Abstract
A method for manufacturing a heat exchanger structure includes additively forming a top layer of a header after disposing a corrugated core within the header to retain the corrugated core within the header. Additively forming the top layer can include filling the corrugated core with powder until a suitable layer of powder overlays the corrugated core and the header and sintering the powder to form the top layer of the header.
