Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a honeycomb body (1) formed by winding around, stacking, and brazing metal flat foils (3) and corrugated foils (4), characterized by comprising the steps of applying adhesive agent to the brazed portions of the flat or corrugated foils corresponding to the connection part (17) at the end part of the honeycomb body and/or a cross sectional connection part (18) inside the honeycomb body apart axially from the end part, winding around the flat foils and corrugated foils to form a honeycomb body shape, bringing the portion of the honeycomb body end face corresponding to the connection part (16) over the entire axial length of the honeycomb body outer peripheral part into contact with the surface of binder liquid to suck the binder into the contact part (5) between the flat foils and the corrugated foils, and spraying wax powder over the honeycomb body to adhere the wax material onto the adhesive agent and binder adhered parts, whereby the equipment cost of a honeycomb body manufacturing device can be reduced and a measure against fire of the honeycomb body can also be taken without causing a defective coating and an increase in coating area found in the coating of adhesive agent with a roll.
Abstract:
A diffusion joining metal carrier formed by assembling a honeycomb body, constituted by alternately rolling or laminating wavy foil strips made of heat-resisting stainless steel containing aluminum and flat foil strips made of stainless steel, into a metal outer tube and integrating the assembly by diffusion joining, wherein the surface roughness of the foil strips after the diffusion joining is 0.001 to 2.0 νm in terms of center line average roughness Ra and opposite ends in the lengthwise direction of the diffusion joint portion are free from sintering bridge. A method of manufacturing the metal carrier within a condition range in which μb represented by μb=6.8x10?-12xδf-1xF1/2xRa-1/2xT1/4¿xexp(15000/T)xb1/2 is not less than 8 and not more than 20 under the condition, 7.52x109xexp(-35000/T)≥8xPout, provided that a foil thickness is δf(m), average foil surface roughness Ra(m), back tension when rolled up F(kgf), contact width between flat foil and wavy foil b(m), heat treating temperature T(K) and vacuum degree Pout (Pa).
Abstract:
The metal carrier for the exhaust gas purifying catalyst has durability that can endure the high-temperature and high-speed exhaust gas flow and that has anti-thermal-fatigue characteristics for withstanding rapid heating and cooling, and which excels in purifying performances. A metal carrier for an exhaust gas purifying catalyst is provided with a metal honeycomb member having a flat metal foil and a corrugate-processed metal foil piled and wound around in spiral form, and a metal outer tube surrounding this metal honeycomb member. A free-flat-foil is provided at the beginning of winding of the metal foil. And a tubular hollow portion of the honeycomb member in the radial or chord direction is processed either, or by pushing and pressurizing along the innermost circumference portion of the honeycomb member. When the outer diameter of the honeycomb member is ϕA, and the inner diameter thereof is ϕB, it is made to be ϕB ≤ 10/100 x ϕA.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Improvement in the engine durability and in the solid phase diffusion connectability of the contact part of a metal flat foil and a metal corrugated film from which a catalyst converter metal honey comb applied to the exhaust gas cleaning is made, characterized in that at least one of the foils has a thickness less than 40 νm and an A1 content after connection is not less than 3 %, and that the surface states in the width directions of both the metal films are formed in a required surface roughnesses or surface patterns, and that the width of the connection part of both the metal foils is not less than 5 times of the thickness of the metal foil. For effective practice of the above improvement, both the surface roughness and the regulation of thickness or either of them have to be selected. In order to improve the engine durability further, a non-connection part is provided in the honey comb element as described above and/or a shell is provided around the outside circumference of the honey comb element.
