Re: What\'s the best for transfering heat?
do you need GLUE too?
or do you want it to be removable?
ArcticSilver epoxy stuff works good.
arcticAlumina epoxy stuff is lesser
i have been using J&B weld, with good results, NOT the quick trash, its different.
but I ALWAYS make sure there is as much metal to metal contact first, then clamp it hard to achieve metal to metal as best as possible, then cure it for the FULL TIME, before heating.
if you want it removable arcticsilver5 is a thick paste, after you clamp and HEAT it, then keep it clamped lightly, like with a modamag sink and optics or reflectors crushing down on it, it would work good.
all the cruddy white stuff sucks, and gets worse over time, but EVEN arcticsilver5 gets cruddy overtime vrses arcticsilver epoxies. the oil in that non glue stuff always dissapates eventually in the heat, leaving a drier blob of metalized goop.
BTW you can solder an emitter to a copper sync without destroying it, and you can destroy it TOO /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif done both them, and would never attempt it again, even if the finished one works great.
