  • Method for manufacturing a catalytic converter housing arrangement with at least one sensor carrier for an exhaust system of a vehicle
    Patent number: 10385755
    Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a catalytic converter housing arrangement with at least one sensor carrier for an exhaust system of a vehicle. The method includes the steps of: a) providing at least one sensor carrier sheet metal blank (42); b) forming at least one sensor mounting opening (48) in the sensor carrier sheet metal blank (42) by flow drilling such that a length (L) of the opening is greater than a thickness (D) of the material of the sensor carrier sheet metal blank (42) before step b) is carried out; and c) preparing an internal thread in the at least one sensor mounting opening (48) for providing a sensor carrier.
