FIELD: mechanical engineering; exhaust systems of internal combustion engines. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to catalyst converters of exhaust gases for internal combustion engines with forced ignition of working mixture. Proposed element has great number of channels forming cellular structure and heat insulation formed by layers of several set up into pack and/or coiled into roll insulating metal sheets thrusting against each other through microstructures of sheets. Thanks to it, spaces are formed between layers of sheets. Height of microstructures is from 10 μm to 250 μm. EFFECT: reduced losses of heat radiated into ambient medium. 10 dwg
