LED aluminum PCB technology and material selection

LED Aluminum PCB is composed of the circuit layer (copper foil layer), thermal insulation layer and the metal core layer. Circuit layer require great current-carrying capacity, thus should use thicker copper foil and generally the thickness is from 35um to 280um; Thermal insulation layer is the core technology of aluminum PCB, it is usually made up of special ceramics and fill special polymers, with small thermal resistance, good viscoelasticity, and has thermal aging ability, and can be able to withstand mechanical and thermal stress. Thermal insulation layer of IMS-H01、IMS-H02 and LED-0601 and other high-performance aluminum PCB are using this technology, which has the extremely good thermal conductivity and high strength electrical insulation;

Which is cheaper Aluminium 7068 or Aluminium 7075?

The best way to find an answer for this is to contact a metals supplier for quote on similar bar product. I was going to suggest that you look in the McMaster-Carr online catalog but I looked a moment ago and they have dropped 7068  aluminium alloys plate  in favor of 7050, also a superior aluminum alloy. They still carry 7075 which is somewhat weaker but still better than 6061 aluminium alloys plate and 2024 aluminium alloys plate. You can contact Kaiser-Tennalum to find a distributor for 7068

What is aluminium 7075 alloy?

Aluminum alloy 7075 is an aluminum alloy, with zinc as the primary alloying element. It is strong, with a strength comparable to many steels, and has good fatigue strength and average machinability. It has lower resistance to corrosion than many other Al alloys, but has significantly better corrosion resistance than the 2000 alloys. Its relatively high cost limits its use to applications where cheaper alloys are not suitable.
