Abstract
A die for extruding a honeycomb structural body for a catalyst support, which catalyst removes harmful gases in exhaust gas, composing of an integral metal block provided with (a) one surface provided with a plurality of circular perforated holes A having a given depth and a given pattern and a grid-formed slits conforming to a cross-sectional shape of a honeycomb structural body to be extruded and (b) another surface provided with a plurality of perforated holes B having a given depth and a given pattern, said slits connecting to the holes B, having a smaller width than a diameter of the holes A and passing through center of the holes A. Said die is manufactured by providing the slits after perforating the holes A.

A die for extruding a honeycomb structural body composing of an integral metal block provided with
- (a) one surface provided with a plurality of circular perforated holes A having a given depth and a given pattern and a grid-formed slits conforming to a cross-sectional shape of a extruded honeycomb structural body to be extruded and
- (b) another surface provided with a plurality of perforated holes B having a given depth and a given pattern,
- said slits connecting to the holes B, having a smaller width than a diameter of the holes A and passing through center of the holes A.
A method for manufacturing a die for extruding a honeycomb structural body, which comprises
- (a) perforating a plurality of circular holes A having a given depth and a given pattern on one surface of an integral metal block,
- (b) perforating a plurality of holes B having a given depth and a given pattern on another surface of said block and
- (c) providing a grid-formed slits conforming to a cross-sectional shape of a honeycomb structural body to be extruded and connecting to the holes B on the surface provided with the holes A, said slits having a smaller width than a diameter of the holes A and the slits which pass through the holes A, passing through center of the holes A.
A method for manufacturing a die for extruding a honeycomb structural body, which comprises
- (a') perforating a plurality of circular holes A having a given depth and a given pattern on one surface of an integral metal block,
- (b') providing a grid-formed slits conforming to a cross-sectional shape of a honeycomb structural body to be extruded on the block surface provided with the holes A,
- (c') perforating a plurality of holes B having a given depth and a given pattern and connecting to the slits on another surface of said block and said slits having a smaller width than a diameter of the holes A and the slits which pass through the holes A, passing through the center of the holes A,
A method for manufacturing a die for extruding a honeycomb structural body, which comprises
- (a") perforating a plurality of holes B having a given depth and a given pattern on one surface of an integral metal block,
- (b") perforating a plurality of circular holes A having a given depth and a given pattern on another surface of said block,
- (c") providing a grid-formed slits conforming to a cross-sectional shape of a honeycomb structural body to be extruded and connecting to the holes B on the surface provided with the holes A, said slits having a smaller width than the diameter of the holes A and the slits which pass through the holes A, passing through center of the holes A.
A die for extruding a honeycomb structural body comprised of an integral metal block having first and second opposing surfaces, said first opposing surface being provided with a plurality of first circular perforated holes and with a grid of slits conforming to the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb structural body to be extruded from said die, said grid-formed slits being superimposed upon said first circular perforated holes such that each intersection of said grid is centered within one of said first circular perforated holes;
- said second opposing surface being provided with a plurality of second perforated holes, the number and placement of said second perforated holes being such that alternate first perforated holes are connected with said second perforated holes, said second perforated holes having a larger diameter than said first circular perforated holes, said slits having a smaller width than the diameter of said first circular perforated holes.
A method for manufacturing a die for extruding a honeycomb structural body comprising
- (a) perforating a first opposing surface of an integral metal block having first and second opposing surfaces with a plurality of first circular holes;
- (b) superimposing a grid of slits conforming to the cross-sectional shape of the honeycomb structural body to be extruded from said die upon said first circular perforated holes, said slits having a smaller width than the diameter of said first circular perforated holes, said superimposition being such that each intersection of said grid is centered within one of said first circular perforated holes;
- (c) perforating said second opposing surface with a plurality of second perforated holes, the number and placement of said second perforated holes being such that alternate first perforated holes are connected with said second perforated holes, said second perforated holes having a larger diameter than said first circular perforated holes.
