摘要 |
The invention relates to a honeycomb element (1), especially for use in the exhaust gas system of a motor vehicle, comprising an at least partly ceramic honeycomb structure (2) in an enveloping tube (3). Said honeycomb structure (2) can be penetrated by a fluid and is provided with hollow spaces (4). The invention is characterized in that the honeycomb element (1) encompasses at least two axial subareas (11, 12, 13) in a longitudinal direction (10). The honeycomb structure (2) is connected to the enveloping tube (3) in an axial fastening area (11) while an axial sensor area (12) is embodied with a recess (14) for accommodating a sensor (8) in the honeycomb structure (2). The inventive honeycomb element (1) is provided with a durable connection between the enveloping tube (3) and the ceramic honeycomb structure (2) as a result of the preferably non-positive and/or positive joint between the enveloping tube (3) and the honeycomb structure (2) in the fastening area (11), further damage to the honeycomb structure (12) in the sensor area (12) being advantageously prevented in spite of the embodied recess (14). |
