Cooling solutions by matching plastic and metal in automotive industry

In this paper it is presented a mechanical study made on prototype parts created from aluminium and thermal conductive plastic. The scope to replace full metal used for cooling electronic control unit in automotive industry save costs. We plates plastic study. permanent bonding of two materials, without any glue or additional additives, can be obtained by applying heat an plate until around 300 degrees Celsius pressing the part. This solution has following advantages: cool local spots bring 30% savings replacing housings with built plates. Where dissipation cannot forced air convection, combine housing sink. assembly innovative. Our tests prove efficiency 20% lower than housing, effect point view.
