Abstract
The method for producing a fired body of the invention has the steps of: preparing a starting material mixture; molding the mixture to obtain a green molded body; a first heating step to make the molded body contain residual carbon-containing substances in a furnace by increasing the temperature of the furnace while introducing an oxygen containing gas; and a second heating step to obtain a fired body by further increasing the temperature of the furnace without introducing the oxygen containing gas; wherein the conditions for the first heating step are set so that when the molded body is allowed to stand after the first heating step in an oxygen-containing atmosphere at 900° C., the temperature at the center section of the molded body is at least 20° C. higher than the temperature of the atmosphere in the furnace.
