Abstract: A brazed sintered compact composed of first and second components, which are easily positioned relative to each other, enabling the provision of a good joining clearance. If a protrusion 3 of a first component 1 is fitted into a recess 13 of a second component 10, both components are able to be positioned relative to each other. Simultaneously, a joining clearance A can be easily obtained between a joining surface 2 of the first component 1 and a joining surface 12 of the second component 10, corresponding to a dimensional difference therebetween. Also, an inner side surface 4a of a storage groove 4 is aligned with a right or left end 11a of a leg 11, disposed opposite to the inner side surface 4a. Accordingly, it is possible to allow as much brazing material as properly needed to permeate between the joining surfaces 2 and 12. Further, as the surface tension of the surplus brazing material becomes unlikely to be developed in the storage grooves 4,4?, the backflow of the material is prevented.
