A metallic honeycomb body for supporting a catalyst comprises a flat plate and a corrugated plate; these plates are formed by a foil of stainless steel in which the steel contains more than 1% of Si and the surface of the steel is covered by a film which is mainly formed by an oxide chrome at a high temperature, and are mutually bonded by diffusion bonding. The chemical composition of the foil material is comprised of up to 0.2% of C, more than 1 to 5% of Si, 9 to 22% of Cr, up to 0.8% of Al, and as necessary, at least one member selected from the group of Nb, V, Mo W and REM (rare earth member) including Y. The metallic honeycomb body is formed by which said body is annealed at a vacuum degree of 10.sup.-2 to 10.sup.-4 Torr and in a temperature range of 1200.degree. to 1300.degree. C. for 1 to 30 minutes in a vacuum annealing furnace.
A metallic honeycomb body for supporting a catalyst characterized in that flat foils consisting essentially of a ferritic stainless steel containing 1.1 to 3.5 wt % of Si and not greater than 0.8 wt % of Al and corrugated foils formed by corrugating said flat foils are alternately stacked or the flat foil and corrugated foil are integrally wound, and bond portions between said flat foil and said corrugated foil stacked or wound with each other are bonded by mutual diffusion of constituent atoms of each of said foils.
A method of producing a metallic honeycomb body for supporting a catalyst, comprising:
