Durability of Advanced Electrically Heated Catalyst Design 960345

Testing was performed on Corning's Generation 3 Electrically Heated Catalyst (EHC) to determine product reliability and durability. A number of functional measurements was performed before and after all electrical, thermal/mechanical and environmental tests. EHCs were also successfully tested on vehicles for 100,000 miles. The results of all tests were favorable and indicated that the new design meets or exceeds requirements.
