Abstract
A sintered body assembly having an inner section and an outer section is formed from independent inner and outer compacts corresponding to the inner and outer sections, respectively. The inner and outer compacts are so shaped that a predetermined clearance is provided therebetween. The outer compact is larger in shrinkage percentage at the time of sintering than the inner compact such that the clearance is filled by the compacts at the time of sintering thereby allowing the compacts to be formed into a single sintered body or an integral unit.
