Abstract
A honeycomb structure includes aluminum titanate, cell walls, and pore portions. The cell walls extend along a longitudinal direction of the honeycomb structure to define cells between the cell walls. The pore portions have an average pore diameter of about 10 μm to about 20 μm. A length of a longest pore portion among the pore portions in a binary image including substrate portions and the pore portions is about 8 times or less of the average pore diameter. The binary image is converted from a microscopic image of a cross section of the cell walls in parallel with the longitudinal direction. The length is measured along a line drawn in a direction perpendicular to a thickness direction of the cell walls.
