PLANKING FOR FIRING AND METHOD OF FIRING CERAMIC PRODUCTS BY USING THE SAME

摘要

A planking for firing, free from thermal deformation and having a long life; and a method of firing a ceramic molded product by using this planking, which method can prevent the occurrence of distortion of ribs of, and deformation and discoloring of an end surface of, and cracks in, a honeycomb structure. The planking for firing consists mainly of 55-85 % by weight of cordierite and 15-45 % by weight of mullite, and a raw ceramic molded product is placed on such a planking and fired.
