5-Layer Sintered Wire Mesh
5-layer sintered wire mesh is a standard and widely used type of sintered metal mesh. Sintering is a process that improves the characteristics of woven wire mesh by bonding the contact points of all the wires together to form a mesh whose wires are securely fused in place. This is achieved through a combination of heat and pressure, and the result is a single-layer sintered wire mesh.
To create our 5-layer laminate a single layer of fine woven wire mesh is placed between two layers of coarser square woven meshes, which is then added to two layers of a strong Dutch woven wire mesh and sintered together to form a strong plate. The single layer of fine woven wire mesh acts as the filtration layer and can be customized to meet a particular filtration rating, ranging from 1 micron to 200 microns.
These layers generally consist of 316L stainless steel wire mesh, but special alloys such as Hastelloy®, Monel®, Inconel®, Alloy 20, etc. can be incorporated as well.
Our standard size of 5-layer sintered wire mesh is a 2’x4′ or 4’x4′ sheet, but different size discs, tubes, larger sheets, and cones can be fabricated.
Uses for 5-Layer Sintered Wire Mesh
Lawrence Sintered Metals 5-layer sintered wire mesh has been used in many industries including pharmaceuticals, chemical processing, food and beverage, and transportation. Applications using this type of metal mesh include gas sparging, fluidized beds, liquid and gas filtration, Nutsche filters, pharmaceutical processing, centrifuges, and a variety of others.
