Conventionally, automobile exhaust gas purification devices have used pellet-type catalysts in which noble catalytic metals such as platinum are impregnated and supported on the surface layer of activated alumina such as γ-alumina shaped into spheres. As shown in Japanese Patent No. 55-15387, a catalytic converter containing the above-mentioned pellet type catalyst has been proposed.

However, the above pellet type catalyst has a smaller coefficient of thermal expansion than the container of the catalytic converter, and as the temperature rises, a gap is created between the pellets and the container. Abrasion due to contact and a decrease in surface area and pore volume due to α-alumina formation occur, resulting in problems such as an increase in back pressure of the catalytic converter and a decrease in engine output.

Therefore, in order to solve the problems that occur with pellet-type catalysts, monolith-type catalysts have recently become mainstream.

However, the monolithic catalyst described above has excellent heat resistance and a small coefficient of thermal expansion, making it resistant to thermal shock. On the other hand, it has a rectifying effect, so the exhaust gas flowing through the catalyst easily becomes a laminar flow. Therefore, there is a problem that the entire catalyst does not function effectively.

Furthermore, since monolithic catalysts have a smaller surface area than pellet-type catalysts, they have problems such as affecting catalyst performance.

In such a configuration, metal powder such as iron powder or aluminum-containing stainless steel powder is sintered to form a porous metal pellet skeleton, and this is impregnated with alumina to form a pellet carrier. By molding a metal pellet type catalyst with precious metals supported on the surface of the catalytic converter container, the crushing strength of the pellets is improved and the problem of pellet cracking is solved in the catalytic converter using the above metal pellet type catalyst. The thermal expansion coefficients of the pellets and the pellets can be made to be approximately the same, reducing contact abrasion between the pellets due to thermal expansion and improving durability.
