Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a metallic honeycomb body, in particular a honeycomb body for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine.
- honeycomb bodies are used as carriers for catalytically active material and / or for adsorber material and similar applications.
- honeycomb body is built up from a multiplicity of alternatingly arranged smooth and corrugated or differently corrugated sheet metal layers, the sheet metal layers initially forming one or more stacks which are intertwined with one another.
- the ends of all sheet metal layers come to the outside and can be connected to a housing or casing tube, which creates numerous connections ' which increase the durability of the honeycomb body.
- honeycomb bodies in a conical design possibly also with additional structures for influencing the flow.
- honeycomb body is described, for example, in WO 97/49905.
- Sheet metal layers on the one hand to understand metallic sheet metal layers, but on the other hand also layers made of a material at least partially through which a fluid can flow. Such materials which can at least partially flow through for a fluid are used to construct open particle filters.
- a soldering technique is often used to connect two sheet layers, in which the sheet layers are preferably connected by a brazing process.
- Various techniques are known for applying the solder, in which solder powder or solder strips, but also solder paste, are preferably used.
- Methods for applying an adhesive and soldering a metallic arrangement containing a honeycomb body are known, for example, from WO 89/11938, WO 94/06594, WO 93/25339, DE 2924592 AI and DE 198 23 000 AI.
- the processing step of applying an adhesive and then subsequently applying the powdery additive or solder regularly proves to be relatively complicated, especially in terms of handling, and in particular soldered connections have disadvantages in terms of durability, so that the object of the invention is based on this is to propose a method and a device for the production of honeycomb bodies, which enables a connection of the sheet layers with good durability with a simple procedure and to propose a honeycomb body produced in this way.
- the method according to the invention for producing a honeycomb body, in particular a catalyst support body, with cavities through which a fluid can flow at least in part comprises the following steps: a) forming a metallic honeycomb structure and b) bringing at least one end face of the honeycomb structure into contact with a metallic melt, which has a lower melting point than the metallic honeycomb structure.
- the method according to the invention advantageously allows the metal melt to be used to form connections between the sheet metal layers by bringing at least one end face into contact.
- the metallic melt penetrates into the cavities of the honeycomb structure due to the capillary action, the melt wetting the walls of the cavities of the honeycomb structure.
- the walls of the cavities of a metallic honeycomb structure are preferably made of steel.
- metals for example aluminum, contained in the melt diffuse into the steel of the walls of the honeycomb structure. This creates an aluminum-steel alloy with a locally increased aluminum content in this example. The melting point of such an alloy drops with increasing aluminum content.
- the walls of the honeycomb structure are formed by sheet metal layers, there is a connection between adjacent sheet metal layers. Due to the progressive diffusion of aluminum, the local aluminum content drops again, the melting point rises and the compound hardens.
- the honeycomb structure is formed by winding at least one sheet-metal layer, at least one of which is at least partially structured.
- a spiral honeycomb structure can be created.
- This can be formed by winding a single structured sheet metal layer, but this can be done just as well with a static and an essentially smooth sheet metal layer.
- the formation of a spiral honeycomb structure by winding an at least partially structured sheet metal layer is also possible and according to the invention.
- the structuring, preferably a corrugation, of individual or a part of the sheet-metal layers enables the formation in a simple manner of cavities through which a fluid, for example an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, can flow at least partially.
- the honeycomb structure is achieved by stacking a plurality of sheet metal layers, some of which are structured and some of which are essentially smooth, and devouring one or several stacks.
- connections are advantageously formed between two sheet metal layers by forming an alloy with locally enriched aluminum content.
- At least some of the sheet-metal layers at least partially consist of material that can at least partially flow through for a fluid. This advantageously enables the formation of a honeycomb structure, which acts as a so-called open particle filter.
- a particle filter is said to be open if it can basically be traversed completely by particles, including particles that are considerably larger than the particles that are actually to be filtered out. As a result, such a filter cannot clog up even during agglomeration of particles during operation.
- a suitable method for measuring the openness of a particle filter is, for example, testing to what diameter spherical particles can still flow through such a filter.
- a filter is particularly open when balls with a diameter greater than or equal to 0.1 mm can still trickle through, preferably balls with a diameter above 0.2 mm.
- the honeycomb structure is introduced into a jacket tube before or after method step b).
- the connection between the casing tube and the honeycomb structure can also be carried out analogously to the connection of the sheet metal layers using the diffusion of the metal contained in the metallic melt, such as aluminum in the casing tube and honeycomb structure.
- a thermal joining connection preferably a soldered or welded connection, particularly preferably one, takes place after method step b) Induction solder connection, for connecting honeycomb structure and casing tube.
- the formation of a thermal joining connection between the casing tube and the honeycomb structure enables the formation of a permanent connection between the casing tube and the honeycomb structure.
