は摩耗するという問題点がある。In recent years, further reduction of exhaust gas has been demanded, and in response to this, higher output and higher temperature combustion of the engine have been promoted. In addition, since the catalyst does not work when it is cold, the catalyst converter is often placed immediately below the engine where the exhaust gas temperature is high in order to raise the temperature of the catalyst early and activate it after the start of the engine. Is being exposed to The conventional catalytic converter 50 shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), the outer peripheral surface 52a of the ceramic honeycomb structure 52 is formed smoothly by extrusion, so that when the metal container 53 expands due to high-temperature exhaust gas, the ceramic honeycomb structure 52 has low thermal expansion. For this reason, the compressed state of the gripping member 53 is relaxed, and the gripping force of the ceramic honeycomb structure 52 is reduced. When the ceramic honeycomb structure 52 is disposed substantially upright, the ceramic honeycomb structure 52 cannot be completely restrained on the outer peripheral surface 52a and moves away from the gripping member 53 due to vibration of the engine and the like.
There is a problem that it is damaged or worn out early due to collision and friction with the cone portion 51c.

When the maximum height of the unevenness is less than 5 μm, the gripping force is small. On the other hand, when the maximum height of the unevenness exceeds 500 μm, a portion where the ceramic honeycomb structure does not come into contact with the gripping member is formed, and conversely, the gripping force is reduced. If the irregularities formed on the ceramic honeycomb structure are made substantially uniform in each cross section perpendicular to the flow direction of the honeycomb, even if the ceramic honeycomb structure vibrates in the circumferential direction due to the flow of gas, the inside of the metal container is not affected.

摩擦による摩耗を少なくできる。The ceramic honeycomb structure of the present invention has the following features.
Even if the metal container expands due to the high-temperature exhaust gas, the gripping force of the gripping member does not decrease. For example, the ceramic honeycomb structure does not separate due to engine vibration or the like, and wear due to friction with the metal container can be reduced.
