We provide the optimal varieties to match the characteristics of individual filters and diverse requirements.

Sintered metal filters are manufactured by compacting metal powder through pressing and then sintering it. This process allows for the formation of a metal matrix that has sufficient mechanical strength while possessing the porosity necessary to function as a filter. Additionally, because they can be shaped into unique forms, there is a benefit of omitting or reducing costly machining processes. Sintered filters have uniformly distributed pores ranging from 0.2 to 100 microns in size. By adjusting the material, shape, and porosity of the filter, a wide range of functions can be tailored, including capillary action, electrical resistance, thermal conductivity, permeability to gases and liquids, and mechanical properties. □ For other functions and details, please contact us.
