A honeycomb extrusion die, a method of making the same, and an apparatus for forming the same. The die includes: a feed hole plate comprising an input surface, an opposing output surface, and feed holes configured to guide a batch material from the input surface to the output surface; and a pin assembly comprising pins disposed on the feed hole plate. At least one of the pins includes: a tail; a head connected to the tail and comprising alignment surfaces configured to align the pins, flow surfaces disposed between the alignment surfaces, and a tapered portion comprising a contact surface adhered to the output surface of the feed hole plate; and a first groove disposed between the head and the tail. In the pin assembly, the alignment surfaces contact adjacent pins to align the pins, such that discharge slots are at least partially defined by the tails of the pins. |
