My science teacher has everything needed to electroplate zinc onto another metal. He showed us a silver colored penny, and then showed us what happens if you heat it up a lot. Well, the penny turned a beautiful golden color, because the zync melted with the copper.
My question: How would this affect performance? And: How hot would I have to heat it to melt the zync onto the copper? He didnt tell us, and im afraid if I did this to a heatsink it would melt the solder holding the fins to the base. The example would be the Sk-7 I picked up for my suitcase pc.
