PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal catalyst carrier capable of mass-production hard to generate heat strain and having high durability. SOLUTION: A large number of metal flat plates 3 and metal corrugated plates 4 are alternately laminated to be welded and a pair of semi-columnar honeycomb semi-cylindrical bodies 2h are mutually abutted to each other in a slidable manner by metal flat plates 3 present on the flat surface side of them to constitute a columnar honeycomb cylindrical body 2 which is, in turn, inserted in a cylindrical housing under pressure along the inner peripheral surface thereof to weld the outer peripheral edges of both axial ends of the honeycomb cylindrical body 2 to the housing 5. The heat strain generated in the honeycomb cylindrical body 2 is absorbed by the sliding of the abutted surfaces of a pair of the honeycomb semi-cylindrical bodies 2h. |
