Any fined aluminum extrusion with a flat smooth surface can be used then your IGBT is mounted on it with a layer of silicon grease in-between, but remember the mounting surface is also your collector, if your heat sink is going to touch other metal parts it is beter to electrically insulate the IGBT with a silicon insulator strip and insulating sleeves for the mounting screws, then the heat sink can be mounted on a box that is fitted with a cooling fan with the fins inside the box, else it can be mounted open with the fins in a vertical position for natural airflow over the fins

How to Design Heat sink for IGBT?
Any fined aluminum extrusion with a flat smooth surface can be used then your IGBT is mounted on it with a layer of silicon grease in-between, but remember the mounting surface is also your collector, if your heat sink is going to touch other metal parts it is beter to electrically insulate the IGBT with a silicon insulator strip and insulating sleeves for the mounting screws, then the heat sink can be mounted on a box that is fitted with a cooling fan with the fins inside the box, else it can be mounted open with the fins in a vertical position for natural airflow over the fins
