PCT No. PCT/BE93/00079 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 12, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 12, 1995 PCT Filed Dec. 9, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/14608 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 7, 1994A method for manufacturing a porous laminate includes continuously passing a laminate preform having a metal wire mesh and a metal non-woven fiber web superposed on the wire mesh between rotating pressure rollers having differing electrical potentials. The fibers of the non-woven web are sintered together at mutual points of contact and to the mesh by passing an electrical current cross-sectionally through the laminate preform in a zone of contact with the rollers, thereby forming the porous laminate.
