Abstract
A method for producing a ceramic honeycomb structure comprising a ceramic honeycomb body having large numbers of longitudinal cells partitioned by porous cell walls having porosity of 50% or more, and a peripheral wall formed on a peripheral surface of the ceramic honeycomb body, comprising the steps of extruding moldable ceramic material to form a honeycomb-structured ceramic green body; machining a peripheral portion of the green body or a sintered body obtained from the green body to remove part of cell walls in the peripheral portion to obtain a ceramic honeycomb body having longitudinal grooves on a peripheral surface; applying colloidal metal oxide to a peripheral surface of the ceramic honeycomb body and drying it, and then applying a coating material comprising ceramic aggregate having an average particle size of 1 μm or more to form the peripheral wall.
