SinterPore™ Sintered Metal Mesh provides many additional benefits when compared to traditional wire cloth.

• Diffusion bonded wire cloth can be fabricated in single or multiple layers. Multiple layer assemblies provide enhanced mechanical properties for filters and harsh environment applications.
• Sintered wire mesh is stable, making it ideal for mesh with a high percentage of open area or that requires a secure pore size.
• SinterPore™ sintered mesh is easy to fabricate and produces a stable, strong product. It can be constructed as a depth filter media, providing excellent filtration properties. It is an excellent material to use for products that require controlled permeability.
• Sintered wire mesh can be cleaned and re-used for many applications.
• Diffusion bonding locks and secures all wire in the mesh, eliminating loose wires and increasing the stability of the cloth. It can be used for small parts and special shapes without losing shape or loose wires. Traditional wire cloth can become loose and ineffective over time.

SinterPore™ sintered metal filter wire mesh is available in a wide range of micron ratings, mechanical properties and alloys. The standard product is available in 24” x 48” sheets produced from 316LSS stainless steel. Many other alloys are and sizes are available up to 48” x 55”.

We offer several standard series of SinterPore™ wire mesh laminates.

• Single Layer Series                             (SL Series)
• Filter Plate Series                               (FP Series)

The first support layer is normally a plain weave and the heavy support layer can have a wire diameter of .020” or larger.

PM Series: (Perforated Plate + Mesh Series)

Super robust media that incorporates woven wire cloth and perforated plate. This media has very high compressive and mechanical strength. Many designs can have safe margins designed into the panel (non-perforated area) to aid in fabrication and handling.

Nominal filter ratings from 5 – 200 microns are available.

Standard Sheet Size: 24” x 48” (Custom sizes available).

Number of Layers: 2 layers, 3 Layers, 4 Layers, 5 Layers.

3 Layer Common Construction: Filter / Drainage / Perforated Plate:    Filter layer is exposed and can be almost any mesh pattern. Drainage layer is normally a plain weave. The perforated support layer is normally at least 35% or greater open area.

4 Layer Common Construction: Protection / Filter / Drainage / Perforated Plate:    The protection layer is normally a high open area plain weave. Filter layer can be almost any mesh construction or weave pattern. The drainage layer is normally a plain weave with a high percent of open area. The support layer is normally a plain weave.

CL Series: (Custom Layer Laminates)

Custom diffusion bonded laminates have endless design possibilities. We can design sintered wire cloth laminates to fit your application and optimize your process. Sintered metallic fiber felt can be incorporated into our wire mesh laminates.

Standard Sheet Size: 24” x 48” (Custom sizes available).

Number of Layers: 2 – 200 or more layers of wire cloth.

Definition of Sintered or Diffusion Bonded Wire Mesh:

Stainless Steel Sintered Wire Mesh is a filtering cloth made by pressing multi-layer woven wire cloth, then sintered together in a vacuum furnace. This kind of filtering cloth is much better than common metal woven wire mesh with good strength, hardness and good positioning of opening. Its comprehensive property is superior to sintered metal powder and porcelain. The major characteristics are: excellent strength, no inner support is required for making filter elements, no material, easily repeated cleaning, long lifespan and good anti-corrosion.

What Are Sintered Mesh Laminates?

Fine woven wire filter mesh provides micron-rated pore size but it is too thin and can be damaged. The best solution is to laminate the fine mesh to a coarser mesh supportive layer to provide increased strength and thickness. The common sintered wire mesh laminates are 5-layer or 6-layer, which is extensively used in filtration.

Sintered Metal Filter Elements Advantages

All of our Sintered Metal Filters are available in a wide range of micron ratings and alloys. In almost all cases, sintered metal filters can be cleaned multiple times. Contact us today for a detailed quote or if you have any questions about our diffusion bonded sintered wire cloth capabilities.
