The invention relates to a
thermal shock resistant thin-walled
cordierite honeycomb ceramics. The components of the
thermal shock resistant thin-walled
cordierite honeycomb ceramics comprise, by weight, 18-22 parts of bimodal alpha-
alumina micro
powder with the particle size of 3 mum, 0-10 parts of
activated alumina micro
powder with the particle size of 5 mum, 38-43 parts of
talc with the particle size of 8 mum, 10-15 parts of flake kaolin with the particle size of 2 mum, 20-25 parts of calcined kaolin with the particle size of 2 mum, and 5-10 parts of
fused quartz with the particle size of 5 mum. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) uniformly mixing the bimodal alpha-
alumina micro
powder and the
activated alumina micro powder; (2) uniformly mixing the resulting mixture from the step (1) and a surfactant; (3) uniformly mixing the resulting mixture from the step (2) and the
talc; (4) uniformly mixing the resulting mixture from the step (3) with the flake kaolin, the calcined kaolin, the
fused quartz, a binder, a
lubricant and water; (5) carrying out treatments of forming,
drying,
sintering and
thermal insulation, and then cooling to the
room temperature to obtain the
thermal shock resistant thin-walled
cordierite honeycomb ceramics. The thermal shock resistant thin-walled cordierite honeycomb ceramics of the present invention has advantages of high
mechanical strength, moderate
porosity, and low expansion coefficient. The thermal
shock resistance of the thermal shock resistant thin-walled cordierite honeycomb ceramics is that: the thermal shock resistant thin-walled cordierite honeycomb ceramics does not crack in three tests at the temperature of 750 DEG C. The thermal shock resistant thin-walled cordierite honeycomb ceramics meets the European IV
emission standard.
