Abstract
A silicon nitride sintered body essentially consisting of compounds of Sr, Mg, Ce, Zr and Al in amounts of from 0.1 to 18% by weight when calculated as SrO, from 0.2 to 25% by weight when calculated as MgO, from 0.1 to 20% by weight when calculated as CeO.sub.2, from 0.1 to 15% by weight when calculated as ZrO.sub.2 and from 1 to 20% by weight when calculated as Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, respectively, and the balance being silicon nitride. A method of manufacturing the silicon nitride sintered body is also disclosed. The silicon nitride sintered body has a low thermal conductivity while high mechanical strength and high fracture toughness being maintained.
