Abstract
Abstract A method of making a ceramic shaped article from an inorganic raw material powder by extrusion molding is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of kneading an inorganic raw material powder with a plasticizer to obtain a kneaded body which is then molded by extrusion into a fluid having a high humidity to obtain a ceramic shaped article having no deformation and strain. The plasticizer is selected from the group consisting of mono-liquid type resin which is a water insoluble synthetic resin dissolved in a water soluble solvent and a hydraulic setting resin mainly consisting of polyurethane isocyanate prepolymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A method of making a honeycomb-shaped ceramic article by extrusion molding, comprising the steps of kneading an inorganic ceramic raw material powder with a plasticizer formed of a resin which is a water insoluble synthetic resin dissolved in a water soluble solvent, to form a kneaded body, the volume ratio of said inorganic raw material to said plasticizer being in the range of 100:50 to 100:200, and shaping a honeycomb-shaped ceramic article by extruding said kneaded body through a shaped orifice and then into water for hardening the honeycomb-shaped ceramic article without deformation or strain.
