Process for making adhesive bonded sintered plates

The method of manufacturing an adhesive bonded sintered plate, comprising the steps of

• cleaning metal cores of irregularities;
• roughening a surface of said metal cores to prepare said metal cores for bonding;
• applying thermosetting adhesive layers to said metal cores;
• applying sintered linings to said thermosetting adhesive layers;
• bonding said sintered linings to said thermosetting adhesive layers and said metal cores at a bonding pressure, bonding temperature and a bonding time, wherein
• a. said bonding pressure is in the range of 25 to 1000 psi;
• b. said bonding temperature is in the range of 375 degrees Fahrenheit to 475 degrees Fahrenheit;
• c. said bonding time is at least 30 seconds.

An adhesive bonded sintered plate comprising

• a top sintered layer;
• a bottom sintered layer;
• a top adhesive layer;
• a bottom adhesive layer;
• a metal core layer;
• wherein said top sintered layer is attached to said metal core layer using said top adhesive layer and said bottom sintered layer is attached to said metal core layer using said bottom adhesive layer.
