Exhaust gas cleaning catalysts are produced by alloying copper and aluminum with at least one of the elements, nickel and chromium, and eluting by alkali or acid means aluminum from the cooled alloy surface. Small amounts of other metals from the fourth or fifth period V.about. VIII groups, may be added to the catalysts by alloying, or by impregnation, for enhanced catalytic properties. The catalysts exhibit improved reduction of NO and oxidation of CO in an exhaust gas stream, in the presence of Pb, SO.sub.2, moisture and hydrocarbons (H.C) and at relatively low temperatures.
