Abstract
A phase change heat sink has higher heat transfer efficiency compared to a traditional metal solid heat sink, and is thus more preferred for the heat dissipation of high-power light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with very high heat flux. The boiling structure at the evaporation surface is the biggest factor that affects heat sink resistance. It is necessary to investigate the plastic deformation law during the machining process of boiling structures. In this study, a novel phase change radial heat sink was developed for high-power LED heat dissipation. First, a working principle and a fabrication process for the heat sink were introduced. Subsequently, to achieve an excellent heat dissipation performance, the machining process of boiling structures was numerically simulated and investigated. To be specific, plastic deformation generated during the formation was analyzed, and key parameters related to the morphology of the boiling structures were discussed including feeding angles and machining depths. Moreover, the finite element (FE) simulation results were compared with those of experiments. Last but not least, the heat transfer performance of the fabricated heat sink was tested. Results showed that the developed heat sink was well suited for a high-power LED application.

Summary
A light-emitting diode (LED) refers to an electroluminescent (EL) device, which is different from an incandescent lamp, a fluorescent lamp, and other traditional lighting sources in terms of the luminescence mechanism. A phase change heat sink can dissipate the heat from a high-power LED’s heat source in real time. A novel phase change radial heat sink was designed and fabricated to deal with LED heat dissipation. The processing technology of the phase change heat sink’s boiling structures was numerically simulated and investigated. In this regard, plastic deformation generated during the machining process was analyzed, and key parameters were discussed including feeding angles and machining depths. 2. Operating Principle and Fabrication Process of the Developed Phase Change Heat Sink. The LED heat load is first introduced into the boiling structures through the evaporation surface (hot side). Perfusion and vacuuming were conducted, and the heat sink was painted with coatings to increase heat radiation
