Project is to adhere powder metal filters to wrought steel sheet goods, removing an additional assembly step in such a manner that full permeability of original filter is not degraded by process of fastening to wrought steel carrier, without distortion of the wrought material. Project is to fully document and correlate all attributes/results of the experimental process to determine scalability to larger/smaller filter sizes. Concurrently, investigation into potential markets for the filter assemblies along with investigation of other industries for the process.
