Introduction

Introduction to aluminium and heat pipeAluminium Alloy has highly opted for structural applications. 7075 grades has been a mutual choice of raw material selection for heavy-duty manufacturing sectors and construction industries. Aluminium Alloy has highly opted for structural applications. 7075 grades has been a mutual choice of raw material selection for heavy-duty manufacturing sectors and construction industries. The advantages are low density, highest tensile strength, ductile and huge fatigue resistant [1]. It affords the capacity to transform heat efficiently from one point to another with minimum scale in temperature. A heat pipe is a “double phase” heat transfer mechanism with extremely huge “effective” thermal conductivity. A thin-walled pipe with an internal wick structure allows boiling and condensing to occur within the pipe resulting in heat transfer from the hot end to the cooled end [2]; (Figure 1)
