Abstract

A static mixing element, in particular for arrangement in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, has a grid-like component having a flow therethrough. The grid-like component is formed in one piece from an elongated metal strip. In the production of the static mixing element, the metal strip is bent to form the grid-like component.
