PURPOSE: To provide a reinforced SiC-based ceramic member maintaining high mechanical strength, improved in reliability and reduced in production cost. ;CONSTITUTION: The reinforced ceramic member with SiC as matrix is made up of (A) a reinforcing layer 1 with the SiC matrix incorporated with at least one kind of reinforcing material selected from long fibers, short fibers and whiskers, which is served only for a practical work surface such as a sliding surface, stress concentrating surface and a thermal action- or chemical action- affecting surface, etc., and a layer, close to such surface and (B) the rest consisting of a conventional SiC sintered compact layer 2 (monolithic SiC layer).;COPYRIGHT: (C)1994,JPO
