Abstract
Thirty years of Diesel soot particulate filter development have enabled ceramic refractory materials to fulfill the requirements of the exhaust system in passenger cars. Silicon carbide wall flow filters currently have the highest market share. However, in automotive applications there is a continual effort to find more cost-effective and reliable materials and systems; an effort in large part enforced by increasing emission standards. A newly developed alumina-based DPF substrate is presented as an economical and ecological alternative.
