Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A porous sintered body, with good resistance to corrosion and with a pore volume which can be predetermined within given narrow limits, produced by loose sintering of a spherical powder of stainless steel at a sintering temperature between 1200° C. and 1600° C., wherein said stainless steel has a ferritic-austenitic structure at room temperature and a ferritic structure at the sintering temperature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
A porous sintered body, with good resistance to corrosion and with a pore volume which can be predetermined within given narrow limits, produced by loose sintering of a spherical powder of stainless steel at a sintering temperature between 1200° C. and 1600° C., wherein said stainless steel has a ferritic-austenitic structure at room temperature and a ferritic structure at the sintering temperature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The sintered body as claimed in claim 1, wherein said sintered body is a filter material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The sintered body as claimed in claim 1, wherein said sintered body is a filter.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
The sintered body as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ferritic-austenitic steel has the composition C:0.1% maximum, Cr: 18-26%, Ni: 2-8%, Mo: 6% maximum, other alloying substances totalling not more than 5%, the balance being iron and impurities in normal amounts.
