What is Sintered Wire Mesh?

‌Sintered wire mesh is a special filter material formed by sintering wire mesh or particles at high temperature to form a mesh material with a porous structure. ‌

This structure enables sintered mesh to filter various fluids, such as liquids and gases, while blocking impurities, particles, and pollutants, providing a purer fluid‌.
The sintered mesh has high mechanical strength, excellent filtration accuracy, and wear resistance, and is widely used in various industrial fields‌.

There are many types of sintered mesh, including
5-layer standard sintered metal mesh
Multi-layer sintered metal mesh (3-7 layers)
Powder sintered filter
Special material sintered mesh, etc.

These different types of sintered mesh have their structure, performance, and application characteristics.

Material of sintered wire mesh

Sintered wire mesh is made of a wide variety of materials wire mesh, mainly stainless steel wire mesh, nickel alloy wire mesh, and other highly corrosion-resistant alloy wire mesh.

The choice of these materials depends on the specific requirements that the sintered mesh needs to meet in the actual application scenario, such as corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, high temperature resistance, etc.

Stainless steel materials include SUS304, SUS316, SUS316L, SUS 904L, SAF2205, SAF2507, etc., which have good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties and are widely used in various environments.

Nickel alloy materials such as Monel 400 and Inconel 600 are suitable for high temperature and corrosive environments.
Other alloys such as Hastelloy C-276 have high corrosion resistance and are often used in extreme environments.

Special materials such as titanium sintered wire mesh are suitable for chemical and pharmaceutical fields and semiconductor and optoelectronic fields, with high strength and high temperature resistance.

The selection of these materials is based on the needs of specific application scenarios, such as corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, high temperature resistance, etc., to ensure the stability and effectiveness of sintered mesh in different environments.

What size is sintered mesh?

The standard sizes of sintered mesh include:

500×1000mm, 600×1200mm, 1000×1200mm, 1200×1200mm, and 1500×1200mm. ‌ ‌
These sizes are common standard sizes of sintered mesh and are suitable for most application scenarios. ‌

The standard thickness of 5-layer sintered woven wire mesh is 1.7mm, and the 6-layer sintered wire mesh thickness is 3.5mm.

In addition, sintered mesh can also be customized according to the specific requirements of users. ‌
Sintered mesh sheets or sintered filter cartridges of different sizes can be customized.

Feathers of sintered wire mesh

  • Sintered wire mesh has the characteristics of high strength and high rigidity. Its mechanical strength and compressive strength are very high. It has good processing, welding and assembly performance and is easy to use.
  • The filtration accuracy of sintered wire mesh is high and uniform and stable. All filtration accuracies can achieve uniform and consistent filtration performance, and the mesh will not change during use.
  • Sintered wire mesh also has good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and can be used for a long time in harsh industrial environments.
  • Sintered wire mesh has good fluidization effect, high efficiency and low energy consumption. It is suitable for filter elements of various shapes, such as round, cylindrical, conical, corrugated, etc.
  • Sintered wire mesh is easy to process and is suitable for processing conditions such as cutting, stamping, bending, welding, etc.
  • Sintered wire mesh is also easy to clean, especially suitable for backwashing, can be used repeatedly for a long time, and has a long life.

What is a sintered metal filter?

In industrial use, sintered mesh is usually processed into sintered filter elements or sintered filter sheets for use.

This is more suitable for the use environment and has better efficiency.
Because sintered mesh is easy to process and has high strength, it will also have good strength after being made into a filter element.

Generally speaking, we accept customized sintered wire mesh filter elements, which can be customized according to customer drawings or samples.

What is a sintered disc?

The sintered disc is a deep-processed product of sintered mesh, which can be processed into any shape and size.
Generally speaking, there are sintered wire mesh discs and powder sintered discs.

Materials include SUS304, SUS316, SUS316L, SUS 904L, SAF2205, SAF2507, Monel 400, Inconel 600, Hastelloy C-276, Titanium

The filtration accuracy of sintered mesh is 1-100 microns
The filtration accuracy of powder sintering is 0.1-100 microns

The sintered disc has excellent filtration accuracy, filtration impedance, mechanical strength, wear resistance, and heat resistance.

How to clean a sintered wire mesh / sintered metal filter / sintered disc?

  • Pyrolysis burnout: Any organic contaminants in the sintered filter will be burned off at high temperatures.
  • Ultrasonic cleaning: The filter is placed in a water tank filled with cleaning fluid using ultrasonic vibrations to remove contaminants from the filter surface.
  • Chemical flushing: Chemical cleaning agents are used to dissolve contaminants.
  • For decarbonization and filtration in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, backwashing and ultrasonic cleaning should be used frequently.
  • In the water industry, since the surface of the filter element is mostly non-water-soluble salts and oxides, it is generally cleaned by soaking in 5% nitric acid.
