DekDaeng Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I need to get a rectangular piece of 6 mm thick copper plate, 67 x 103 mm, for a heat sink. Anybody know where I might find this? (Pref. Eastern seaboard) T.I.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Lazada or AliExpress? Does it have to be copper (=$$$) most heatsinks are aluminium. Is it vehicle related (this is the Motoring forum), let me know if you want the thread moved ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I think your best bet would be to find a local resistance welder supplier. We used MS Trading for yeas, and they do great work for fair prices, but they are in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10012001 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Copper is fairly mallable. A good plumbing supply store should have some good sized copper pipe that you can cut open and pound flat. Copper will break just as a paper clip does if you flex it back and forth enough so if you do try this pipe approach, don't bend the copper back and forth too much. You can flame it but I don't think you will need to. Some videos on you tubble should point you in the right direction Edited September 30, 2021 by gk10012001 add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10012001 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Also any building supply store should sell copper flashing or copper. Not rare to be used for chimney or other uses around the house, copper ceiling tiles, etc.. not rare in houses or restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 a piece of 3/4 or 1inch pipe flattened will do you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 A piece of 3/4" or 1" with 6mm wall-thickness? Cutting it and hammering it flat sounds like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdd Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 If possible use aluminium, way easier to source. If 5 instead of 6mm works look for this, much more common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbko Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Try "Copper sheet" on Google/shopping, you'll find a lot to choose from like this one on Lazada; https://www.lazada.co.th/products/1-pcs-05-300-100-i1511846471-s3997106546.html?exlaz=d_1:mm_150050845_51350205_2010350205::12:12654756915!117524295342!!!pla-294682000766!c!294682000766!3997106546!238490259&gclid=CjwKCAjwhuCKBhADEiwA1HegOU7UUay4C9bxFrRHvU7pI6MeX3cqTg-PD1RUTJOyF79oShBEtEX21xoCUvYQAvD_BwE Edit; Opps, I misread the dimensions, cm/mm. ????
