SINTERED METAL OBJECT COMPRISING METAL FIBERS

摘要

A sintered metal object comprises metal fibers in a nonwoven web arrangement. The metal fibers comprise stainless steel fibers having a duplex microstructure. The duplex microstructure is a mixed microstructure of austenite and ferrite. The stainless steel fibers are bonded at at least part of their contacting points by means of sinter bonds.
