MOTT WORKS WITH AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
TO PROVIDE POROUS METAL PRODUCTS

FARMINGTON, CT, November 2008 – With almost 50 years as the world’s largest dedicated manufacturer of porous metal, Mott Corporation has worked with a variety of Aerospace designers, engineers and manufacturers to integrate porous metal into their systems here on earth, as well as in outer space.

Porous metal offers the structural integrity of steel and various degrees of porosity allowing engineers the ability to design around issues that affect other materials such as high pressures, extreme temperatures and thermal cycles, dynamic operating conditions, or corrosive operating environments. Aerospace manufacturers need to be precise in their requirements and confident in their choices. Mott porous metal has been a proven staple for gas flow restriction and surge protection, filtration to prevent clogging of downstream instrumentation, and pressure stabilizers and vents for sensitive system environments. Different environments require different alloys. Mott offers a wide range of materials including 316LSS, titanium, nickel, Hastelloy® , and Inconel® just to name a few.

Sandy McKean, Regional Sales Engineer for Mott Corporation notes, “The International Space Station is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary. It’s exciting to know that Mott ingenuity has played a part in the filtration for the onboard air monitoring system. Such seemingly small porous metal devices, manage such important contributions. It really is amazing.

For applications requiring a sturdy, durable media that provides flow control, particle capture, venting or gas to liquid contacting, Mott’s porous metal is the engineered solution that meets the grade. The Company has design teams that continually engineer porous metal components, sub-assemblies and finished products for applications in a wide variety of industries, including biotechnology, medical, chemical, petrochemical, instrumentation, fuel cells, food and beverage, semiconductor, and power and energy.

Mott can also provide clean room processing and packaging in their state-of-the-art Class 100 and Class 10,000 clean rooms.
