Model No.: FGYB5101
Stainless steel fiber felt is a high-performance industrial material made of micro-scale stainless steel fibers through non-woven web formation, multi-layer lamination, and high-temperature sintering processes. With its unique three-dimensional porous structure, it has become the preferred precision filtration and special functional material in the global industrial field. The product is manufactured in strict compliance with international standards, featuring both durability and versatility, and is widely suitable for various high-end industrial scenarios worldwide.
Sintered Metal Fiber Felt
Fibemas 316L Sintered Metal Fiber Felt is a porous metallic medium produced from micron-scale stainless steel fibers through non-woven web formation, multilayer lamination and high-temperature sintering. The bonded three-dimensional fiber network combines high porosity, good permeability and mechanical stability, making it suitable for demanding liquid and gas filtration processes.
Unlike woven wire mesh, which primarily captures particles on its surface, sintered metal fiber felt can retain contaminants throughout its porous depth. This structure increases dirt-holding capacity, slows the rise in differential pressure and supports longer operating cycles. Its all-metal construction also provides reliable performance in high-temperature, corrosive and vibration-prone environments.

Fine 316L stainless steel fibers are randomly laid into a web and laminated to form the required thickness and pore distribution. During sintering, contact points between the fibers are metallurgically bonded without converting the structure into a solid sheet.
The resulting pore network creates multiple flow paths through the material. Larger particles are retained near the upstream region, while smaller contaminants can be captured deeper inside the media. This depth-filtration mechanism offers several practical advantages:
Higher contaminant capacity than a single-layer woven metal mesh
High flow capacity at a relatively low pressure drop
Stable pore structure under vibration and fluctuating process conditions
Reduced risk of fiber migration
Longer filtration cycles before cleaning is required

Stainless steel fiber felt has five core advantages:
① High porosity and large specific surface area design, ensuring large dirt-holding capacity and high filtration precision with a filtration efficiency of over 99.9%;
② Excellent mechanical strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance, maintaining structural stability in extreme environments;
③ Outstanding air permeability, maintaining high flow rate under low pressure difference, resulting in lower operating energy consumption;
④ Reusable after cleaning and regeneration, with a service life 3-5 times that of traditional filter materials, reducing overall costs;
⑤ Uniform and dense structure, no risk of fiber shedding, suitable for the strict requirements of precision industrial scenarios.
