Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a ceramic honeycomb structure comprising the steps of: (a) compounding a powder batch mixture for a ceramic core or skin component for a ceramic honeycomb structure comprising at least one inorganic powder, an aqueous vehicle, at least one cross-linkable batch constituent, and at least one batch cross-link agent for the at least one cross-linkable batch constituent; (b) forming the batch mixture into a green cellular core or skin component for a honeycomb structure, said structure being a unitary ceramic structure of honeycomb configuration, (c) drying the green core or skin component to remove aqueous vehicle therefrom, (d) reacting the at least one batch cross-link agent with the at least one cross-linkable batch constituent to produce a cross-linked, unfired core or skin component, and (e) subjecting the cross-linked, unfired core or skin component to supplemental processing with an aqueous medium.
