METHOD FOR MAKING HONEYCOMB STRUCTURES WITH CHAMFERED AFTER-APPLIED SKIN AND HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE PRODUCED THEREBY

摘要

Methods of manufacturing a honeycomb structure comprise the step of providing a honeycomb body having a multiplicity of cells extending therethrough between opposing end faces. The cells are defined by intersecting porous walls. The methods further include the steps of applying an after-applied skin layer on the honeycomb body and chamfering an edge of the after-applied skin. The chamfering step is performed on a wet after-applied skin layer.
