Abstract

PURPOSE: To improve the purifying capability at the time of initial engine start by composing a carrier of a honeycomb body of heat-resistant stainless steel foil containing Al, setting the thickness of foil in the specified range, also setting durability at a specific temperature to be a specific or higher and specifying the relations between the Al content and thickness and between the Cr content and thickness. CONSTITUTION: A carrier of low thermal capacity and low back pressure for purifying exhaust gas is constituted based on conditions that the thickness t (μm) of a foil is set in the range of 17μm or more to 40μm or less and durability at 700 deg.C is set at 350/t(kgf/mm<2> ) or more, and that the relation between the Al content XA (wt.%) and thickness (t) satisfies the formula I and the relation between the Cr content XC (wt.%) and thickness (t) satisfies the formula II. As a honeycomb body is formed by a thin stainless steel foil of thickness of 17μm or more to 40μm or less as above-mentioned, the thermal capacity is small, and the time reaching the temperature of 300 deg.C or over in which a catalyst is activated is shortened to improve the initial purifying capability of exhaust gas.

Since the metal carrier has a smaller heat capacity than the ceramic carrier and is heated to a temperature at which the catalyst acts, it has an excellent exhaust gas purifying ability at the initial stage of engine start. Further, since the wall of the honeycomb body is made of a thin metal foil, it has advantages that exhaust resistance is small and engine output loss is small.

In the conventional metal carrier, the honeycomb body is manufactured from a heat-resistant stainless steel foil containing Al in order to maintain heat resistance against exhaust gas, and the thickness of the foil is often around 50 μm. In the exhaust gas purification of various internal combustion engines as described above, the purification is insufficient in the period until the temperature at which the honeycomb body reaches the temperature at which the catalyst acts at the initial stage of engine startup. Therefore, in order to comply with stricter exhaust gas regulations, a metal carrier capable of further shortening the temperature rising time of the catalyst due to exhaust gas is required.

In order to reduce the heat capacity and the back pressure of the metal carrier, it is necessary to thin the metal foil forming the honeycomb body. The present inventors have designed the foil appropriately so that the thinned foil has sufficient heat resistance depending on the environment in which the metal carrier is used. Here, having sufficient heat resistance does not cause high cycle fatigue with high temperature and high speed exhaust gas, and can withstand thermal stress due to temperature change at engine start and stop and thermal fatigue due to cold heat cycle. It has high-temperature strength and high-temperature oxidation resistance.

The importance of high temperature strength and oxidation resistance is
The same applies to the conventional metal carrier having a foil thickness of about 50 μm, but especially in the case of a metal carrier composed of thin foil, the foil is likely to be torn or the honeycomb body is likely to be crushed or buckled due to thermal stress. Since the time until the Al in the foil is depleted and abnormal oxidation is shortened due to the oxidation of Al, it is necessary to give special consideration to high temperature strength and oxidation resistance. less than,
The reason for defining the foil thickness and the composition of the foil material in the present invention will be described.

First, as a result of studying the thickness of the heat-resistant stainless steel foil, if the thickness is less than 17 μm, buckling and crushing of the honeycomb body are likely to occur even if the alloy design is taken into consideration and high cycle fatigue due to high temperature exhaust gas. And the honeycomb body was damaged or destroyed. And 40μ
If it is m or more, the back pressure of the honeycomb body becomes high, and in order to reduce the exhaust resistance and reduce the loss of engine output, the advantage over the conventional metal honeycomb body cannot be exhibited. Again 40
When the thickness is more than μm, the time until the catalyst is heated to a temperature of 300 ° C. or more becomes close to that of the conventional metal honeycomb body. Therefore, the thickness of the foil is set to 17 μm or more and less than 40 μm for the honeycomb body having heat resistance.

In the present invention, it is necessary to increase the high temperature strength of the foil as the thickness of the foil forming the honeycomb body is reduced. In this case, in the process of raising the temperature of the metal carrier, when the temperature of the foil is 600 to 750 ° C., the temperature gradient from the outer cylinder to the honeycomb body becomes the largest, and the maximum thermal strain occurs at this time. When the material strength at 600 ° C. to 750 ° C. is low, the thermal strain is concentrated in the vicinity of the portion where the temperature gradient is maximum, and in the thin foil carrier, the buckling of the foil and the collapse of the honeycomb body are likely to occur. Accelerates thermal fatigue destruction. In order to prevent these destructions, the present inventors have determined the yield strength of the foil material at 700 ° C. as shown by the hatched portion in FIG.
It has been found that it should be 350 / t (kgf / mm 2 ) or more in relation to Here, 600 to 750
The reason why the material strength at 700C is represented by 700 ° C is that if the material strength at 700 ° C is increased, the strength at 600 to 750 ° C also increases substantially in proportion.

Next, the component composition of the honeycomb body of the present invention will be described. In a normal oxidizing atmosphere due to exhaust gas, Al 2
A strong film of O 3 is formed, which serves as a barrier and prevents the foil from oxidizing. Therefore, the amount of Al contained in the foil is consumed as the Al 2 O 3 is produced. Here, if the surface area of the honeycomb body is constant, Al 2 O 3
Since the amount of Al consumed for generation is constant regardless of the thickness of the foil, it is necessary to increase the required Al concentration when the foil is thin.

