Abstract
High-strength Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 -based material with a narrow range spread of values for mechanical properties useful for producing thick-walled ceramic parts for internal combustion engines, thick-walled ceramic fittings or cutting tools is produced by molding a powder-form starting mixture comprising powdered Si.sub.3 N.sub.4, finely divided elemental silicon and sintering additives, and subsequently heat treating the mixture to obtain a sintered molding very near the theoretical density of the material.
