A catalyst carrier body, which is suitable for use in an exhaust system close to an internal combustion engine, has a multiplicity of passages through which a gas stream can flow and which extend next to one another between an inlet side and an outlet side. In order to allow efficient and permanent installation of an exhaust-gas treatment device, which can be subjected to high thermal and dynamic loads, the catalyst carrier body has at least one metallic sheet, which at a temperature of 900° C. at least has a proof stress Rp0.2 of 50 N/mm2. A catalytic converter, which is likewise suitable for this purpose, a corresponding exhaust system and a corresponding vehicle, are also provided.
