Abstract

A heat sink made of aluminum having both high strength and heat dissipation performance together is manufactured.In a method of manufacturing a heat sink made of aluminum by brazing a plurality of fins 13 on a heat dissipating substrate 11, the fin 13 comprises an Al—Mg—Si series alloy containing from 0.3 to 0.7% by weight of Mg, from 0.3 to 0.7% by weight of Si and the balance of Al and inevitable impurities, and is put to cooling at a rate of 50° C./min or more in a range from 450-500° C. to 300° C. in the cooling process after heating for brazing and, subsequently, artificial aging is applied at 100 to 250° C.
