Abstract

A catalyst support and process for preparing same are provided wherein a metal substrate is coated with a layer of adherent alumina with a layer of chromium interposed between the alumina catalyst support and the metal substrate. The catalyst supports of the invention are especially useful in catalytic converters for the purification and control of exhaust gas emissions from internal combustion engines by the active catalyst oxidation/reduction of carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
