A method for forming honeycomb structures, such as wall-flow honeycomb
filters, which utilizes extrusion of multiple material supplies at once.
Such methods may be used to form intermittent plugs or other structures
in the cell channels during the extrusion process, for example. A die
assembly is provided which includes secondary feedholes machined in the
pins for intermittently or periodically injecting secondary material
(e.g., plug material) into the cell channels of the honeycomb structure
while it is being extruded.
