Abstract
A wear resistant member formed of ceramic sintered body mainly composed of silicon nitride, the ceramic sintered body containing 10 to 3500 ppm of an Fe component in terms of Fe element, more than 1000 ppm to 2000 ppm of a Ca component in terms of Ca element, and 1 to 2000 ppm of a Mg component in terms of Mg element, wherein a β-phase ratio of silicon nitride crystal grains is 95% or more, a maximum longer diameter of the silicon nitride crystal grains is 40 μm or less, Ca component existing in grain boundary phase is not detected by XRD (X-ray Diffraction method), and each of dispersions in Vickers hardness, fracture toughness and density of the wear resistant member is within a range of ±10%. According to this structure, there can be obtained a wear resistant member comprising a ceramic sintered body improved in grinding-work property in addition to an excellent wear resistant property.
