    摘要: A structure made predominately of an NZP-type phase having the general formula RxZ4P6−ySiyO24, where 0≦x≦8, 0≦y≦6, R is Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Y, and/or lanthanides, and Z is Zr, Ti, Nb, Ta, Y, and/or lanthanidess, and optionally a sintering additive. The structure has an open porosity of at least 20% by volume, median pore diameter in micrometers of at least a value defined by the quantity [10−0.10(% open porosity)], both as measured by mercury porosimetry, and four-point modulus of rupture as measured on a solid rod of circular cross section, of at least 300 psi. Method of making the structure involves forming a mixture of NZP-forming raw material powders that are metal oxide sources capable of reacting to form an NZP-type reaction product, and/or pre-reacted powder having the above general formula. The volumetric average of the median particle diameters of the raw material powders in the raw materials combination is at least 15 micrometers, and the particle diameters of at least 65% by volume of the totality of the raw material particles are greater than 11 micrometers. The mixture is shaped into a green structure, and fired to produce the finished structure. The structure is preferably multicellular, e.g. a honeycomb, where a fluid stream enters the structure, passes through the cells and is acted upon, and exits the structure. The structure is preferably an alternately plugged honeycomb suitable as a diesel particulate filter.

There is also disclosed a method of sintering aluminum nitride bodies which employs a variable thermal cycle whereby the body is either heated slowly through a pre-sintering temperature range of 1300.degree. to 1750.degree. C., or held at a temperature within that range for at least a half hour. Optionally, a green aluminum nitride body may be provided with up to 10% by weight of at least one metal fluoride dopant, and may be provided with a sufficient weight to maintain flatness during firing.
