    摘要: Cordierite-containing articles are produced by a method comprising the steps of providing raw materials including including alumina-yielding ingredients, magnesia-yielding ingredients, and silica-yielding ingredients, suitable to form an analytical batch composition by weight on an oxide basis of 9-20 weight percent MgO, 30-50 weight percent Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, and 41-56.5 weight percent SiO.sub.2. The raw materials include talc having a BET surface area of no greater than about 4.0 m.sup.2 /g, and uncalcined clay having an average particle size of no greater than about 2.0 .mu.m. The raw materials are blended with an effective amount of vehicle and forming aids to form a plastic mixture. The plastic mixture is anisostatically formed into a green body and dried. The dried green body is fired at a temperature and for a time effective to form a cordierite/containing ceramic article. The cordierite-containing articles exhibit a coefficient of thermal expansion of not greater than about 4.0.times.10.sup.-7 /.degree.C. and transverse I ratios of not less than about 0.85. The method of the present invention is particularly useful in forming cordierite honeycomb structures used as catalyst supports for automobiles or as particulate filters for the exhaust fluids of diesel engines.

    摘要: A method for treating a microcracked, ceramic substrate is provided that obviates the need for filling the microcracks of the substrate via a passivation step prior to sintering a layer of washcoat to the surfaces of the substrate that may either contain a catalyst, or provide a support layer for a catalyst subsequently applied. In the first step of the method, a slurry of particles of a washcoating composition is applied over the surface of the substrate such that particles of the composition are lodged into microcracks of the substrate. Next, the substrate is heat treated to between about 700° C. and 1300° C. The applicants have discovered that such heat treating not only sets the washcoating particles into the substrate, but also causes the microcracks in the substrate to permanently enlarge as a result of the resistance of the lodged particles of washcoating composition against the walls of the microcracks as they attempt to close as a result of thermal expansion of the substrate. The consequent enlargement of the microcracks advantageously reduces both the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the modulus of elasticity (Emod) of the resulting substrate without substantially reducing the modulus of rupture strength (MOR) of the resulting substrate such that the thermal shock parameter TSP=MOR/[CTE·Emod] remains substantially the same or is higher. The method is particularly applicable to ceramic honeycomb structures used as catalytic converters in automotive exhaust systems.

    摘要: A method of preparing a precursor or cordierite-forming particulate raw material mixture is improved upon by characterizing the talc particles utilized in the raw material mixture in accordance with a Morphology X-ray Diffraction Index or the surface area of the talc particles. Talc particles having a predetermined or desired Morphology X-ray Diffraction Index or surface area are utilized in preparing the raw material mixture. A cordierite article is produced having pores therethrough, which pores have shapes that are "blocky" or "platy" as a result of the talc morphology. "Platy" pores in the fired cordierite article result in higher Water Absorption values and an increase in coatability by high surface area washcoat and catalyst; conversely, "blocky" pores result in lower Water Absorption values and a decrease in coatability by high surface area washcoat and catalyst.
