<p>PURPOSE: To provide a metal carrier having high freedom by a simple method by providing an intermediate body between an outer cylinder and a honeycomb body in a structure in which the honeycomb body of the metal carrier is bonded entirely or the temperature variation of exhaust gas is large and high durability is not obtained. CONSTITUTION: As a metal carrier of good durability, plane foils and corrugated foils are wound or laminated alternately to form a honeycomb body 4, and then a sheet of same thickness as that of foils or thicker is wound on the outside of the body twice or more to form an intermediate body 5. The inner face of the intermediate body 5 and the outer face of the honeycomb body 1 are continuously or intermittently bonded one round, and the outer face of the intermediate body 5 is bonded with an outer cylinder 6 within one round, and also an unbonded layer of one round or more is formed in the intermediate body 5.</p> |
