Abstract

A component of an exhaust system is provided. The component includes a housing extending from an inlet at a first end to an outlet at an opposing second end, an electrically conductive material disposed within the housing, and an induction coil configured to emit a magnetic field. The magnetic field is operable to heat the electrically conductive material from a first temperature of greater than or equal to about −20° C. to less than or equal to about 50° C. to a second temperature of greater than or equal to about 200° C. to less than or equal to about 700° C. in a time period of less than or equal to about 20 seconds.
