A catalyst carrier body includes a honeycomb body having sheet-metal layers and an axial extent. The sheet-metal layers are at least partly structured in such a way that the honeycomb body has passages through which an exhaust gas can flow. The sheet-metal layers of the honeycomb body have end regions lying radially outwardly. A tubular jacket has an edge and an axial span shorter than the axial extent of the honeycomb body. The tubular jacket is connected to the honeycomb body in at least one axial partial-region by a joining technique. A sleeve has an axial length shorter than the axial extent of the honeycomb body and is disposed on an outer region of the honeycomb body, in the vicinity of an end surface. The sleeve has an inner shell surface connected by a joining technique to the end regions of the sheet-metal layers at the end surfaces. The honeycomb body projects beyond an edge of the tubular jacket in a projecting section surrounded by the sleeve. In this way, stresses between the honeycomb body and the tubular jacket are avoided even with high thermal loads on the catalyst carrier body. A catalytic converter having the catalyst carrier body is also provided.

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.

A method and an apparatus are provided for automatically determining an area-related cell density of a cell structure of a honeycomb body having a plurality of passages that are open-ended at an end of the honeycomb body at which the cell structure is visible. An image which has a known or ascertainable image scale of at least a portion of the cell structure is recorded with an optical instrument and the image is processed. In the image processing operation the number of cells is established by counting cells and the cell density is calculated by relating the number of cells to a reference area established through the use of the image scale. The cell density can be rapidly and accurately determined in such a way particularly when using computer-aided image processing. Therefore, production errors can be quickly detected and costs can be saved in that manner.

An apparatus and a process produce a honeycomb body from at least one stack having a multiplicity of at least partially structured sheets which form a multiplicity of passages through which a fluid can flow. The apparatus includes a fork-shaped winding device which is rotatable about an axis and which engages each stack, as well as former segments which close to constitute a former. The former is formed from at least two former segments. Each former segment is pivotable in opposite relationship to the direction of rotation of the winding device about a respective pivot axis which respectively extends parallel to the axis of the winding device.
摘要:
A honeycomb body is produced in which metal sheets are stacked and/or wound in a layered configuration. The metal sheets are suitably structured so as to form passages through which a fluid can flow. At least a part of the sheet layers initially comprises a laminate material with a layer of chromium-containing steel and a layer primarily formed of aluminum. The laminate is substantially homogenized by diffusion to a stratified sheet in a subsequent heat treatment. The honeycomb body is assembled with at least a part of the sheet layers provided a structure which increases the degree of elasticity of the honeycomb body and/or the pressure in relation to surface area of the contact locations prior to and in the heat treatment. The honeycomb body is fitted into a tubular casing with such a prestressing that in the heat treatment the contact locations between the sheet layers remain in contact.
摘要:
A process and a device are provided for manufacturing a honeycomb body from at least one metal foil constructed from at least two different layers, in particular from steel roll-bonded with aluminum. The metal foil is at least partly provided with a structure through the use of shaping, and is then layered or laminated or wound into honeycomb body. The metal foil is heat-treated with resistance heat generated within the foil before shaping. The heating is preferably carried out through the use of induction coils. In this way the capacity for cold shaping is increased and where required an oxide layer can be produced in a defined atmosphere. The invention reduces the energy and apparatus costs and permits economical manufacture of high-quality honeycomb bodies, in particular with microstructures increasing effectiveness.
摘要:
A honeycomb body has a plurality of at least partially structured sheet metal layers forming a plurality of passages through which a fluid can pass. The sheet metal is plastically deformed in a region of a mandrel passage whose cross-section is substantially determined by a mandrel of a winding device with which the honeycomb is formed. The free flow cross-section of the mandrel passage is closed at least in a portion of the passage along the flow direction by deforming the sheet metal with a deformation punch. The deformation punch has an end portion with a sharp-edged rim.
摘要:
A process to produce a honeycomb body having a multiplicity of at least partially structured sheet metal layers forming a multiplicity of fluid-permeable passages. A fork-like intertwining device is rotatable about a central axis and engages each stack. A former surrounds the intertwining device and has an inner contour corresponding to an outer contour of the honeycomb body to be produced. At least one opening in a wall of the former for stack ends extends substantially parallel to the central axis. In a production of the honeycomb body, at least one stack is layered from a multiplicity of at least partially structured sheet metal layers. Each stack is introduced into a former corresponding to the external shape of the honeycomb body to be produced, with at least one end of each stack projecting out of the former through at least one opening. Each stack is held by an intertwining device rotatable about a central axis, in a central region. Each stack is intertwined by rotation of the intertwining device relative to the former to form a honeycomb body, with the stack ends being pulled into the former until the stacks fill the entire former.
