Honeycomb body with internal leading edges, in particular a catalyst body for motor vehicles

Honeycomb body according to claim wherein said inverted regions are approximately in the shape of teeth of an involute gear.

Honeycomb body having an interior, comprising at least partly structured metal sheets forming walls of a plurality of channels through which a fluid can flow, some of said sheets having a primary corrugation with crests, troughs and a given corrugation height, each of said crests and each of said troughs being formed with at least two inverted regions of different heights being at most equal to said given corrugation height, and said inverted regions defining leading edges in the interior of the honeycomb body.
