Abstract:
1. A silicon carbide-containing porous body comprising a plurality of silicon carbide (SiC) particles as an aggregate and a plurality of binding phases comprising a crystal phase having the largest volume and a crystal phase having the second largest volume, which bind the silicon carbide particles to each other, wherein of the binding phases, the crystal phase having the largest volume is either one of the crystal phase having the second largest volume is the other of the content of the binder constituting the binding phases, which is calculated by the following formula: is 5 to 60% by volume, and the binding phases contain the Si phase by 20 to 80% by volume of the total binding phases, and the metal silicide phase by 20 to 80% by volume of the total binding phases.
