METHOD FOR PRODUCING HONEYCOMB STRUCTURED BODY, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SI-SIC-BASED COMPOSITE MATERIAL, AND HONEYCOMB STRUCTURED BODY

摘要

A honeycomb structure 20 according to the present invention is produced by a method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure, the method including the steps of burying a burial base material into pores of a porous honeycomb base material which is provided with a partition portion 22 constituting a plurality of cells 23 and which has a SiC phase and an oxide phase containing a Si oxide, where the burial base material contains metal Si particles having a particle diameter smaller than the pore diameter of the pore and metal Al particles having a particle diameter smaller than the pore diameter of the pore, and melting the metal Si particles and the metal Al particles, which are contained in the burial base material, by heating the porous honeycomb base material including the buried burial base material in an inert atmosphere, so as to form a metal phase containing metal Si and metal Al in pores of the porous honeycomb base material.
