Description

Single/Multiple Layer of Sintered Mesh Laminates

Sintered mesh laminate is a type of strong, porous material. It is made using stainless steel or other metal alloys. By using a special process called diffusion-bonding, one or more layers of woven wire mesh are permanently joined together. This makes it stronger and more stable than regular wire mesh. Because of these qualities, it’s commonly used as a filter in various industries.

One layer is separated forcibly from other layers of the sintered mesh, which offers us to see the sintered structure clearly.

Based on the number of layers, sintered mesh laminates can be categorized into two types: single-layer sintered mesh laminate and multi-layer sintered mesh laminate.

Single Layer Sintered Mesh Laminate

We all know that a single layer of woven wire mesh, though widely used, has some drawbacks. The edges can start to fray, and the wires can move within the weave. This not only changes the overall structure but also affects the filter’s performance, as the pore size can be altered.

single layer woven wire mesh
Loss and distortion of the edge lead to inconsistent aperture sizes of the single layer square woven wire mesh.

The sintering process, which uses heat and pressure, forms strong molecular bonds at every point where the wires cross over and under each other in the wire mesh. This process greatly improves the mesh’s mechanical strength and filtration abilities.

For example, if we look at a 10 × 10 plain weave woven wire mesh, you can clearly see the difference in the cross-section before and after the sintering process.

Multi-Layer Sintered Mesh Laminate

With layers ranging from 2 up to more than 25, multi-layer sintered mesh laminates offer greater strength for filters and tough environment applications. A single layer of wire mesh used for filtration, separation, or sifting often lacks strength and can be easily damaged. By adding more layers through the sintering process, the mesh gains the ability to handle high pressure, making it a deeper and stronger filter material.

Starting with a five-layer sintered mesh as the base, a six-layer sintered mesh is created by adding an extra layer of 12 mesh. The six-layer sintered mesh laminate is versatile and can be used for filtering, washing, and drying, making it ideal for three-in-one medical filter plates, which come in two forms: split type and one-piece type.
