An article, includes a porous ceramic honeycomb body and a housing disposed on at least one of an outer periphery of the porous ceramic honeycomb body and opposing end faces of the porous ceramic honeycomb body, wherein the housing exerts a compressive force on the porous ceramic honeycomb body in at least one of radial direction and axial direction. A method of making the article, includes heating to greater than or equal to about 200C the housing, crimping the housing tightly around the honeycomb body while the housing is greater than or equal to about 200C, and cooling the housing. The housing exerts a compressive force on the porous ceramic honeycomb body in at least one of radial direction and axial direction by shrinking on cooling more than the honeycomb body. |
