nickel plating of cold plates?
(OP)
What are the advantages if any of nickel plating a cold plate?
The application I'm considering is an approx 500mm sq 6061 alu plate, 55mm thk cooled by heat pipes. Loads are 500-1000W devices, 140x150mm, 9 per side so about 3/4 of the surface is used..
I've seen (vendor) claims that nickel plate improves heat spread. Is there a significant improvement?
Thanks..
