Abstract: To provide a ceramic heat exchanger which has reduced joints, and thus, is easy to produce and less likely to leak and a method of producing same. The ceramic heat exchanger 1 according to the present invention comprises a body 2 having first channels 21 for a high-temperature medium to flow and second channels 22 for a low-temperature medium to flow, and lids 3 each having openings 31, joined to the body 2 at opposite ends 2a, 2b with the openings 31 connected to the first channels 21, the body 2 further having inlet channels 23 formed in a first channel 21 outlet-side end portion 2a to allow the low-temperature medium to enter the body at a side thereof and flow into the second channels 22, and outlet channels 24 formed in a first channel 21 inlet-side end portion 2b to allow the low-temperature medium to flow out of the second channels 22 and leave the body at the side thereof.

Abstract: A corrosion-resistant silicon nitride ceramics in which an adhesion enhancing layer (3), a stress relaxing layer (4) and a crack extension preventing layer (5) are laminated in this order on a ceramic substrate (2) composed mainly of silicon nitride, and a surface corrosion-resistant layer (6) composed mainly of zirconium oxide stabilized by an element of the group 3a of the periodic table is laminated. The thermal expansion coefficient (?0) of the ceramic substrate (2), the thermal expansion coefficient(?1) of the adhesion enhancing layer (3), and the thermal expansion coefficient (?2) of the stress relaxing layer (4), the thermal expansion coefficient (?3) of the crack extension preventing layer (5), and the thermal expansion coefficient (?4) of the surface corrosion-resistant layer (6) satisfy the following relational expressions (I) to (III): ?0??1??(I) ?3<?2??(II) ?3<?4??(III).
