A method is provided for producing a metallic catalyst support. In producing the metallic catalyst support, a first metal foil having a planar profile or slightly corrugated profile, a second metal foil having a corrugated profile and an external cylinder are prepared. The first and second metal foils are rolled up in a multilayered superimposed state to form a honeycomb body with a spiral roll form. The honeycomb body is fitted into the external cylinder, which has an inside diameter larger than an outside diameter of the honeycomb body. Pressure is simultaneously applied to the external cylinder into which the honeycomb body has been fitted and to the honeycomb body from outside towards inside of the external cylinder to squeeze-down and to induce plastic deformation in an outside edge section of the honeycomb body so that tight contact is made with the external cylinder. |
