<p>A metallic catalyst carrier 2 has good productivity and improves the exhaust performance by causing the flow of exhaust gas therein to become turbulent, without causing tearing, cutting, and warping of its honeycomb-structure. The metallic catalyst carrier 2 has a base metal sheet 5 and a corrugated metal sheet 6 laminated together with a plurality of cell passages 7 formed between the base sheet 5 and the corrugated sheet 6 such that exhaust gases passes through the cell passages 7. The base sheet 5 or the corrugated sheet 6 is equipped with a plurality of hole lines 5a or 6a arranged along hole lines 8 or 9 in a direction perpendicular to the cell passage 7. Between adjacent hole lines 8 or 9, the holes 5a or 6a that form the hole lines 8 or 9 are separated by a prescribed distance in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal directions of the cell passages 7.</p> |
