Corning has developed a ceramic substrate for catalytic converters with ultra thin walls that it says will increase engine power and reduce fuel consumption by lowering exhaust system back pressure.
The Celcor 600/2 has 600 cells per square inch and walls that are two mils thick (51µm) or about the width of a strand of human hair. Intended for light gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles, the cell structure provides for quick light-off, reducing cold-start emissions.
Manufacture of the substrate has just started for inclusion in 2008 model-year vehicles.
