HONEYCOMB BODY HAVING RADIALLY DIFFERENTLY CONFIGURED CONNECTING POINTS

摘要

A honeycomb body includes a housing and a honeycomb structure with a plurality of channels. The honeycomb structure is formed by at least one at least partially structured metallic layer which forms connecting points that fix the honeycomb structure in place. A cross section of the honeycomb structure has radial zones with the connecting points. At least 1% and no more than 20% of inner contact points of the at least one at least partially structured metallic layer in the cross section form a connecting point in at least one zone. The connecting points have lengths in a structure direction being different in at least two radial zones.
