Sintering can be used on most kinds of woven wire meshes. Sintered Wire Mesh bond all wires together at a specific temperature, to eliminate the migration of the medium. It can be bond at one time through the vacuum furnace sintering process. After the proper sintering, almost every point can be firmly fused, and even a circular hole can be generated from the mesh laminates without damage, which is crucial in many applications. For example, when it is used in medical filtration or plane hydraulic pressure fluid filtration, where the incompact wires can lead to catastrophic malfunction. In addition, once the sintered mesh wires are fused in place, the geometrical shape of gridding will be perpetually fixed. The wires can’t move under pressure. Therefore, the aperture size will remain stable in service.
The sintering process is also a procedure of heat treatment. If the process air and circulation are properly controlled, the sintered wire meshes will be bright and clean, and the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity will be increased. Formability and malleability will be remarkably improved, including the ability to shape-preserving and wrinkle preserving.
Another main purpose and benefit of the sintering process are creating new structure sheaf by pressing multiple wire mesh layers together to form various kinds of laminated materials or composite materials.
