In order to provide a heat pipe for transporting heat from an evaporation area to a condensation area, comprising a housing with housing walls, a capillary structure arranged in the housing and thermally coupled to the respective, corresponding housing wall in the evaporation area as well as in the condensation area, a vapor channel arranged in the housing and leading from the evaporation area to the condensation area as well as a heat transport medium, as well to make available a process for the production of such a heat pipe it is suggested that the capillary structure be an open-pored capillary layer produced by way of thermal plasma spraying of powder particles.
