Abstract

Metal is extruded through a feeder plate and an extrusion die to form a heat pipe component that includes a length of pipe and a flange extending outward from the pipe along the length of the pipe. A section of the flange is removed from the extruded heat pipe component, the pipe is sealed and compressed to reduce its thickness and form a heat pipe element for a computing system.
