MICRO DEFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Wolverine Tube's Micro Deformation Technology(MDT) is the low cost, manufacturing method for creating compact microchannel surfaces for use in thermal transfer applications.

Unlike laser and chemical etching, Wolverine's proprietary technology requires no physical removal of surface materials. Micro-deformation can be used to form microchannels in a wide variety of ductile metal surfaces making it ideal for thermal management solutions.

MDT has been used to produce micro cooling surfaces in:

Copper and Copper Alloys
Palladium, Gold and Silver
Low Carbon and Stainless Steel
Rubber
Tungsten

Aluminum
Titanium
Engineered Plastics
Teflon
Many other metals

What is MDT

Micro-Deformation Technology (MDT) is a proprietary material forming process developed for the production of engineered heat transfer tubing. The patented process employs a fixed tool, which mechanically and plastically deforms the work piece to form finite and repeatable microchannels. Through the use of Micro-Deformation Technology a variety of channel depths, channel widths, fin shapes and angularity can be achieved.

		Wolverine's Micro-Cool™ Evaporator and Condenser Testing Wolverine completes testing on its Micro-Cool™ evaporator and condenser in a major thermal management program with the University of Maryland, for the Office of Naval Research, that clearly demonstrates the thermal performance advantage of its MDT microchannel.

		Wolverine Expanded Its Process Capability Sy-Jenq Loong, Micro-Cooling™ Engineering Manager, has expanded the process capability for Wolverine’s proprietary Micro Deformation Process and the result is a larger library of enhanced surface geometries for thermal management solutions.

		Wolverine Expanded Its Business Thermal Management Capabilities Wolverine’s Micro-Cooling™ Division is in the process of expanding its business thermal management capability from simply fundamental MDT surfaces to full scale components with full design support, manufacturing, and assembly.
