In support of original equipment manufacturing business, you will order the raw materials from original manufacturers.
You will order for the metal powder materials that you need for the sintering process of sintered metal filter discs.
At times, you may have to make the metal powder personally through grinding, chemical decomposition, or atomization.
Depending on the type of materials you need, you can decide to make alloys by mixing different metal powders.
In the long run, the materials will maintain the physical properties even after completion of the manufacturing process.
You will pour the metal powder into a die which will cast it into the shape of a disc even though the design may vary.
Here, you will subject the metal powder in the die under very high pressure under considerable room temperatures.
You should note that different metal powders have varying malleable degrees thus affecting the pressure requirements.
Implying that you will subject different types of metal powders under varying pressure conditions for best results.
Compaction will occur within the die where the metal powders will consolidate to form a solid filter disc.
Finally, you will remove the solid-state metal filter from the die and place it on a furnace for proper heating.
The metals will fuse together without melting and so you must set the temperatures at lower levels.
It will lead to the formation of high strength, porous and rigid filters in the shape of a disc.

How Does Sintered Metal Filter Disc Work?
Well, the working principle of the sintered metal filter discs is dependent on the pore size and flow pressure.
Basically, you will allow the fluid that you intend to filter to flow through the filtration sections of the sintered metal filters.
As it flows, the pressure of the fluid will force the fluid to pass through the pores within the sintered metal filter discs.
Since the fluids have smaller particle sizes, they will pass through the pores easily with very minimal disturbance.
On the other hand, the contaminants within the fluid will have great hindrance and opposition due to the unmatched pore sizes.
Implying that, the contaminants will not pass-through sintered metal filter disks due to large diameter sizes.
In the end, the fluid will pass through the sintered metal filter discs without the contaminants.
You should also expect a pressure drop within the filtration process as it passes through the sintered metal filter discs.
