- the Reynolds number is partially increased at the holes, and turbulence is likely to be generated. As a result, the purification performance is improved.
- excessive turbulence is not preferable because it causes an increase in pressure loss.
- excessive turbulence is suppressed by limiting the hole diameter and aperture ratio of the holes 8 to a predetermined range, and by limiting the height of the burrs to a small height. Kaeri's spark effect compensates for the decrease in This point will be described later in detail.
- burr 2A embedded in the catalyst layer 20 is formed extending in the circumferential direction.
- a burr 3A embedded in the catalyst layer 20 is formed extending in the circumferential direction.
- the burrs 2A and 3A are protrusions that are naturally formed when holes are made in the metal foil using a hole punching tool, and are also called burrs. Since burrs are generally unnecessary projections, they are removed in the deburring process, but in the present invention, by performing the shape adjustment process, they are left as structures for improving purification performance.

By suppressing the thickness of the oxide film to 2 ⁇ m or less, deterioration in durability of the flat foil 2 and the corrugated foil 3 can be suppressed. The thickness of the oxide film increases as the content of aluminum contained in the stainless steel foil increases.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional photograph of a burr before shape adjustment (in other words, a burr immediately after punching).
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional photograph of a burr after shape adjustment.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the tip surface of the burr extending around the hole.
- the tip surfaces of burrs 2A and 3A extend in a direction perpendicular to the projecting direction of the burrs (thickness direction of the metal foil).
- the term “extends” means, as shown by hatching in FIG. The degree of spread is not necessarily uniform. Further, the tip surfaces of the burrs 2A and 3A may be flat, or may be formed with fine irregularities.
- the burrs 2A and 3A are formed with a draw shape portion 50.
- the width of the tip face is P1 and the width of the draw shape portion 50 is P2, P1 and P2 are large and small.
- the relationship is P1>P2.
- the width is the width of the hole 8 in the radial direction.
- the shape of the reference numeral 50 is similar to the shape formed by drawing, so the name of the drawing shape portion is given, but the processing process of the drawing shape portion is not limited to drawing. .
- the constriction shape portion 50 can be rephrased as a “constriction shape portion”.
- the purification performance of the catalytic converter 1 can be improved.
- the reason is presumed as follows.
- the small burrs 2A and 3A have small heat capacities and tend to rise in temperature when the exhaust gas flows in.
- they since they are buried in the catalyst layer 20, it is difficult for the accumulated heat to be removed by the air. Therefore, the temperature of the spread of the catalytic reaction region starting from the burrs is lowered, and the catalytic reaction of the honeycomb body 4 as a whole is activated.
- the catalyst supported on the burrs and their surroundings becomes a spark that determines the start and end of the catalytic reaction, and the catalytic reaction can be activated early by lowering the temperature of the generation and disappearance of the spark.
- the effect of the burrs 2A and 3A is also referred to as a spark effect.
- the average height of burrs 2A and 3A after shape adjustment (hereinafter also referred to as average burr height L) is 0.1 ⁇ m or more and 30 ⁇ m or less, preferably 0.5 ⁇ m or more and 20 ⁇ m or less.
- the average burr height L When the average burr height L is reduced to less than 0.1 ⁇ m, the heat energy stored in the burrs 2A and 3A becomes too small, and the spark effect cannot be fully realized.
- the average burr height L exceeds 30 ⁇ m, the tip portions of the burrs 2A and 3A that penetrate the catalyst layer 20 come into contact with the air and remove heat. The contact creates turbulence and increases pressure loss.
- the average burr height L By limiting the average burr height L to 0.5 ⁇ m or more and 20 ⁇ m or less, it becomes easier to obtain the above-described spark effect.
- FIG. 6 is a plan view of the catalytic converter 1 viewed from the axial direction.
- the average burr height L is obtained by cutting the catalytic converter 1 along a plane ("CS" indicated by a dotted line) including the central axis, and image analysis of the height of each burr appearing on the cut surface. can be obtained by summing these measured values and dividing the sum by the number of times of measurement.
- the burr height can be obtained from the difference between the thickness of the metal foil and the length from one end of the metal foil in the thickness direction to the tip of the burr.
- the metal foil (the base material of the flat foil 2 or the corrugated foil 3) is imaged by an image dimension measuring device equipped with an imaging element (CMOS sensor or the like).
- the burr height of each hole 8 may be obtained by acquiring an image along the circumferential direction of the hole 8 .
- the average burr height L can be obtained by dividing the total value of the measured burr heights by the number of measurements.
- the burr height of each hole 8 formed in the metal foil may be obtained using a micrometer.
- the average burr height L can be obtained by dividing the total value of the measured burr heights by the number of measurements.
- FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the shape adjusting device viewed from the entrance side of the metal foil.

The viscosity of the washcoat liquid was appropriately adjusted so that the pores would not be clogged with the catalyst.
- the honeycomb body was heat-treated to form an oxide film before forming the catalyst layer.
- the heat treatment conditions were a heating temperature of 900° C. and a heating time of 2 hours.
- No. 1 and No. 3 had no burrs and had low purification performance (T80°C).
- the purification performance (T80°C) was high due to burrs, but catalyst deterioration was remarkably increased because there was no oxide film.
- the purification performance (T80°C) increased due to burrs, and catalyst deterioration was also suppressed.
- the pressure loss could be maintained at a low value.
- burrs protruded greatly from the catalyst layer (protrusion from the catalyst layer of 20 ⁇ m), turbulent flow was generated, pressure loss increased, and the purification performance (T80° C.) deteriorated due to a decrease in the torch effect.
- Example 2 Purification performance (T80°C), catalyst deterioration and pressure drop performance were evaluated by variously changing the thickness of the oxide film and the content of ⁇ -alumina.
- the thickness of the oxide film and the content of ⁇ -alumina were adjusted by adjusting the heat treatment conditions for forming the oxide film within the ranges of heating temperature: 1000° C. to 1100° C. and heating time: 5 min to 20 hours.

No. 42 and No. 44 had no burrs and had low purification performance (T80°C). In No. 43, the purification performance (T80°C) was high due to burrs, but catalyst deterioration was remarkably high because there was no oxide film. In No. 45 to No.
- Example 5 In this example, the test was conducted under the same conditions as in Example 2, except that the average burr height L was adjusted by a shape adjusting device. In No. 53, since the thickness of the oxide film was only 0.03 ⁇ m, the deterioration of the catalyst increased. In No. 59, since the thickness of the oxide film exceeded 2.0 ⁇ m, chipping of the foil occurred and T80° C. after aging could not be evaluated. It was found that by forming an oxide film containing at least 10% by mass of ⁇ -alumina to a thickness of 0.05 ⁇ m or more and 2 ⁇ m or less, purification performance can be enhanced, and pressure loss and catalyst deterioration can be reduced.
- Example 6 In this example, the test was conducted under the same conditions as in Example 3, except that the average burr height L was adjusted by a shape adjusting device. With reference to Nos. 65 to 71, it was found that the desired purification performance (T80° C.) can be ensured by imparting burrs even if the average pore diameter D is small. In No. 72, the average pore diameter D was excessively large and the total length of burrs was short, so the purification performance (T80°C) could not be improved. In No. 73, the aperture ratio was excessively small and the total length of burrs was shortened, so the purification performance (T80°C) could not be improved. In No. 82, since the aperture ratio exceeded 70%, chipping of the metal foil was observed after aging, and catalyst deterioration was not evaluated.
