A honeycomb body is used, in particular, for an apparatus for the catalytic conversion of exhaust gases in an exhaust system, especially an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, preferably an Otto engine. The honeycomb body is surrounded by a smooth portion of a metal layer that extends over a part of an axial length of the honeycomb body. The layer is an integral component of the honeycomb body and is located in axial subregions between the honeycomb body and a jacket tube. Undesired brazed connections between the honeycomb body and the jacket tube are avoided in these axial subregions, regardless of the brazing material application method that is employed. |
