ABSTRACT

The SFF-made cylinder is shown in the Fig. 2. As seen, the apparent integrity is achieved in the fabricated part.

3.1 Porosimetry

The porosity of both SFF-made and CS-made CPP samples were measured equal to 35% by mercury intrusion porosimeter. The experiment also revealed that the pore size distribution is incredibly different between SFF and CS samples although they have an identical porosity. As shown in Fig. 3. SFF-made CPP structure comprise not only wider range of pore size (10-300 vs. 5-230 μm) but also higher average pore size (50 vs. 33 μm).
