According to different usage requirements, the internal heat exchange unit fins mainly include straight fins, corrugated fins, serrated fins, and perforated fins. The materials are generally aluminum alloy, stainless steel and copper. The accuracy of the fins directly affects the heat exchange efficiency and reliability and safety performance of the plate-fin heat exchanger; the serrated fins have a simple manufacturing process, a large specific surface area, and high heat transfer efficiency, and have great application potential in the industrial field; Patent Publication No. CN105547033A discloses a serrated fin for a heat exchanger, which specifically discloses a specific serrated fin structure, and the serrated fin preparation is made by continuous stamping of a stamping tool of a wave punching machine, but by Due to the power limitation of the wave machine, the thickness of the fins is generally thinner, the thickness of aluminum fins is generally 0.15-0.5mm; the thickness of stainless steel fins is generally 0.1-0.2mm; the thickness of copper fins is generally 0.1-0.2mm, but in some special applications (such as corrosion environment where corrosion margin needs to be considered), thicker fins (more than 0.5mm) need to be selected, especially when the fin material is stainless steel, titanium alloy and other high-strength materials. Due to the power and structural principle limitations of the wave machine, the traditional wave machine cannot directly punch the metal plate into a serrated fin; therefore, there is a problem that it is impossible to process and prepare serrated fins for materials with larger thickness and higher strength, and the manufactured serrated fins have small thickness, low structural strength, and poor corrosion resistance.
