Infiltrant Wire
 Luvata, in partnership with Ultra Infiltrant, offers a patented alternative solution to problematic powder metal (PM) copper infiltrants. Ultra Infiltrant, manufactured by Luvata, is a wrought/wire infiltration process in which high-specification copper alloys are melted into sintered simple wire forms that are easy to handle and use.
These simple wire forms offer significant benefits over powder metal copper infiltrants:
- Easier handling
- Less waste
- Increased productivity
- Increased strength
Ultra Infiltrant eliminates the hassle of storing and handling bulky powder drums, while offering cost savings from the elimination of tooling, compacting presses, labor and overhead typically required to produce infiltrant slugs. Inventory and manufacturing losses associated with oxidation, contamination, segregation, residue and erosion are removed with the introduction of Ultra Infiltrant.
Ultra Infiltrant provides precise infiltrant weight control with uniform copper distribution and penetration during sintering resulting in a product with superior quality and strength. Ultra Infiltrant is available in a variety of sizes, shapes and diameters, customized to meet your exact specifications. Common current configurations include:
- Single wire rings
- Multi-turn wire rings
- Straight-length slugs
