Which outcome occurs when catalytic converter support structure experiences extreme thermal cycling?

💡 Explanation

During thermal cycling, the washcoat's repeated expansion and contraction against thermal gradients, exceeding the adhesive chemical bonds' limit, causes eventual separation because of the different expansion coefficients. Therefore, washcoat adhesion fails rather than cordierite degradation, sintering or SO2 reduction, which occur via different mechanisms and conditions.
