METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE

摘要

A method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure includes molding a wet mixture containing an aluminum titanate powdery material to form a honeycomb molded body. The aluminum titanate powdery material contains about 40% to about 60% by mass of Al2O3, about 30% to about 50% by mass of TiO2, and about 1% to about 15% by mass of (MgO+SiO2). The honeycomb molded body has cells provided substantially in parallel with one another in a longitudinal direction of the honeycomb molded body. The honeycomb molded body is fired at a temperature of about 1200° C. to about 1700° C.
