Abstract

See full text

A honeycomb filter is composed mainly of silicon carbide or of metallic silicon and silicon carbide; the filter being formed by bonding a plurality of honeycomb segments each of which has a plurality of through-holes being partitioned by porous partition walls. The filter is plugged alternately at the exhaust gas inlet face and exhaust gas outlet face of honeycomb segments. Each two adjacent honeycomb segments are contacted with each other at each a portion of their sides facing each other. They are bonded with each other at least at part of each portion of said sides other than the contacted portion through a bonding material having a strength lower than that of a basal body of honeycomb segment. Thus, the thermal stresses generated among the respective portions constituting the filter is reduced. The generation of cracks, etc. can be also prevented considerably.
