摘要:
A substantially cylindrical, unitized filter element for separating contaminant material from a flowing media includes an outer, substantially cylindrical wall portion which is fabricated by a two step process involving both a compacting step followed by a sintering step. The result of these processing steps is to create a rigid, porous filtering matrix. The filter element also includes an inner, substantially cylindrical wall portion which is also constructed through a two step process of a granular material which has been compacted and sintered into a rigid and porous filtering matrix. Disposed between the two cylindrical wall portions is a substantially cylindrical structural support member which is fabricated from a non-restrictive material and a material which is compatible with the material selected for the inner and outer wall portions. The structural support member is positioned between the two wall portions prior to the compacting process step and is sintered to the outer and inner wall portions in order to create a unitized filter element.

摘要:
A getter-filter composite membrane element, comprising a sinterable getter material and a sinterable metal filter material, the composite element defining a matrix of substantially interconnected pores. Membrane elements may be comprised of at least three alternating layers of a first sinterable getter material layer and a second sinterable metal filter material layer, the first getter layer being located between the second filter layers, the second layers acting to hold the getter layer, and to retain the getter particles. Also disclosed is a method of making the getter-filter element.
摘要:
Metal particulates and porous metal media, which have enhanced resistance to undesirable oxidation, and methods of producing the same are provided. The porous metal media comprise sintered metal particulates each typically having a core and a surface and a diameter in the range of 0.25 to 50 micrometers, the particulates comprising at least about 60 wt. % of a base metal including at least one of iron and nickel, at least about 11 wt. % chromium and no more than about 0.03 wt. % carbon. The surfaces of the particulates are enriched with at least one treatment element in an amount and depth sufficient to enhance the resistance of the particulates to undesirable oxidation. The invention also includes a fine metal filter medium formed from sintered metal fibers, which has enhanced resistance to corrosion and/or to high temperature oxidation. A method of enhancing the resistance of a porous metal medium to undesirable oxidation is also provided which includes heating a porous metal medium formed from sintered metal particulates having a diameter in the range of 0.25 to 50 micrometers and a composition comprising (a) at least about 60 wt. % of a base metal including at least one of iron and nickel, (b) at least about 11 wt. % chromium and (c) no more than about 0.03 wt. % carbon, in the presence of a pack composition comprising a treatment element, an activator and a diluent, at a temperature of at least about 700.degree. C.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a liquid conducting porous article having micron sized metallic particles suspended on a ceramic substrate member. The method includes coating the ceramic substrate with a particle slurry on top of which is added an additional amount of the same particles as a dry powder, and then heat treating the article in a reducing gas atmosphere. The use of less than ten micron sized Nickel particles for the porous material and sintered fusion of the particles are also included.
摘要:
A filter or catalyst body comprising wires or fibers is disclosed which is constructed in a single-layer or multi-layer as woven cloth, braiding or knitted fabric, the wires or fibers being at least partially connected to one another by sintering or welding. The woven cloth, netting, braiding or knitted fabric is endowed with inserted powdery, granular or chip-like particles which are sintered with or welded to the wires or fibers to provide a filter density which is lower in the inlet region of the filter body since fewer particles are provided there.
摘要:
A method of producing a porous metal, which comprises forming a mixture of a metal powder and a fibrous substance and subjecting the mixture to sintering treatment to obtain a porous metal; a catalyst carrier obtained by laminating a dried sheet wherein a metal powder is supported in a fibrous substance with a dried sheet obtained by corrugating a dried sheet similar to the first-mentioned sheet to form an assembly of a number of cells having both ends opened and subjecting the assembly to sintering treatment; and a filter element obtained by laminating a dried sheet wherein a metal powder is supported in a fibrous substance with a dried sheet obtained by corrugating a dried sheet similar to the first-mentioned sheet to form an assembly of a number of cells whose one end is opened and whose other end is closed and subjecting the assembly to sintering treatment.
摘要:
The invention is a process for modifying pore size near the surface of porous materials. The surface is contacted with an alcohol solution of a metal alkoxide which forms a hydrous oxide insoluble in water, an amount of water insufficient to hydrolyze fully the metal alkoxide, and a mineral acid for a time sufficient for the solution to penetrate the surface region but not the bulk. This is followed by exposing to sufficient moisture to complete hydrolysis and then curing to stabilize the metal oxide in the pores near the surface.
摘要:
The invention provides a process for modifying a ceramic and/or metallic porous material having open cells necessary for the material to serve the function of gas diffusing materials, filters or the like. The porous material is subjected to hot isostatic pressing at a temperature at which the base portion of the porous material softens or melts to compact or homogenize the base portion.
摘要:
An ultra-high efficiency particulate air filter for use in the microelectronics manufacturing industry is formed as a fully homogeneous sintered metal filter that exhibits an efficiency substantially in excess of a 6 log reduction and preferably equal to or exceeding a 9 log reduction (an efficiency of 99.9999999%). The filter can be used as a process gas in-line filter in state of the art gas supply systems. The porous metal filter exhibits long term stability relative to mechanical or thermal stress and operates within the desired ultra-high efficiency levels even under high pressure conditions. It does not exhibit an outgassing problem and there is no particle shedding. These features are provided within a unit no larger than those conventionally employed heretofore with organic membranes and under substantially identical operating conditions.
