Hello Roger,

I can see that most users got confused about your question.

I think Roger want to do is simply to make PCBs with aluminum. Am I right Roger?

Instead as the usual copper base, the PCB surface is aluminum. Period.

And although someone did comment about better heat properties of copper instead of aluminum, almost any LED manufacturer in the world is using aluminum instead of copper as the PCB thermal substrate.

Regards.