- a thermal joining connection preferably a soldered or welded connection, particularly preferably an induction soldered connection, is carried out before method step b), preferably shortly before method step b), for connecting the honeycomb structure and the casing tube. Since the casing tube and / or honeycomb structure are heated when a thermal joining connection is formed, the heat introduced into the honeycomb structure and / or the casing tube can advantageously be used to influence the flow behavior of the metallic melt within the honeycomb structure.
- the process prior to method step b), that is to say bringing the honeycomb structure into contact with the metallic melt advantageously allows the heat introduced by the formation of the thermal joining connection to be utilized. This is advantageous from the point of view of the most efficient use of energy.
- the honeycomb structure and / or the jacket tube are heated to a predetermined temperature before method step b), which temperature essentially corresponds to the metallic melt.
- a predetermined temperature essentially corresponds to the metallic melt.
- Heating the honeycomb structure and / or the casing tube advantageously allows the process to be influenced.
- the temperature of the metallic melt on the one hand and the temperature of the honeycomb structure and / or the casing tube on the other hand
- the depth of penetration i.e. the height of rise due to the capillary force
- the metallic melt in the honeycomb structure and, on the other hand, the diffusion length in the channel walls and thus the properties of the connections that form.
- Another way of influencing the way in which the process is carried out is by the composition of the melt.
- it can contain components that influence parameters such as surface tension and / or viscosity of the additive.
- the metallic melt has a predetermined temperature which essentially corresponds to the melting temperature of the metallic melt; This is particularly advantageous since the energy required to maintain the operating temperature of the metallic melt can be kept small.
- At least the contacting of the honeycomb structure and, if appropriate, of the jacket tube with the metallic melt is carried out under vacuum or protective gas, preferably under protective gas.
- vacuum or protective gas By working in a vacuum or in a protective gas, oxidation of parts of the metallic melt with the atmospheric oxygen can be avoided, which can lead to clumping of the melt.
- a protective gas atmosphere it is possible, on the one hand, to work in a closed chamber which has a kind of lock for access to the components, for example honeycomb structures and jacket pipes, which makes it possible, essentially without allowing air to penetrate into it Chamber is coming to proceed.
- the metallic melt contains at least aluminum.
- the metallic melt consists essentially of aluminum.
- Substantially pure aluminum has a lower melting point than the steel that forms the honeycomb structure. This allows the metallic melt to be composed in a simple manner, which leads to the formation of durable connections between the steel sheets.
- the metal melt is an aluminum-based alloy.
- the process control can then be carried out by checking the temperature of the honeycomb structure and / or the jacket tube, and by checking the temperature of the melt.
- a device for producing a metallic honeycomb body with a reservoir for receiving a metallic melt with a lower melting point than the metal from which the honeycomb body is constructed, at least one first heating device which is in thermal contact with the reservoir and a handling device, the handling device having a) gripping means for gripping and b) moving means for moving the gripping means 2ra ⁇ at least above an opening of the reservoir, preferably into the reservoir.
- the device according to the invention advantageously allows the connection of sheet metal layers forming the metallic honeycomb structure to one another and, if appropriate, the connection of the honeycomb structure to a tubular casing.
- the construction of the device with a handling device which has gripping means and moving means enables the honeycomb structure to be handled in a simple manner. This is gripped with the gripping means the moving means then move the gripping means together with the honeycomb structure.
- the movement means are designed such that they can move the gripping means and thus also the honeycomb structure at least above the opening of the reservoir, preferably also into the reservoir.
- at least one end face of the honeycomb structure can be brought into contact with the metallic melt.
- the surfaces of the honeycomb body are wetted by capillary action and, as explained above, the sheet metal layers from which the honeycomb body is constructed are connected.
- the means for forming a honeycomb structure has means for stacking and devouring or for winding one or more, at least partially structured sheet metal layers.
- a spiral honeycomb structure can be created. This can be formed by winding a single, at least partially structured sheet metal layer, but winding up an at least partially structured sheet metal layer with an essentially smooth sheet metal layer can take place just as well.
- the formation of a spiral honeycomb structure by winding an at least partially structured sheet metal layer is also possible and according to the invention.
- the structuring, preferably a corrugation, of individual or parts of sheet metal layers enables the formation in a simple manner of cavities through which a fluid, for example an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, can flow at least partially. It is also possible to provide the sheet metal layers at least partially with holes, the dimensions of which are in particular also greater than the structural repeat length of the structures of the at least partially structured sheet metal layers.
- At least one second heating device is formed, which is used to heat the honeycomb structure before bringing it into contact with the metallic melt. Heating the honeycomb structure advantageously prevents the melt from freezing out too quickly when the walls of the cavities in the honeycomb structure are wetted.
- the second heating device can be designed as an electrical heating device, but it is equally possible to use a burner and / or the waste heat from other processes.
- means are provided for introducing the honeycomb structure into a tubular casing.
- the honeycomb structure can be pushed into the tubular casing.
- At least one production soldering device is provided.
- This induction soldering device can be used particularly advantageously to form a connection between the honeycomb structure and the casing tube.
