Abstract: A laminate includes a first glass article having a first thickness, a first annealing point (TA1), and a first softening point (TS1), a second glass article having a second thickness, a second annealing point (TA2), and a second softening point (TS2), and an interlayer disposed between the first glass article and the second glass article. The first thickness is greater than the second thickness, the second annealing point (TA2) is less than or equal to the first annealing point (TA1), and the second softening point (TS2) is greater than the first softening point (TS1).

Abstract: Methods are provided for solving a process function for modification of a non-test die for use in extrusion of a honeycomb body. The process function is solved by comparing measured widths of a plurality of slots between pins of a test die in the post-removal state and measured widths of a plurality of slots between pins of the test die in the pre-removal state. Methods are also provided for modifying a non-test die for use in extrusion of a honeycomb body. Such methods remove non-test-die material from a plurality of pins of the non-test die based on application of the process function.
