Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A honeycomb structure having crystal phases of aluminum titanate and mullite, which is obtained by sintering a honeycomb molding made of a mixture comprising titania powder, alumina powder, silica powder and mullite powder, the mixture containing 1-10 parts by mass of silica powder and 5-30 parts by mass of mullite powder per the total amount (100 parts by mass) of the titania powder and the alumina powder, and the mullite powder containing 40-60% by mass of particles having particle sizes of 10-50 gm and 5-30% by mass of particles having particle sizes of 3 gm or less, and its production method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A honeycomb structure obtained by sintering a honeycomb molding made of a mixture comprising titania powder, alumina powder, silica powder and mullite powder, said mixture containing 1-10 parts by mass of silica powder and 5-30 parts by mass of mullite powder per the total amount (100 parts by mass) of said titania powder and said alumina powder, and said mullite powder having a maximum particle size of 75 μm or less and containing 40-60% by mass of particles having particle sizes of 10-50 μm and 5-30% by mass of particles having particle sizes of 3 μm or less, wherein the honeycomb structure has main crystal phases of aluminum titanate and mullite, which said aluminum titanate is silica-aluminum titanate solid solution. 2. The honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein said alumina has an average particle size of 0.2-50 μm. 3. The honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein said titania has an average particle size of 0.1-10 μm. 4. A method for producing a honeycomb structure having crystal phases composed of aluminum titanate and mullite, where the aluminum titanate is silica-aluminum titanate solid solution, comprising the step of sintering a honeycomb molding made of a mixture comprising titania powder, alumina powder, silica powder and mullite powder, said mixture containing 1-10 parts by mass of silica powder and 5-30 parts by mass of mullite powder per the total amount (100 parts by mass) of said titania powder and said alumina powder, and said mullite powder having a maximum particle size of 75 μm or less and containing 40-60% by mass of particles having particle sizes of 10-50 μm and 5-30% by mass of particles having particle sizes of 3 μm or less, wherein the honeycomb structure has main crystal phases of aluminum titanate and mullite, which said aluminum titanate is silica-aluminum titanate solid solution. 5. The honeycomb structure according to claim 2 , wherein said titania has an average size of 0.1-10 μm. 6. The honeycomb structure according to claim 1 , wherein said silica is partially dissolved in the crystalline aluminum titanate during sintering.
