Bigburtchino, I used to get a lot of the Cu/Al heat sinks like the one in your first photo. When I did I would put them in a vise in the same position as in the photo. I would spread apart two of the fins and cut the Al with my saws-all. Once the Al was cut through the Cu plug would fall out.
Both our methods use energy in one form or another and for me it depends on how many I have to do what I use. I wish I could get paid enough not to think about separating the Cu for the Al. Thanks for sharing your methods. Mike
