Abstract

A leveling method for burying an evaporating section of a heat pipe into a thermally conductive seat is provided for an assembly of heat pipe and heat-conducting seat by simultaneously making the evaporating section of heat pipe partially formed into a flat surface when the evaporating section of heat pipe is being burying into the thermally conductive seat. Furthermore, in cooperation with a stamping machine, the leveling method is to make a multiple steps of press-fitting process to an evaporating section of heat pipe under a condition that there is no need to change the stamping die.
