The present invention provides a joined body having a first member 7, a
second member 4 and a joining material 14 interposed between the first
and second members. The joining material has a porous bone structure 15
with open pores and made of a sintered product of metal powder and
impregnated phase 10 impregnated into the open pores. The impregnated
phase 10 includes an oxynitride glass. The joined body has improved
resistance against fatigue and fracture, even when the body is subjected
to thermal cycles between high and room temperatures and held at a high
temperature over a long period of time.
