Pliable metal catalyst carriers, conformable catalyst members made therefrom and methods of installing the same

A is difficult the flexible carrier) of the metal of (46) is arranged above is plated with an anchor layer (47), for catalytic sleeve (48) of the carrier (46) are connected by using the power. The catalyst of element (26,82,82 ', 126,226,326) are bent is provided with comprising a curve or the bending exhaust pipe (20,220,320) and. Difficult to melt flexible carrier of the metal and can is a tubular is example of the perforated hole (54) carrier (46), or capable of the metal bar (76), wherein the strip is folded the accordion pleat (80) and perforated hole (78). Rubber (54,78) is used to enable the exhaust gas to form. Is equipped with a series the sealing cover (58) and annular spacing plate (60), for the air to provide the air through the exhaust pipe (22) is oil groove; the exhaust pipe (22) comprises a cylindrical the catalyst element (226). Can provide mounting element (68), and a fixed the leaf-shaped catalyst element (226) is an exhaust pipe (220) is a.
