Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a method for forming a die for use in fabricating a ceramic honeycomb monolith structure having passages separated by walls having predetermined thicknesses. The method involves forming slots in the die and then applying a uniform coating of iron boride, chromium carbide, aluminum oxide, titanium carbide, titanium nitride or titanium carbonitride to the slot-defining surfaces of the die through CVD, the coating ranging in thickness up to 30 microns and being controlled in thickness to ±1 micron.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A method for forming an extrusion die suitable for fabricating a ceramic honeycomb monolith structure having separated walls of predetermined thicknesses in parallel relationship to the longitudinal axis of said structure by forming slots in the die, and then applying a uniform coating selected from the group of iron boride, chromium carbide, aluminum oxide, titanium carbide, titanium nitride, and titanium carbonitride to the slot-defining surfaces of the die through chemical vapor deposition, that coating ranging in thickness up to about 30 microns and being controlled in thickness to ±1 micron.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
90 words
A method for forming an extrusion die suitable for fabricating a ceramic honeycomb monolith structure having separated walls of predetermined thicknesses in parallel relationship to the longitudinal axis of said structure by forming slots in the die, and then applying a uniform coating selected from the group of iron boride, chromium carbide, aluminum oxide, titanium carbide, titanium nitride, and titanium carbonitride to the slot-defining surfaces of the die through chemical vapor deposition, that coating ranging in thickness up to about 30 microns and being controlled in thickness to ±1 micron.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said coating ranges less than about 20 microns in thickness.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said ceramic honeycomb monolith structure has at least 400 passages per square inch separated by walls having thicknesses of less than 0.008".
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
75 words
An extrusion die suitable for fabricating a ceramic honeycomb monolith structure having separated walls of predetermined thicknesses in parallel relationship to the longitudinal axis of said structure, said die consisting essentially of steel, the slot-defining surfaces thereof having a uniform coating thereon ranging in thickness up to 30 microns and being controlled in thickness to ±1 micron selected from the group of iron boride, chromium carbide, aluminum oxide, titanium carbide, titanium nitride, and titanium carbonitride.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
75 words
An extrusion die suitable for fabricating a ceramic honeycomb monolith structure having separated walls of predetermined thicknesses in parallel relationship to the longitudinal axis of said structure, said die consisting essentially of steel, the slot-defining surfaces thereof having a uniform coating thereon ranging in thickness up to 30 microns and being controlled in thickness to ±1 micron selected from the group of iron boride, chromium carbide, aluminum oxide, titanium carbide, titanium nitride, and titanium carbonitride.
