    Abstract: A honeycomb extrusion die (120) with improved wear properties. Extrusion die has a die body (121) with inlet (122) and exit (123) faces, feedholes (124) with feedhole entrances (124A) and outlets (124B), and a plurality of die pins (126) having side surfaces (128) configured to define a matrix of intersecting slots (130). At least some of the intersecting slots and die pins define a slot structure with divots (132) formed in the side surfaces of the die pins between the feedholes and the exit face, entrance slot portions between the feedhole outlets and the divots, the entrance slot portions having an entrance slot width WA, and exit slot portions between the divots and the exit face, the exit slot portions having an exit slot width WB, wherein WA>WB over an entire slot length. Methods of manufacturing honeycomb structures using the honeycomb extrusion dies and of fabricating the extrusion dies are provided as are other aspects.

    Abstract: Improved extrusion dies are described herein for manufacturing a honeycomb body structure (330) from honeycomb extrudate (104). An improved extrusion die (102) comprises a swell relief feature in a discharge slot (218) of the extrusion die (102) that is disposed upstream of a discharge surface (214) of the extrusion die (102). The swell relief feature comprises a change in the width (W) of the discharge slot (218).

    Abstract: An extrusion die (16) including a plurality of pins (38) having side surfaces defining an intersecting array of slots (30) extending axially into the die (16) from a discharge face (34) of the die (16). A plurality of feedholes (28) extend axially from an inlet face (32) of the die (16) opposite to the discharge face (34). The feedholes (28) connect with the slots (30) at intersections (35) within the die (16) to create a flow path from the inlet face (32) to the discharge face (34). A first coating (42) is on at least a portion of the feedholes (28) in a first zone (46) extending over a first axial length of the flow path. A second coating (44) that is different than the first coating (42) is on at least a portion of the side surfaces (37) of the pins (38) in a second zone (48) extending over a second axial length of the flow path. Methods of fabricating an extrusion die (16) and manufacturing a ceramic article (100), such as a honeycomb body, are also disclosed.

    Abstract: An extrusion apparatus including a die and a mask are provided such that no slots feed directly into the longitudinal skin forming gap between the mask and the die. In a method of forming a die adapted to improve skin uniformity of extruded cellular ceramic substrates a slotted block of die material is provided including central slots adapted to form a cellular matrix of the substrate and peripheral slots located outwardly of the central slots designed to be covered by a skin former mask and adapted to extrude peripheral batch material. An arcuate skin former is cut corresponding to a target shrinkage so as to intersect the slotted block such that skin flow from tangent slots at 90 degree positions of the die is limited to the peripheral batch material.
