Abstract
A joint body in which aluminum and silicon nitride are strongly joined with each other is provided at a low cost, thereby providing a lightweight part which is excellent in sliding property as a mechanical part of an internal combustion engine of an automobile or the like. The joint body includes a base material which is mainly composed of aluminum, and a member consisting of a silicon nitride sintered body which is substantially directly joined to the base material. A powdery or bulky base material (2) mainly composed of aluminum, and a member (1) consisting of a silicon nitride sintered body are charged in a mold and heated under pressurization, thereby joining the same with each other.
