Abstract

Abstract A metal-made carrier body is provided for carrying thereon an exhaust gas cleaning catalyst. The carrier body is formed by superposing a sheet-like metal band made of a thin metal sheet and a corrugated band made from another thin metal sheet one over the other in a contiguous relation into a multi-layered composite body defining many network-patterned gas flow passages along a central axis thereof and then enclosing the multi-layered composite body within a cylindrical metal casing. The cylindrical metal casing has a double-layer structure composed of an inner portion made of a metal material having a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of the constituent members of the multi-layered composite body and an outer portion made of another metal material having greater heat- and corrosion-resistance than the metal material of the inner portion.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 137 words
A metal-made carrier body for carrying thereon an exhaust gas cleaning catalyst, said carrier body having been formed by superposing a sheet-like metal band made of a thin metal sheet and a corrugated band made from another thin metal sheet one over the other in a contiguous relation into a multi-layered composite body defining many network-patterned gas flow passages along a central axis thereof, and then enclosing the multi-layered composite body within a cylindrical metal casing, characterized in that the cylindrical metal casing has a double-layer structure composed of an inner portion made of a metal material having a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of the constituent members of the multi-layered composite body and an outer portion made of another metal material having greater heat- and corrosion-resistance than the metal material of the inner portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 137 words
A metal-made carrier body for carrying thereon an exhaust gas cleaning catalyst, said carrier body having been formed by superposing a sheet-like metal band made of a thin metal sheet and a corrugated band made from another thin metal sheet one over the other in a contiguous relation into a multi-layered composite body defining many network-patterned gas flow passages along a central axis thereof, and then enclosing the multi-layered composite body within a cylindrical metal casing, characterized in that the cylindrical metal casing has a double-layer structure composed of an inner portion made of a metal material having a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of the constituent members of the multi-layered composite body and an outer portion made of another metal material having greater heat- and corrosion-resistance than the metal material of the inner portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 44 words
The metal-made carrier body as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cylindrical metal casing is made of a clad steel having ferritic stainless steel as the metal material of the inner portion and austenitic stainless steel as the metal material of the outer portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
The metal-made carrier body as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metal material of the inner portion of the cylindrical metal casing and the metal material of the outer portion thereof are brazed to each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
The metal-made carrier body as claimed in claim 1, wherein the multi-layered composite body is in a spiral form.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 19 words
The metal-made carrier body as claimed in claim 1, wherein the multi-layered composite body is in a laminate form.
