The document discusses diesel particulate filters which trap and oxidize particulate matter from diesel exhaust. It notes that temperatures in the filters can be very high, up to 2500 degrees Celsius, and that large temperature gradients can cause cracks. It also discusses challenges in controlling temperatures, insulating filters, and selecting appropriate materials that can withstand such extreme heat.
