Production processes of an inorganic fiber-bonded ceramic component
comprising inorganic fibers mainly comprising Si, M, C and O, an
inorganic substance mainly comprising Si and O and boundary layers
comprising carbon as a main component; and an inorganic fiber-bonded
ceramic component comprising inorganic fibers which are composed mainly
of a sintered structure of SiC and contain specific metal atoms and
boundary layers composed mainly of carbon, wherein a preliminary shaped
material is set in a carbon die, covered with a carbon powder and then
hot-pressed to load a pseudo-isotropic pressure on the preliminary shaped
material; and a highly heat-resistant inorganic fiber-bonded ceramic
component almost free from the occurrence of peelings of surface fibers
or delamination, wherein fibers are aligned in a surface shape.
