<p>A process for sealing a ceramic filter by infiltrating a metal into an end of the filter (210). The process includes the steps of contacting the end of a porous ceramic filter with a molten metal (380), whereby the metal enters into the ceramic matrix to substantially fill the void space. The ceramic filter is cooled to form a filter having an infiltrated composite portion (370). The present invention also provides a filter having an infiltrated metal seal (490). Methods for joining infiltrated ends are also provided.</p> |
