Through this technique powders of metal may be the beginning of the structure.
Sintered copper sheet.
This elements have high filtration precision good air permeability high mechanical strength high utilization of materials.
They are also available in fine medium and coarse particle sizes.
Oxidation on a sample.
Photographs of 1500 degree sintered copper.
They are porous and get created through passing metal that is molten onto some base with the control of porosity being realized.
Photographs of 900 degree sintered copper.
These sheets are available in various materials such as alumina zirconia and magnesia.
With the structural integrity of metal and various degrees of porosity porous metal media offers engineers the ability to design around issues that affect other materials such as high temperatures high pressures or corrosive operating environments.
Sintered copper may be used as a wicking structure in certain types of heat pipe construction where the porosity allows a liquid agent to move through the porous material via capillary action.
Mott specializes in the creation numerous oem porous metal parts such as bushings cups discs sheet and tubes.
