Metallic honeycomb body with defined connecting points and motor vehicle having the honeycomb body

Abstract

A honeycomb body includes at least a housing and a honeycomb structure with a multiplicity of channels. The honeycomb structure includes at least one at least partially structured metallic layer forming connecting points which fix the honeycomb structure. A cross section of the honeycomb structure has radial zones with connecting points. At least 1% and at most 20% of inner contact points of the at least one at least partially structured metallic layer in at least one of the zones forms a connecting point in the cross section. The channels have a different channel cross section in at least two of the radial zones. A motor vehicle having the honeycomb body is also provided.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
