Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a honeycomb structure 100 comprising partition walls 1 separating and forming a plurality of cells 2 functioning as fluid passages. The partition walls 1 are made of cordierite, and, when an average pore size of the partition walls 1 is x (μm) while a porosity of the partition walls 1 is y (%), a relation of x and y is y≦−8.33x+86.66 and satisfies 0.5≦x≦5 and 35≦y≦70. The honeycomb structure 100 can improve thermal shock resistance without sacrificing any of light-off performance, catalyst coatability, and strength.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A honeycomb structure comprising partition walls separating and forming a plurality of cells functioning as fluid passages, wherein the partition walls are made of cordierite and are formed to have a thickness of 0.064 to 0.165 mm, and, when an average pore size of the partition walls is x (μm) while a porosity of the partition walls is y (%), a relation of x and y is y≦−8.33x+86.66 and satisfies 45≦y≦70 and 0.5≦x≦1.9. 2. The honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal shock resistance temperature is 650° C. or more. 3. The honeycomb structure according to claim 2 , wherein A-axis compressive strength is 5.0 MPa or more. 4. The honeycomb structure according to claim 2 , wherein the A-axis compressive strength is 7.0 MPa or more. 5. The honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein A-axis compressive strength is 5.0 MPa or more. 6. The honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein the A-axis compressive strength is 7.0 MPa or more. 7. The honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein the cells functioning as fluid passages are open on the inlet and outlet sides of the honeycomb structure. 8. The honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the partition walls satisfies 47.1≦y≦70.
