Abstract
A high-strength sintered article of chemical substances having the .beta.-silicon nitride type crystal structure is produced by blending 50 to 99.9 weight percent of a .beta.-silicon nitride and/or .beta.'-Sialon and 50 to 0.1 weight percent of a mixture, as a sintering aid, consisting of BeO, Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3, and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 in respective amounts such as to have a Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 /BeO ratio in the range of from 2.8 to 9.4, an Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 /BeO ratio in the range of from 0.0 to 2.6, and an Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 /Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 ratio in the range of from 0.0 to 1.1, all ratios being ratios by weight and sintering the resultant blend.
