Abstract:
A process for producing a metallic layer includes forming structures at least in subregions of the metallic layer. The structures have corrugation troughs and corrugation peaks, an upper bearing surface formed at least in part from the peaks, and a lower bearing surface formed at least in part from the troughs. The metallic layer is formed with at least a first region having a first thickness and a second region having a second thickness, different than the first thickness. The structures are formed, in longitudinal direction, independently of the thickness, with at least one of the upper and lower bearing surfaces in the regions being substantially aligned in longitudinal direction in vicinity of at least one of the peaks and the troughs. A metallic layer with regions of varying material thickness and a honeycomb body produced at least partly from such metallic layers, are also provided.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas filter for cleaning an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine includes at least one strip-shaped filter layer made of a material through which a fluid can at least partly flow. The filter layer has a length in a longitudinal direction and a width in a transverse direction. The filter layer has a metallic reinforcing region at least in a partial region. The metallic reinforcing region has a width and a length. The width of the reinforcing region is less than the width of the filter layer and/or the length of the reinforcing region is less than the length of the filter layer. A method for producing a filter layer for an exhaust gas filter is also provided.
