Abstract
A method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure according to the present invention is a method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure provided with partitions forming a plurality of cells. This manufacturing method includes a structure formation process including a pore-forming material placement step of placing a pore-forming material for forming pores in the partitions, a raw material placement step of placing tabular grains and raw material grains such that the tabular grains are arranged in a predetermined direction with respect to the partition surfaces while the tabular grains and the raw material grains constitute a raw material for forming the partitions, and a sintering step of sintering the placed raw material. The honeycomb structure is produced by repeating the structure formation process a plurality of times.