The inventor of the present invention experimentally evaluated the oxidation resistance of a stainless steel foil having a thickness of 17 to 40 μm in a normal oxidizing atmosphere due to exhaust gas, and as a result, the foil thickness t (μ
It was found that there is no problem if the Al content X A (% by weight) is above the curve AB in FIG. 2 (including the curve AB) according to m). Expressing the curve AB in the formula, X A = 100 / t
Becomes When the Al content exceeds 6%, it is difficult to manufacture a foil by ordinary rolling. Therefore, for a honeycomb body having oxidation resistance in a normal oxidizing atmosphere due to exhaust gas, the foil thickness t is 17 μm or more and less than 40 μm, and the Al content X A (wt%) and the foil thickness t (μ
In the relationship of m), Al is included in the range of 100 / t ≦ X A ≦ 6 (1).

In the Al-containing stainless steel foil,
As described above, the oxide film formed on the foil surface is mainly Al 2 O 3 , and Al is mainly consumed by the progress of oxidation, but Cr is also present in the film to some extent but is consumed as the oxidation progresses. It In particular, in order to keep the Al 2 O 3 coating in a sound state, a certain amount of C or more in the base metal
r must be present. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the Cr content as the foil thickness becomes thinner, and according to the experiments by the present inventors, the Cr content X C (% by weight) is 10 + 200 / t ≦ X C ≦ 30 (2) It turned out that The upper limit of 30 is provided because the material deteriorates when Cr is added in excess of 30%.

In the present invention, regarding the oxidation resistance of the foil due to the exhaust gas, the temperature of the exhaust gas is usually 900 ° C. or lower, but especially when the temperature of the exhaust gas exceeds 900 ° C., the high temperature oxidation resistance of the foil is high.

If the total content of these rare earth elements is less than 0.03%, the effect of improving the high temperature oxidation resistance in a severe oxidizing atmosphere exceeding 900 ° C is insufficient, and if it is added in excess of 0.15%, the oxidation resistance decreases. However, the hot workability also deteriorates and hot rolling becomes difficult.

It has been empirically known that the oxidation resistance test may be performed by a continuous heating test for 200 hours in the atmosphere at a temperature higher by 100 ° C. than the maximum temperature of the exhaust gas used. That is, for the alloy foils 1 to 7 containing no rare earth element, it is assumed that they are used at 850 ° C.
℃ × 200 hours test, also containing rare earth elements 8
The alloys of Nos. 13 to 13 were tested at 1050 ° C. for 200 hours, assuming that they will be used at 950 ° C. In Table 1, ◯ of the oxidation resistance evaluation shows a state where the Al 2 O 3 coating covers the entire surface in a sound oxidation state even after the test. Δ indicates that a black Fe-based abnormal oxidation spot was partially generated. Moreover, x shows that abnormal oxidation occurred in many parts of the foil. Further, a catalyst was carried on each of the trial-produced metal carriers, and the catalyst was mounted directly below the exhaust manifold of a gasoline engine with a displacement of 2000 cc, and a durability strength test was conducted. Table 1 shows the evaluation results of the damage state of the honeycomb body for each metal carrier.

The foil was manufactured as a prototype, a carrier similar to that of Example 1 was manufactured, mounted on an engine, and the pressure loss when the rotation speed was set to 5000 rpm was measured by a manometer. Table 2 shows the pressure loss ratio of each carrier when the pressure loss of the 50 μm foil carrier was 1.00. As shown by these results, it can be seen that the pressure loss surely decreases as the foil thickness decreases.

Example 3: A catalyst was supported on a carrier using the foil of each thickness of Example 2, and the catalyst was mounted directly below the exhaust manifold of a gasoline engine with a displacement of 2000 cc, the engine was started, and the rotation speed was 1600 rpm and suction was performed. The operation was performed under a slight load of air pressure of −50 kPa, and the time until the temperature of the center of the carrier reached 300 ° C. was measured. 300 ° C. is the lowest temperature at which the catalyst works. As a result, as shown in Table 3, the arrival time up to 300 ° C. becomes longer as the foil thickness increases, but this tendency tends to be saturated at the higher foil pressure. That is, the foil thickness is 40
The thickness of μm shows a time close to that of 50 μm, and the effect of thinning is 40 μm in thickness as in the case of the back pressure of Example 2.
It can be seen that when it is less than m, it becomes remarkable.

Even in such a thin honeycomb body, since the stainless steel components of the constituent materials are properly designed according to the purpose, there is no buckling at the time of use and at the time of engine starting. Also, the thermal stress due to the temperature change at the time of stop and the fracture due to the high temperature and high cycle fatigue during the operation of the engine do not occur. Further, there is no problem with oxidation resistance. Therefore, the present invention greatly contributes to environmental measures and energy saving measures.