- the heat generated by induction soldering heats up the honeycomb structure and the jacket tube, so that the honeycomb structure and the jacket tube are already advantageously heated. It is advantageously possible to make the production soldering device freely movable. However, it is also possible to use the to integrate production soldering device into the reservoir wall or to connect it to the reservoir.
- regulating and / or control means are provided which are connected to the first and / or the second heating device via signal lines. These regulating and / or control means regulate the temperature of the metallic melt and / or the reservoir and / or the honeycomb structure and / or the casing tube. This advantageously allows the temperatures to be controlled to be kept constant in a predetermined range. It is also possible to provide feedback to the honeycomb structure and / or to the tubular casing and / or to the metallic melt. This can be done by designing appropriate temperature sensors, for example using non-contact temperature measurement technology, and connecting them to the regulating and / or control unit. The regulating and / or control unit can be designed electronically, but other regulating and / or control circuits are also possible.
- At least the reservoir is arranged in a chamber, preferably a vacuum chamber or protective gas chamber. If the surface of the metallic melt in the reservoir is kept under protective gas or vacuum, clumping of the metallic melt due to oxidation with the atmospheric oxygen is advantageously avoided.

- the temperature sensor measures the temperature of the honeycomb structure. A temperature sensor that works without contact can advantageously be used here.
- the control means 10 is connected to the first heating device 4 via a second signal line 11 and regulates the temperature of the first heating device 4 or of the liquid additive 5 to a predetermined value.
- the first handling device 7 moves a formed honeycomb structure 6, which is fixed by the gripping means 24, so that it is ensured that the diameter of the honeycomb structure 6 may not change, from the means 8 for forming a honeycomb structure 6 to the reservoir 3 Front face 22 of the honeycomb structure 6 is brought into contact with the metallic melt 5, it is possible to connect a casing tube, which may or may not surround the honeycomb structure 6, to the honeycomb structure 6 by forming a thermal joining connection, for example by means of an mduMon soldering device 13.
- a means for introducing the honeycomb structure 6 into a jacket tube can also be formed in the means 8 for forming a honeycomb structure 6.
- a second handling device 12 is provided with a production soldering device 13 which is used to form a soldered connection between the casing tube and the honeycomb structure 6.
- the first handling device 7 and the second handling device 12 work together in such a way that both induction soldering for connecting the casing tube and the honeycomb structure 6 and contacting the metallic melt 5 take place.
- the induction solder connection can be formed before or after contacting at least one of the end faces 22 of the honeycomb structure 6 with the metallic melt 5. If the induction soldering is carried out before bringing it into contact with the metallic melt 5, the honeycomb body or the honeycomb structure 6 and the jacket tube are advantageously heated by the soldering process.
- the formation of the connection between the honeycomb structure 6 and the casing tube is also possible according to the invention by other mechanical joining methods, for example by welding or also by other soldering methods.
- layers of material that can be at least partially flowed through for a fluid can be used both as smooth sheet metal layers 14 and as structured sheet metal layers 15.
- a porous or also highly porous material can be used both as smooth sheet metal layers 14 and as structured sheet metal layers 15.
- sheet metal layers 14, 15, for example made of steel, is also possible according to the invention.
- connection regions 17 shown by way of example by forming an aluminum alloy with a locally reduced melting point, since the aluminum diffuses out of the metallic melt 5 into the sheet metal layers 14, 15 and thus locally lowers the melting point, so that in the connection regions 17, the sheet-metal layers 14, 15 are connected to each other by fusion '. Characterized in that the diffusion process proceeds further, the local Alumim is lowered again to content ', so that the local melting point increases, is carried out followed by resolidification, then the connecting portions 17 that re-solidify.
- the described method can also be used in particular for local reinforcement or thickening of the sheet metal layers 14, 15.
- the applied metallic melt in particular an aluminum melt
- This is preferably attached to both sides of the sheet metal layers 14, 15.
- the thickening is advantageously in the range greater than 10% of the sheet layer thickness, in particular greater than 25% or even 50%, and possibly in partial areas which are encompassed by the aforementioned values.
- layer thicknesses of the metallic melt in the solidified state are generated on the surface of the sheet metal layers, which are, for example, greater than 2 ⁇ m, in particular greater than 20 ⁇ m.
- the depth of penetration that is to say the height of rise of the metallic melt 5 into the honeycomb structure 6 and the diffusion length of the aluminum in the sheet metal layers 14, 15, can be checked by specifying the temperature of the honeycomb structure 6 and / or the metallic melt 5.
- this has a decisive influence on the properties of the connection between the sheet metal layers 14, 15.
- connection created in this way is extremely stable and the connection method also has the advantage that the steel can be enriched with aluminum, which is advantageous for the corrosion property.
- the connection method In the area of the third zone 20 there is only an increase in the aluminum content and thus improved corrosion properties in this third zone 20.
- control means 11 second signal line
