316L Sintered Wire Mesh For Water Treatment And Gas Purification

Sintered mesh is manufactured from one layer or multiple layers of woven wire meshes by a "sintering" process. The single layer woven wire mesh is first roller flattened uniformly to ensure good contact at the wire cross over points. Then the single layer or more layers of this calendered mesh are laminated by special fixtures under mechanical pressure in a high temperature furnace filled with proprietary inset gas. The temperature is raised to a point where sintering (diffusion-bonded) occurs. After controlled-cooling process, the mesh becomes more rigid as all contact points of individual wires bond to each other. Sintering improves the characteristics of woven wire mesh through the combination of heat and pressure. Sintered mesh can be single layer or multiple layer according to filtration needs, with one layer of perforated metal optionally added to reinforce the whole structure.

Sintered metal mesh can be applied for diffuser screens, centrifuges, breather vents, fluidized beds, chromatography, polymer, petrochemical, hydraulic filters, and more.
