Stainless steels have been applied to the automobile exhaust system since exhaust gas emissions regulation in the fist half 1970's. The growth in the amount of ferritic stainless steel use was particularly remarkable after 1975. Outstanding growth of stainless steel use depends on new applications such as exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, muffler, exterior molding and exhaust gas catalyzer. Behind the new applications are social demands to improve the performance of the automobile in areas such as fuel efficiency. Many reports about stainless steels for the automobile are already recorded. This technical review will show the present situation for the major exhaust components. The future prospects for stainless steel use in automobiles will be summarized.
