Abstract
Sintered bodies with the primary phase of .beta. and/or .alpha. prime sialon. In the sialon phase which is the primary phase, hafnium oxide and silicon carbide are dispersedly contained as dispersion phases. 1 to 60 parts by weight of hafnium oxide are contained in 100 parts by weight of the primary phase. 5 to 30 parts by weight of silicon carbide are contained in 100 parts by weight of the primary phase. Hafnium oxide suppresses decrease of sintering characteristic which is caused by silicon carbide. Thus, a large amount of silicon carbide can be added, thereby improving the fracture toughness value.
