  • One aspect of the present invention is based on a finding by the inventors that the structure of a metallic catalytic converter body can be improved by allowing the metal sheets, referred to as foil leaf core elements or foil leaves, to be compliant, move, flex, or float in the fluid stream. Whereas it was previously thought that rigidity was essential to prevent failure in the "Hot Tests, " it has been discovered that flexure or compliance of the foil heat core elements in response to thermal and fluid flow variations as well as mechanical vibration were desirable attributes in converter bodies used in various applications. This discovery has given rise to what is termed a "cantilever" converter body, namely, one in which the foil leaf elements forming the core are secured at one end only or are secured at their second end in a manner, so the individual foil leaf core elements are
