    Abstract: Honeycomb bodies, honeycomb structures and extrusion dies, including a transition structural component. A honeycomb structure (100) includes a plurality of interconnected webs (106) defining a plurality of cell channels (108) in a honeycomb matrix (109) having a central axis (110) orthogonal to its transverse cross-section. Radial webs (116) diverge outwardly from the central axis (110). Radial webs (116) include a first radial web (150) and a second radial web (152). Tangential webs (120) are arranged concentrically with respect to the central axis (110), wherein at least one of the tangential webs (120) is a tangential transition web (142). At least one transition structural component (140) is located radially inward from the tangential transition web (124) and includes a first inclined web (144) having a first end (144A) coupled to the first radial web (150) and a second inclined web (146) having a first end (146A) coupled to the second radial web (152). Extrusion dies configured to make the honeycomb structures are provided, as are other aspects.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for rapid drying of ceramic greenwares having a high graphite content are disclosed. The methods include employing microwave drying to bring the dryness of the ceramic greenware to a first select dryness and then employing close-coupled hot-air drying to bring the dryness to the final target dryness. The judicious use of close-coupled hot-air drying reduces end defects due to unevenness in the microwave drying process while also substantially speeding up the drying process. Various configurations for and combinations of microwave drying and close-coupled hot-air drying are disclosed.

    Abstract: An extrusion system (100) includes at least one sensor (102, 104) to detect localized presence of oil (701) on an exterior surface (715) or skin of wet extrudate material (714 e.g., ceramic material having a honeycomb cross-sectional shape), and at least one infrared emitting device (106, 108) configured to impinge infrared emissions on at least a portion of the exterior surface responsive to one or more sensor signals. Localized impingement of infrared emissions may reduce presence of oil streaks (701) without undue differential drying of the extrudate skin (715), and avoid surface fissures that would otherwise result in fired ceramic bodies. Separately controllable infrared emitters (502), or at least one controllable infrared blocking or redirecting element (603), may be used to impinge infrared emissions on selected areas. A humidification section (120) arranged downstream of infrared emitters (106, 108) may be used to at least partially rehydrate the wet extrudate material, if necessary.
