    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: 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: 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.
