Abstract

A ceramic formed body extrusion method for forming a ceramic formed body having a wall-shaped or plate-shaped formed portion by using an extrusion die provided with a slit for extrusion of a ceramic formed body from a raw material for forming, the slit including a slit former stage unit located on an upstream side in an extrusion direction in the extrusion and a slit latter stage unit located on a downstream side in the extrusion direction, the slit latter stage unit having a width of three to 27 times a width of the slit former stage unit, and by extruding a raw material containing a first particle having an aspect ratio of two or more and less than 300 such that the raw material passes though the slit former stage unit of the extrusion die and then passes through the slit latter stage unit.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A ceramic formed body extrusion method for forming a ceramic formed body having a wall-shaped or plate-shaped formed portion,
by using an extrusion die provided with a slit for extrusion of a ceramic formed body having a wall-shaped or plate-shaped formed portion from a raw material for forming, the slit including a slit former stage unit located on an upstream side in an extrusion direction and a slit latter stage unit located on a downstream side in the extrusion direction, the slit latter stage unit having a width of from 3 to 27 times a width of the slit former stage unit, and
by extruding a raw material containing a first particle having an aspect ratio of from 2 to less than 300 such that the raw material passes though the slit former stage unit of the extrusion die and then passes through the slit latter stage unit.

2. The ceramic formed body extrusion method according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the first particle is 50% or less of a width of the slit latter stage unit.

3. The ceramic formed body extrusion method according to claim 1 , wherein the first particle is a pore former.

4. The ceramic formed body extrusion method according to claim 1 , wherein an addition amount of the first particle is 70% by volume or less with respect to a whole of the raw material.

5. The ceramic formed body extrusion method according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the slit latter stage unit is 8 mm or less.

6. The ceramic formed body extrusion method according to claim 1 , wherein the length of the slit latter stage unit in the extrusion direction is 13 mm or less.

7. The ceramic formed body extrusion method according to claim 1 , wherein the raw material contains at least one ceramic raw material selected from the group consisting of silicon carbide, cordierite, aluminum titanate, zirconia, aluminum oxide, a silicon carbide forming raw material, a cordierite forming raw material, an aluminum titanate forming raw material, and a zirconia forming raw material.

8. The ceramic formed body extrusion method according to claim 1 , wherein the extrusion die has at least one introduction hole communicating with the slit and provided to introduce the raw material into the slit.

9. The ceramic formed body extrusion method according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic formed body is a honeycomb-shaped ceramic formed body having partition walls for defining a plurality of cells, and the partition wall is the wall-shaped or plate-shaped formed portion.

10. The ceramic formed body extrusion method according to claim 1 , wherein the raw material contains a second particle having an aspect ratio of less than two, and the second particle is a pore former.
