摘要
The invention comprehends a silicon nitride sintered body having consistent qualities, a process for producing the same, a ceramic heater employing the silicon nitride sintered body as a substrate and a glow plug containing the ceramic heater as a heat source. In the production of a silicon nitride sintered body through a hot press method, a sintering aid protecting agent is added to the raw material. The employable protecting agents are metallic elements such as Ta, W and Mo and compounds of the metallic elements such as nitrides and silicides. Conversion of these elements and compounds to carbides occurs preferentially to reduction of the sintering aid. Thus, it becomes possible to suppress reduction of the sintering aid in a reducing atmosphere formed, for example, of carbon monoxide, which is generated particularly when a graphite pressing die is employed. A ceramic heater which comprises a substrate formed from the silicon nitride sintered body and a resistance heater embedded in the substrate is obtained. Further, a glow plug containing the ceramic heater serving as a heat source is obtained.
