Method for manufacturing ceramic honeycomb fired body

摘要

Manufacture of ceramic honeycomb fired body. Green molded body is placed on a firing base and fired. The firing base and green molded body are each a column containing a ceramic raw material and having a partition wall forming a plurality of flow paths, and patterns of end surfaces of the two partition walls are the same as each other as seen from an extending direction of the flow paths. The green molded body is placed on the firing base displaced in a horizontal direction by a predetermined distance, or rotated around a vertical axis V of the green molded body by a predetermined angle θ, so that only a part of the lower side end surface of the partition wall of the green molded body is in contact with the upper side end surface of the partition wall of the firing base.

1. A method for manufacturing a ceramic honeycomb fired body, comprising:
a step of placing a green molded body on a firing base; and a step of firing the firing base and the green molded body, wherein the firing base and the green molded body are each a column comprising a ceramic raw material and having a partition wall forming a plurality of flow paths, and patterns of end surfaces of the two partition walls are the same as each other as seen from an extending direction of the flow paths, and in the placing step, using the entirety of one end surface of the partition wall of the green molded body being in contact with an upper side end surface of the partition wall of the firing base as a reference position, the green molded body is placed on the firing base such that the green molded body is displaced in a horizontal direction by a predetermined distance with respect to the firing base, so that only a part of the one end surface of the partition wall of the green molded body is in contact with the upper side end surface of the partition wall of the firing base placed horizontally, wherein the predetermined distance is at least the wall thickness of the partition wall and less than a repeating unit of the partition wall structure in the horizontal direction, and wherein the upper side end surface of the partition wall of the firing base has a shape whereby the whole of the lower end surface of the partition wall of the green molded body is in contact with the whole of the upper side end surface of the partition wall of the firing base.
