A model for calculating the metal powder pressing process with a porogen is proposed. An approximate method and algorithm have been developed that make it possible to take into account the presence of a porogen in the calculation of the pressing process and reflect all types of bonds at the contact boundaries of metal powder particles. Based on the constructed model, an approximate method and algorithm for calculating the properties of powder filter material (PFM) produced by pressing granular metal powders using a porogen have been developed. The advantage of the proposed mathematical model is the possibility of its development to describe the sintering process, as well as the possibility of its use for calculating the modified elementary cells used by researchers in modeling the structure of PFM with a porogen.

A method of obtaining filter materials from metal powders intended to significantly improve the uniformity of properties along their working surface has been described. The method is easy to perform and is based on granulating the initial powders by the porogen through transferring it into an aqueous solution. It eliminates the segregation of porogen in the bulk of the charge during the implementation of technological operations and enables the automation of the pressing process.
