Abstract

The present invention provides a high Al-content steel sheet having an excellent workability and a method of production of the same at a low cost by mass production, a high Al-content metal foil and a method of production of the same, and a metal substrate using a high Al-content metal foil, that is, a high Al-content steel sheet having an Al content of 6.5 mass % to 10 mass %, the high Al-content steel sheet characterized by having one or both of a {222} plane integration of an α-Fe crystal with respect to the surface of the steel sheet of 60% to 95% or a {200} plane integration of 0.01% to 15% and a method of production of the same, a high Al-content metal foil and a method of production of the same, and a metal substrate using a high Al-content metal foil.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A honeycomb structure comprised of a flat foil and corrugated foil of a metal foil superposed and wound up, said honeycomb structure characterized in that
at least part of said metal foil is a high Al-content steel foil having an Al content of 6.5 mass % to 10 mass % and a steel foil thickness of 0.005 mm to 0.1 mm, and said high Al-content steel foil characterized by having
a {222} plane integration of 79% to 95% or a {200} plane integration of 0.01% to 1.8% of the α-Fe crystal with respect to the surface of the steel foil and an elongation at break of 11 to 23%,
wherein said steel foil is produced by a process comprising the steps of preheating a matrix steel sheet containing Al in an amount, by mass %, of 3.5% to less than 6.5% at a temperature of 750° C. to 1100° C.,
depositing an Al or an Al alloy on at least one surface of the matrix steel sheet to obtain a laminate,
imparting working strain to the laminate by cold rolling,
treating the laminate by diffusion heat treatment, and
further cold rolling the laminate.

2. The honeycomb structure as set forth in claim 1 ,
wherein the high Al-content steel foil characterized by having a {222} plane integration of 79% to 95% and a {200} plane integration of 0.01% to 1.8% of the α-Fe crystal with respect to the surface of the steel foil.

3. A metal substrate obtained by brazing together a honeycomb structure as set forth in claim 2 and a metal outer jacket.

4. A metal substrate obtained by brazing together a honeycomb structure as set forth in claim 2 and a metal outer jacket, then carrying a catalyst layer.

5. A metal substrate obtained by brazing together a honeycomb structure as set forth in claim 1 and a metal outer jacket.

6. A metal substrate obtained by brazing together a honeycomb structure as set forth in claim 1 and a metal outer jacket, then carrying a catalyst layer.
