【発明の名称】シリカスートの押出し成形によるシリカガラスハニカム構造体の製造方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002537205
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The present invention describes an extrusion process for manufacturing a glass honeycomb structure having a variety of shapes and sizes depending on its ultimate application. Unlike prior art honeycomb structures made from ceramics, the inventive glass honeycomb can be readily viscously bent and/or redrawn. Furthermore, the inventive honeycomb structure is lightweight, yet able to support heavy loads on its end faces. Therefore, the inventive honeycomb can be used as a light-weight support for such objects as mirrors. These honeycombs can be used singularly or in aggregates to provide such support. Embodiments are described wherein the mass of the honeycomb is further reduced by removing select portions of the honeycomb without deleteriously impacting its ability for load bearing.
