A method is disclosed to produce a wick structure for a heat pipe. The wick structure is a sintered powder wick and is produced by sintering process. A group of powders is firstly provided. The group of powders is then classified into many sub-groups in terms of powder size. At least one sub-group of the powders is selected to form the wick structure via the sintering process. Thus, the powders used to construct the wick structure are confined to powders having a relatively narrower range of powder size in relative to the group of powders as originally provided. This has greatly reduced the complexity involved in the sintering process, and as a result, the required sintering temperature and the required time for the sintering process are easier to be determined.
