Abstract:
An apparatus for winding at least partially structured metal foils into a honeycomb structure includes at least one wrap-around mandrel in a central region of the apparatus having a receiving part for at least one metal foil, at least one shaping segment having at least one guide element for guiding the at least one metal foil during winding, and at least one pivotable clamping jaw. The at least one guide element has at least one roll body. A process for producing a honeycomb body, especially a large honeycomb body, with at least partially structured metal foils, a honeycomb structure produced by the apparatus or the process and a vehicle having the honeycomb structure, are also provided.
Abstract:
A catalyst carrier body includes at least one housing, a honeycomb body and a passivation layer which includes a multiplicity of separate crystal agglomerations with an averaged height lying in the range of 0.3 to 1.5 μm. Various production methods are proposed which are suitable, in particular, for producing such catalyst carrier bodies. Thus, the formation of the passivation layer takes place by the blending and/or mixing of an adhesive with a passivating substance and subsequently applying the adhesive, or by roughening a region using a blast-cutting manufacturing method with corundum particles being employed as the blasting medium. A barrier is thereby provided in a very simple and cost-effective way which, for example during the formation of brazed connections, prevents the then liquid brazing material from being distributed beyond the desired tying regions as a result of capillary effects.
Abstract:
A sheet-metal layer includes anti-diffusion structures made of a high-temperature-corrosion-resistant steel having a longitudinal direction, upper and lower surfaces, a thickness of 0.015 to 0.1 mm and discontinuous microstructures extending approximately in the longitudinal direction. The microstructures have a structure height (0.02 to 0.1 mm), a structure length (2 to 10 mm), a structure width (0.2 to 1 mm), a longitudinal spacing (greater than 2 mm), formed by interruptions, from the nearest microstructure aligned approximately in the longitudinal direction and a lateral distance (1 to 10 mm) from the nearest laterally adjacent microstructure. Some of the microstructures project out of the sheet-metal layer toward the upper surface and some toward the lower surface. The microstructures cause each straight theoretical line extending across the sheet-metal layer perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction to intersect at least two microstructures projecting toward the upper surface and two microstructures projecting toward the lower surface.
Abstract:
A honeycomb body includes two opposite end sides, at least one housing and at least one metallic layer forming channels. At least one of the end sides has at least one brazed zone forming a belt-shaped, brazing material-free zone adjacent the housing. A method for producing the honeycomb body, an exhaust-gas treatment component for an internal combustion engine and a motor vehicle having the honeycomb body, are also provided.
Abstract:
A honeycomb structure includes a plurality of substantially parallel channels, a layer of at least partially structured metal foils and a housing. The layer includes a number N of at least partially structured metal foils and a number N+1 of smooth metal foils. The number N=1, 2 or 3 and two of the smooth metal foils are exterior foils. A method for producing such a honeycomb structure is also provided. The honeycomb structure is used, in particular in exhaust gas systems of mobile internal combustion engines.
Abstract:
A conical honeycomb body and method for producing the honeycomb body that avoids the deformations occurring when fixing a conical lamellar body in a conical casing tube is described. Clamping aids are disposed in the casing tube at a distance from its openings and are configured such that at least in sections they have a ring shape. The clamping aids allow for the economical production of conical honeycomb bodies having greater mechanical strength. Their variants make it possible to influence the function of the edge area of the conical honeycomb body in a targeted manner. Especially beading, necking and/or rings achieve, for example, a barrier effect so that no fluids are able to circulate in the channels situated in the edge area of the casing tube. The openings of the casing tube are free of inserted elements and can therefore be easily welded to other components of the exhaust-gas system.

A method of use is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A method for generating openings in a metal foil includes at least the following steps: a) providing a planar metal foil, b) generating at least one bend in the metal foil, and c) generating at least one opening in the region of the at least one bend through the use of a cutting production process. Grinding tools are preferably used. A method for producing a honeycomb body, an exhaust gas treatment unit for mobile internal combustion engines having a honeycomb body and being produced by the method, as well as a motor vehicle, are also described.
