What is a Metallic Filter?

A metallic filter is a filtration system made from materials like stainless steel, titanium, or Hastelloy C276/C22. These filters are designed to remove impurities, particles, or unwanted substances from liquid and gas. Metal filters are lightweight and have unique physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Available in different shapes, sizes, and pore sizes. These filters can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing operational costs. By eliminating the need for frequent replacements, they offer a long service life.

What materials are used in metal filters?

Metal filters are primarily composed of stainless steel, titanium, hastelloy, and other similar materials, which are widely recognized for their effectiveness and versatility in various filtration applications.

Powder Sintered

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is a popular choice for metal filters due to its corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to withstand high temperatures. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including air and water filtration systems, automotive engines, and industrial processes.

Powder Sintered

Titanium

Titanium filters are lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for applications in aerospace, medical devices, and marine environments where strength-to-weight ratio is critical. The chloride ion resistance is also an important feature of titanium sintered filters.

Multilayered Sintered

Hastelloy C276/22

Hastelloy C276 or C22 are used as filter media due to their exceptional corrosion resistance. These alloys are particularly well-suited for applications where exposure to corrosive chemicals or extreme temperatures is needed, making them ideal choices for critical filtration applications in industries such as chemical



Filter Media Used in Metallic Filters

Powder sintered filters

Filter elements are made using a method called cold isostatic pressing. Here's how it works: metal powder is put into a tool that squeezes it using high pressure. The compact is then taken out of the tool and put in a furnace, where the sintering cycle is carried out. This makes the metal particles stick together tightly, forming a single, interconnected piece.



Multilayered sintered metal filters

These filters are created by sintering multiple layers of woven metal mesh, rolled to the desired thickness. The filtration rating is determined by the pore size of the controlling layer, which depends on the quality and fineness of the weaving. Typically, the filter element is housed in a metal frame for support and protection, with connections for attaching the filter to other equipment.



Applications of Metallic Filters

  • Air Filtration: Removes dust and contaminants in lab equipment and air systems.
  • Water Purification: Clears impurities like sediment and bacteria in treatment plants, and industries.
  • Automotive Engines: Protects engines by filtering oil and air to improve performance.
  • Flame Arrestors: Prevents flame propagation using sintered metal filters.
  • Pharmaceutical Production: Ensures drug purity while generating contaminant-free steam for efficient equipment sterilization.

FAQs

What are metal filters used for?

Metal filters are used to remove contaminants from liquids and gas, ensuring purity and protecting equipment in industries like chemical processing, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals.

How are metal filters made?

Metal filters are created by compressing metal powder into a mold under high pressure at room temperature. The pressure applied depends on the metal's elasticity. This compaction process solidifies the powder, forming a durable and efficient filter structure.

Are metal filters reusable?

Yes, metal filters are washable, reusable, and lightweight. They perform well in high-moisture and high-temperature environments. Cleaning the filter and applying an adhesive spray restores its high dust-holding capacity, making it a cost-effective and sustainable filtration solution.
