Brazed substrate technology from DCL is ideal for spark-ignited and diesel engine applications. Substrates are manufactured to almost any shape or size and are available from 100 to 600 cpsi. The oxidized surface morphology provides excellent adhesion characteristics for a variety of washcoat types. DCL brazed substrates have been extensively validated both in-house for thermal and mechanical shock, and in the field in a wide variety of engine applications.

Brazed substrates from DCL provide high resistance to mechanical shock, while at the same time giving customers an economical alternative to ceramic or non-brazed metal substrates currently on the market.
