A novel process has been devised to produce porosity on the surface of 316L and CoCr. The porosity has been produced as a connected network with pore diameters of typically 1-10 micons. The thickness of the porous surface region is typically several pore diameters. The porous surface may be used in e.g. catalyst, heat transfer and drug/chemical carrier applications.
Summary: A novel process produces micronsized pores on 316L and CoCr
