Heat Pipe Components
Mott sintered media’s pore structure provides unique wicking properties driven by capillary action of amorphous metal particles. For example, in heat pipe applications, a custom designed interior can wick process water 360 degrees around the pipe such that uniform heat distribution remains unimpeded by a build-up of fluid.
