MANUFACTURING METHOD OF HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE, AND HONEYCOMB FORMED BODY

摘要

There is disclosed a manufacturing method of a honeycomb structure in which any setters are not used, so that it is possible to alleviate generation of a defect in an end face of the honeycomb structure and to suppress firing cost. A manufacturing method 100 of the honeycomb structure has a forming step of forming a honeycomb formed body 1 having partition walls defining a plurality of cells; a convex end portion forming step of forming a convex end portion 3 including a convex end face 3a in the obtained honeycomb formed body 1; a mounting step of directing downward one end face 2a on which the convex end portion 3 is formed and mounting the honeycomb formed body on a shelf plate 10; a firing step of firing the honeycomb formed body 1 mounted on the shelf plate 10 to form a honeycomb fired body 20; and an end face grinding step of grinding one end face 2a of the honeycomb fired body 20 to remove the convex end portion 3.
