Title: Method for producing a metallic substrate used for automobile exhaust gas purifying device

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5058989

This patent describes a method for producing a metallic substrate used for an automobile exhaust gas purifying device, the metallic substrate having a length necessary for the use and substantially consisting of a honeycomb and an outer sleeve, both of which extend along the entire length of the metallic substrate. The method comprises the steps of: preparing a heat-resisting steel member having a length and capable of containing therein easy-soluble material members and stainless steel members extending along the entire length thereof; densely filling the heat-resisting steel member with the easy-soluble material members extending along the entire length of the heat-resisting steel member and with the stainless steel members for separating the easy-soluble material members from each other over the entire length thereof, to form a filled body; hot-working the filled body to reduce the cross sectional area thereof at a reduction ratio necessary for achieving a metallic bond between the stainless steel members; cutting the filled body to a predetermined length sufficient for the metallic substrate; and removing the easy-soluble material from the filled body by at least one of a chemical and an electrochemical treatment for boring throughholes extending the entire length of the filled body to expose catalytic carrier-destined surfaces of the stainless steel.
