Abstract
A manufacturing apparatus capable of manufacturing metal-ceramic composite members in various shapes with high productivity, and a mold member and a manufacturing method therefor. An apparatus for manufacturing a metal-ceramic composite member has a plurality of process regions, namely, an atmosphere replacing/heating part, a molten metal push-out part, and a cooling part; and a guide for allowing a mold to pass through these plural process regions. The molds have ceramic members placed therein and are successively inserted into a mold inlet provided in the guide to pass through the guide practically in a shielded state from the atmosphere. A molten metal is poured thereto in the molten-metal push-out part, and the molten metal is cooled and solidified in the cooling part to join a metal and a ceramic, thereby manufacturing the metal-ceramic composite member.
