Sintered Laminates

Sintered laminates are high-strength porous materials. They are manufactured from stainless steel and other alloys. Multiple layers of wire mesh are permanently bonded through a diffusion binding process (sintering).

The resulting material exhibits increased strength, wear resistance and improved filtration properties. Testing has recorded increases of approximately 30% in mechanical strength and 20% in wear resistance compared to a single layer of fine mesh.

Main Features of Sintered Laminates:

Composite Strength: Sintered laminates combine the properties of several components. Their composite structure yields an overall strength increase of about 20–25% compared with individual materials.

Customisable Composition: These laminates allow multiple material combinations. This enables precise adaptation to specific mechanical, thermal or electrical requirements.

High Precision: The sintering process ensures a close bond between layers. This produces laminates with consistent properties, tight tolerances and minimal defects.

Enhanced Material Properties: In comparison to single materials, sintered laminates may demonstrate up to 15% higher hardness and 10% improved wear resistance. Measured tests confirm increased thermal conductivity as well.

Design Flexibility: Engineers can develop unique material combinations. This approach enables the design of products that meet strict performance criteria.

Applications of Sintered Laminates:

Automotive Industry: Sintered laminates are used in engine components, braking systems and transmission parts. They have been shown to extend component longevity by around 15% and maintain performance under thermal stress.

Electronics: They are employed in high-frequency circuit boards, heat sinks and electrical insulators. Testing has indicated up to a 10% increase in thermal conductivity in these applications.

Tool and Cutting Applications: Sintered laminates extend tool life and improve cutting performance. Studies have measured an increase in tool lifespan of approximately 12%.

Aerospace: These laminates contribute to the production of lightweight yet sturdy components for aerospace. Their use has resulted in fuel efficiency improvements of between 5 and 8% in controlled tests.

Medical Devices: Sintered laminates are utilised in medical instruments, implants and diagnostic devices. They provide enhanced biocompatibility and have demonstrated up to a 10% increase in operational life.
