Abstract: A ceramic composite material is comprised of a fabric of fibers of an inorganic substance; and a matrix for combining the fibers. The matrix consists essentially of a ceramic. The matrix is formed by burying the fabric in a mixture of a powder of carbon, a powder of silicon and a medium including an organic solvent, producing an oscillation in the mixture to impregnate the fabric with the mixture, and calcining the fabric impregnated with the mixture.

Abstract: A plurality of film cooling holes are formed, so as to communicate with a front cooling passage, in a vane surface on the front-edge side of a stator vane body of a turbine stator vane. The hole cross-section of each of the film cooling holes has a rectangular long-hole shape extending in a direction parallel to the cross-section along the span direction and having a rounded corner. The hole-center line of each of the film cooling holes is inclined with respect to the thickness direction in the cross-section along the span direction. The exit-side portion of the hole wall surface of each of the film cooling holes is inclined with respect to the thickness direction by a greater degree than that of the hole-center line.

Abstract: A high strength, high toughness stainless steel consisting, by weight, of C more than 0.16% but less than 0.25%, Si not more than 2.0%, Mn not more than 1.0%, Ni not more than 2.0%, Cr from 11 to 15%, Mo not less than 0.5% but less than 3.0%, Co from 12 to 21%, at least one kind selected from the group consisting of V from 0.1 to 0.5% and Nb less than 0.1% which at least one kind is added as occasion demands, and the balance Fe and incidental impurities. This steel is produced by a method comprising the steps of: preparing a stainless steel having the composition of any one of the claims 1 to 4; subjecting the stainless steel to a solution heat treatment at a temperature of 950 to 1150.degree. C.; quenching the steel; subjecting the steel to a sub zero treatment at a temperature of -50.degree. to -100.degree. C.; and subjecting the steel to a tempering at a temperature of 120.degree. to 450.degree. C.
