Abstract

The invention provides a process for modifying a ceramic and/or metallic porous material having open cells necessary for the material to serve the function of gas diffusing materials, filters or the like. The porous material is subjected to hot isostatic pressing at a temperature at which the base portion of the porous material softens or melts to compact or homogenize the base portion.
