An exhaust manifold includes an exhaust conduit having an inner surface, and an aluminide layer disposed on at least a portion of the inner surface of the manifold. The exhaust manifold is made by applying aluminum on an inner surface of the manifold and oxidizing to form the aluminide layer.

Exhaust manifold comprising aluminide

Gas treatment devices and vehicle exhaust systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the vehicle exhaust system, comprises: an engine, a gas treatment device disposed downstream from the engine, the gas treatment device comprising a housing, a substrate disposed within the housing, the substrate comprising a catalyst and a hexaaluminate comprising a catalyst stabilizer disposed in a hexaaluminate crystal structure.

Gas treatment device, methods for making and using the same, and a vehicle exhaust system

Disclosed herein are sensors, and method for making an using the same. In one embodiment, the sensor comprises: a first electrode disposed on a ceramic substrate, wherein the first electrode comprises an amorphous metal material comprising a first metal selected from the group consisting of a Group 9 metal, a Group 10 metal, a Group 11 metal, and combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing first metals, and zirconium or at least one of phosphorus and boron.

Sensor with amorphous electrode

An air cleaner assembly includes an adsorber member disposed in a fluid passageway of the air cleaner assembly for eliminating pollutants from being discharged into the atmosphere contained within the air cleaner assembly. The adsorber member comprises a support and a silicate pollutant treating material free from zeolite disposed onto a surface of the support.

Air cleaner assembly for reducing pollutants from being discharged into the atmosphere

A spark plug electrode is disclosed. The electrode comprises, based upon the total weight of the electrode, about 83 wt. % to about 96.8 wt. % copper, about 3.0 wt. % to about 9.0 wt. % chromium, and about 0.2 wt. % to about 8.0 wt. % niobium. A spark plug is also disclosed. The spark plug comprises a shell disposed in contact with an insulator body. A center electrode is disposed at a lower end of the insulator body. A side electrode is also disposed at a lower end of the shell. This side electrode is coaxially aligned with the center electrode. At least one of the center electrode and the side electrode comprises a core composition of about 83 wt. % to about 96.8 wt. % copper, about 3.0 wt. % to about 9.0 wt. % chromium and about 0.2% to about 8.0% niobium, based upon the total weight of the composition. A resistor section is also disposed in electrical communication with the center electrode.

The poison resistant sensor comprises a sensing electrode ( ) having a first and second side; a reference electrode ( ) having a first and second side; an electrolyte ( ) disposed between and in intimate contact with the first side of the sensing electrode and the first side of the reference electrode; a first side of a protective layer ( ) disposed adjacent to the second side of the sensing electrode; and a protective coating ( ), comprising alpha alumina and gamma alumina, disposed in physical contact with the second side of the protective layer.

Poison resistant sensor

The torch jet spark plug comprises a shell with an insulator body concentrically disposed within at least a portion of the shell. A pre-chamber is concentrically disposed within at least a portion of the shell and at least a portion of the insulator body, the pre-chamber having an orifice disposed at a first end of the pre-chamber and at an insulator body first end. On at least a portion of a pre-chamber internal surface is an inner electrode comprising up to about 75 vol. % of a bonding agent, about 20 vol. % or greater of a catalytically active material, and about 5 vol. % or greater of a transition metal material. At least partially disposed within a second end of the insulator body, opposite the insulator body first end is an upper terminal. Finally, an upper electrode is disposed within the insulator body, between the inner electrode and the upper terminal, and in a spaced relation to the inner electrode.

Torch jet spark plug electrode

The sensor is formed by disposing an electrolyte between and in intimate contact with a first electrode on the one side and a second electrode on the other side to form an assembly, heating the assembly, treating the assembly with an alkaline solution and removing the impurities to obtain optimal sensor performance. Alternatively, an electrolyte is formed, sintered, treated with alkaline solution, and then the electrodes are applied.
