What is Sintered Steel?

Sintered steel is a type of metal that has undergone a sintering process, in which powdered metal is heated below its melting point until the particles form a molecular bond. Metals such as iron, copper, and aluminum are commonly turned into sintered steel. Sintered steels normally possess resistance to high temperatures and slow deformation rates.

There are three main stages in producing sintered steel: powdering, molding, and compacting. 

Gaps between the particles created during sintering increase the steel's porosity. This attribute allows for the production of sintered stainless steel filters, which can be used to filter air and chemicals. Moreover, since sintered stainless steel can withstand tremendous heat, it is often applied in environments under extreme conditions.

Our Sintered metal solutions excel in a wide variety of demanding applications, providing sufficient performance to filter products.

Our products are available in a range of materials. Tailoring design requirements to individual process requirements is easy with the powder metal solution.

Available materials: Stainless Steel (304 316 304L 316L), Hastelloy, Inconel, Monel, Bronze, Titanium, and special alloys on request.

Sintered porous metal filters are manufactured from isostatic cool pressing and high-temperature vacuum sintering. The micron rating and distribution of the pores can be controlled by the metal powder. They are the ideal choice for process filtration applications where high strength and excellent corrosion and temperature resistance are required. 

Customized design enables our filter elements to be used in nearly any new application or as a retrofit in filter systems.

We manufacture sintered metal powder filter cartridges in a wide range of materials, sizes, and connections to meet the characteristics and configurations that customers need.
