Abstract:
1. A honeycomb filter comprising: a tubular honeycomb structure having porous partition walls which define and form a plurality of cells extending from an inflow end surface to an outflow end surface; and a plurality of plugged portions which plug open frontal areas of the first cells on the side of the inflow end surface among the cells formed in the honeycomb structure, and open frontal areas of the second cells other than the first cells on the side of the outflow end surface, wherein the partition walls are made of a partition wall material including a plurality of aggregates containing silicon carbide or silicon nitride as a main component, and a binding material which binds the aggregates to one another in a state where pores are formed so that a porosity of the partition was is from 35 to 70%, the partition wall material contains 15 to 35 mass % of the binding material in a total mass of the aggregates and the binding material, the binding material is made of a material in which mullite particles as reinforcing particles are dispersed in cordierite, a thermal expansion coefficient of the partition was at 40 to 800° C. is 4.2×10 when a value of a stress applied to the partition wall material at 900° C. is normalized by the maximum value of the stress applied to the partition wall material, a percentage of a plastic deformation displacement in a total displacement at a normalized stress value of 0.9 is in a range of 0.3 to 10%.
