Abstract
The present work focuses on establishing an
actual manufacturing strategy that is suitable for the viable
production of a substrate support for a palladium
membrane; one that will lower production costs and be
utilised to gain a competitive edge within the industry.
Porous stainless steel supports for palladium membranes
were produced using various types of stainless steel powders
and methods. Observations indicate that SS powder 410L
type Chengdu Huarui with particle sizes 1-5 μm, sintered in
the HPT induction furnace at temperatures between 930-
950°C for a period of 8 minutes, in the presence of argon
flow and vacuum, creates a first-class Pd membrane
substrate. Notwithstanding that this result is the most
economical method. The results of the study were based on
the: roughness test, first bubble point test, and scanning
electron microscope (SEM). The Chengdu Huarui powder
type 410 L – 1-5 μm, which achieved the best results,
produced a roughness test result of Ra 0.614 μm, and a
bubble point pore size is 1.992 μm.
