Abstract

Mica-containing ceramic composite having excellent characteristics such as capability of machining work, a small thermal expansion coefficient, high heat-shock resistant temperature difference as well as high heat deformation temperature, is prepared by: a) preparing powder mixture by blending 20 to 50% by weight of mica powder, 15 to 40% by weight of zinc oxide powder, 10 to 20% by weight of silica powder, 8 to 20% by weight of boric acid powder, and 4 to 20% by weight of cordierite powder; b) heating the powder mixture at a temperature of from 940.degree. C. to 1,050.degree. C. to prepare baked product; c) pulverizing the baked product into very fine powder to thereby obtain a shaping material; d) adding an organic binder to the shaping material to prepare a shaping composition; and e) shaping the shaping composition into a shaped body and heating a shaped body at a temperature ranging from 940.degree. C. to 1,050.degree. C. with simultaneous application of pressure to the shaped body to render the same into a baked body.
