining in the form of a gas within the condensing portion of the pipe.

A process for producing a heat pipe including the steps of treating the inner surface of a steel container with an aqueous solution of a vanadate with heating, and enclosing in the container a working liquid prepared by adding an alkalinizing pH adjusting agent to pure water and having an adjusted pH of 8 to 12. When the container inner surface is treated with the aqueous vanadate solution with heating, a protective layer covering the inner surface is formed. The working liquid, when in the range of 8 to 12 in pH, maintains the protective layer in a stable state over a prolonged period of time.
