Conclusion&Suggestions

According to simulation analysis, the maximum deformation of the liquid cooled plate under a pressure load of 0.5MPa is 0.032mm, and the maximum equivalent stress is 30.5MPa, which is much lower than the yield strength of AL6061 material at 276MPa. The product deformation is small and elastic, within a safe range; The current design of liquid cooled plate structure and friction welding span scheme can ensure the safe use of liquid cooled plates.
