Abstract

A circumferential coating material to be applied to a circumferential surface of a honeycomb structure made of ceramics formed by extrusion, the circumferential coating material including a ceramic raw material that forms a circumferential coating layer,wherein the ceramic raw material contains:a ceramic mixture of first ceramic particles having particulate shapes, and second ceramic particles having particulate shapes and an average particle diameter different from an average particle diameter of the first ceramic particles; anda fiber material having an elongated strip-like shape,wherein the ceramic mixture has particle size distribution including at least two local maximum values, andthe fiber material has an average fiber length ranging from 30 to 100 μm in a longitudinal direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A circumferential coated honeycomb structure comprising: a honeycomb structure made of ceramics formed by extrusion, including porous partition walls configured to define a plurality of cells that extends from one end face to the other end face to form a fluid flow path, and a circumferential coating layer formed by applying a circumferential coating material to at least part of a circumferential surface of the honeycomb structure, the circumferential coating material including a ceramic raw material that forms the circumferential coating layer,
wherein the ceramic raw material contains:
a ceramic mixture of first ceramic particles having particulate shapes, and second ceramic particles having particulate shapes and an average particle diameter different from an average particle diameter of the first ceramic particles; and
a fiber material having an elongated strip-like shape,
wherein the ceramic mixture has particle size distribution including at least two local maximum values,
the fiber material has an average fiber length ranging from 30 to 100 μm in a longitudinal direction, and
wherein the circumferential coating layer has a maximum height roughness Rz ranging from 100 to 250 μm.

2. The circumferential coated honeycomb structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the particle size distribution of the ceramic mixture includes a first local maximum value ranging from 5 to 70 μm and a second local maximum value ranging from 40 to 280 μm.

3. The circumferential coated honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber material is a crystalline inorganic fiber.

4. The circumferential coated honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first ceramic particles and the second ceramic particles are similar in component.
