Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently produce a high quality metallic carrier excellent in durability by applying a joining inhibitor to the prescribed positions of the inside of an outer tube or the prescribed positions of the outside of a honeycomb body, housing the honeycomb body in the outer tube and carrying out brazing so that unjoined parts are formed at the prescribed positions between the honeycomb body and the outer tube. CONSTITUTION:Flat sheets 1a and corrugated sheets 1b each made of a heat resistant metal are alternately laminated or a flat sheet 1a and a corrugated sheet 1b are superposed and wound. The resulting honeycomb body 1 is housed in an outer tube 2 to obtain a metallic carrier. At this time, a joining inhibitor is applied to the prescribed positions of the inside of the outer tube 2 or the prescribed positions of the outside of the honeycomb body 1, the honeycomb body 1 is housed in the outer tube 2 and brazing is carried out with a brazing filler metal 3 so that unjoined parts are formed at the prescribed positions between the honeycomb body 1 and the outer tube 2. The outside of the honeycomb body 1 is prevented from sticking to the inside of the outer tube 2 by a diffusion joining reaction, joining can be carried out only at the prescribed positions and the objective high quality metallic carrier excellent in durability is efficiently produced.

2. Description of the Related Art Various metal carriers for purifying exhaust gas have been developed, in which flat plates made of heat-resistant metal and corrugated plates are alternately laminated or stacked and then wound and a honeycomb body is housed in an outer cylinder. It has already been partially put into practical use. The honeycomb body is usually firmly bonded to the outer cylinder via a foil wax or a brazing agent attached to the outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb body. In this case, the both are bonded not to the entire outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb body. For example, it is common to join in a band shape only in the central portion. This means that if the entire outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb body is joined, the flexibility of the honeycomb body in the radial direction is hindered,
This is because it is necessary to prevent the phenomenon that the vicinity of both ends of the honeycomb body is destroyed due to the impact during use and the like.

However, when the honeycomb body is press-fitted into the outer cylinder, the reality is that the gap between the outer surface of the honeycomb body and the inner surface of the outer cylinder is extremely small, about several microns. Therefore, even if there is no foil brazing between the two, the phenomenon that a diffusion bonding reaction occurs between the outer surface of the honeycomb body and the inner surface of the outer cylinder during the brazing process performed at high temperature in the next step It happened a lot. As a result, there is a problem in that the flexibility of the honeycomb body in the radial direction is obstructed, cracks and the like are likely to occur, and the durability as a metal carrier decreases.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the honeycomb body 1 is pressed and housed in the outer cylinder 2 by a punch or the like (not shown) according to a conventional method, and the obtained product is placed in the heater 6. Transfer and heat treatment at a temperature above the melting point of the brazing agent (see Fig. 5)
A metal carrier is obtained by firmly brazing between the flat plate 1a and the corrugated plate 1b, and the predetermined outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb body 1 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 2. In the metal carrier thus obtained, the outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb body 1 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 2 are securely bonded only at a predetermined position where the foil brazing 3 is attached, and at other portions, a bonding inhibitor. Since the unbonded portion having a constant width in which the diffusion bonding of the both is prevented is secured by No. 4, the flexibility of the honeycomb body 1 in the radial direction is maintained, and cracks and the like do not occur during use. Will be of quality.

EXAMPLE A flat plate and a corrugated plate each having a thickness of 50 μm and a width of 100 mm are alternately stacked and then wound to form a honeycomb body having a predetermined size, and a foil brazing is applied to a lower portion of an outer peripheral surface where the honeycomb body is to be joined. Attached. On the other hand, diameter 85mm, length 10
An outer cylinder of 0 mm was prepared, and a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder which was not joined to the honeycomb body was coated with a joining inhibitor made of TiO 2 by a roller. Next, the honeycomb body was housed and integrated in an outer cylinder by a conventional method, and vacuum heat treatment was performed under various heat treatment conditions in a heater to braze and bond both. The portion of the metal carrier thus obtained, on which the foil brazing was not attached, was cut in the circumferential direction, and the results of examining the presence or absence of diffusion bonding between the outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb body and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder are shown. Shown in 1. On the other hand, the results obtained by investigating the metal carrier obtained without applying the above-mentioned bonding inhibitor under the same conditions are shown as comparative examples. In all of the comparative examples, the outer peripheral surface of the honeycomb body and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder are shown. The occurrence of bonding due to the diffusion bonding reaction was observed between the surface and the surface, whereas in the examples, the occurrence of bonding was completely prevented, confirming the excellent effect of the present invention.
