MANUFACTURING METHOD OF HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE, AND BONDING MATERIAL

摘要

A manufacturing method of a honeycomb structure includes a forming step of forming a quadrangular pillar-shaped honeycomb formed body, a firing step of firing the honeycomb formed body and forming a quadrangular pillar-shaped honeycomb fired body, a coating step of coating at least a part of side surfaces of the honeycomb fired body with a paste-like bonding material, a honeycomb block body preparing step of bonding the plurality of honeycomb fired bodies while performing pressurizing, to prepare a honeycomb block body, and a circumference grinding step of grinding a circumferential surface of the honeycomb block body and obtaining the honeycomb structure, and in the honeycomb block body preparing step, the bonding is performed without interposing any member other than the bonding material between the honeycomb fired bodies, and the bonding material has a shear thinning property.

1. A manufacturing method of a honeycomb structure which comprises:
a forming step of forming a forming material to form a quadrangular pillar-shaped honeycomb formed body having partition walls defining and forming a plurality of cells which become through channels for fluid and extend from one end face to the other end face; a firing step of firing the honeycomb formed body obtained by the forming step and forming a quadrangular pillar-shaped honeycomb fired body; a coating step of coating a side surface of at least a part of the honeycomb fired body with a paste-like bonding material; a honeycomb block body preparing step of bringing the side surfaces of the plurality of honeycomb fired bodies into contact with one another and performing bonding while performing pressurizing, to prepare a honeycomb block body in which the plurality of honeycomb fired bodies are laminated; and a grinding step of grinding a circumferential portion of the honeycomb block body and obtaining the honeycomb structure, wherein in the honeycomb block body preparing step, the bonding is performed without interposing any member other than the bonding material between the honeycomb fired bodies, and the bonding material has a shear thinning property.
