ABSTRACT:
A substrate for a catalytic converter is formed of steel sheets embossed with corrugations in a chevron pattern such that the metal buckles at vertices of adjoining corrugations to form projections extending out of the plane of the sheet. The sheets are stacked with the projections registered to form weld points and capacitive discharge welding secures the sheets together. The substrate is formed in two halves which are clamped together and then secured by end rings.
