Titanium Heat-Pipe Wicks
Abstract
Sintered titanium offers several advantages over sintered aluminum as material for heat-pipe wicks. Titanium both strong and light. Thermal conductivity only one-seventh of aluminum, and therefore used when high thermal resistance is needed to prevent boiling of working fluid.
