Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a silicon nitride sintered body comprising a silicon nitride crystalline particle and a grain boundary phase, the silicon nitride sintered body having an area ratio of the grain boundary phase per 100 μm×100 μm unit area of 15 to 35% when an arbitrary cross section thereof is photographed. Further, it is preferable that the area ratio of the grain boundary phase per 100 μm×100 μm unit area is 15 to 25%. Furthermore, the silicon nitride sintered body is suitable for a wear resistant member. Due to above structure, there can be provided a silicon nitride sintered body and a wear resistant member having a high processability (workability) and an excellent sliding property.
