A porous sintered metal comprising voids at least partially communicating with each other, and pores provided in walls of the voids, the porous sintered metal having a BET surface area of 700 cm/cmor more, and an average diameter of the pores being 1 &#x3bc;m or more when measured by a mercury press-in method. The porous sintered metal is produced by blending a metal powder, a binder and resin particles to prepare a mixture in which the resin particles are dispersed; molding the mixture to provide a green body; selectively extracting the resin particles from the green body with a solvent; debinding the extracted green body by heating; and sintering the debound green body.

Porous sintered metal and filter thereof, and method for producing porous sintered metal

The compound roll having a shell portion made of a hard, high-alloy cast steel or iron having excellent wear resistance and resistance to surface roughening and a core portion made of a tough cast iron or cast steel, the cast iron of the shell portion having a composition consisting essentially, by weight ratio, of 1.0-3.0% of C, 2.0% or less of Si, 2.0% or less of Mn, 2.0-15.0% of Cr, 10.0% or less of Mo, 2.0-8.0% of V, the balance being substantially Fe and inevitable impurities, an average diameter of crystal grains constituting a matrix of the metal structure of the shell portion being 100 .mu.m or less in a range from a surface to a depth of 50 mm when determined by an image analysis method on the crystal grains having diameters exceeding 30 .mu.m, and the crystal grains satisfying the formula: m.sub.2 .ltoreq.1.2 m.sub.1, wherein m.sub.1 is an average diameter of the crystal grains at the surface of the shell portion, and m.sub.2 is an average diameter of the crystal grains at the depth of 50 mm, is produced by a centrifugal casting method which comprises supplying a melt for the shell portion at a temperature T satisfying the formula: Tc.ltoreq.T.ltoreq.Tc+90.degree. C., wherein Tc is a primary crystal-forming temperature of the melt for the shell portion, to a hollow cylindrical mold rotatable around its longitudinal axis, at such a speed that an average shell portion-forming speed in the mold is 2-40 mm/min.
