<p>The invention provides a metallic carrier having a good economical efficiency and various good properties such as durability, capability of exhaust gas purification and the like as compared with conventional, expensive metallic carriers having as a main constituent element a metallic honeycomb body of a honeycomb construction which uses a band material (foil material) in the form of a flat plate and/or a corrugated plate or metallic carriers of a honeycomb construction which comprise small diameter tubes closely-packed in a metallic casing. More specifically, in the invention, the metallic carrier for carrying an exhaust gas purifying catalyst comprises: (i) a cylindrical-shaped metallic casing; (ii) a desired number of small diameter open tubes having a cross section of an arbitrary shape and provided in said metallic casing; and (iii) a metallic wire for arranging and securing said small diameter open tubes in said metallic casing.</p> |
