Abstract
Various factors which have an important economic bearing upon the production of sintered porous media are reviewed. In particular, reference is made to the manufacture of porous media from: (a) spherical powder, (b) irregular powder, (c) wire, (d) fibres, and also combinations of these materials. Processes considered include: (1) gravity sintering, (2) pressure sintering, (3) press compaction and sintering, (4) roll compaction and sintering. Consideration is also given to the fabrication of porous media.
The significance of various economic factors is discussed in relation to end-product properties and applications.
