Abstract: A Ni-base directionally solidified superalloy and a Ni-base single-crystal superalloy, which have superior creep strength at a high temperature, consists essentially of from 5.0 percent by weight to 7.0 percent by weight of Al, from 4.0 percent by weight to 16.0 percent by weight of Ta+Nb+Ti, from 1.0 percent by weight to 4.5 percent by weight of Mo, from 4.0 percent by weight to 8.0 percent by weight of W, from 3.0 percent by weight to 8.0 percent by weight of Re, 2.0 percent by weight or less of Hf, 10.0 percent by weight or less of Cr, 15.0 percent by weight or less of Co, from 1.0 percent by weight to 4.0 percent by weight of Ru, 0.2 percent by weight or less of C, 0.03 percent by weight or less of B, and Ni and inescapable impurities as a balance. The superalloys can be used for a turbine blade, a turbine vane and the like of a jet engine, an industrial gas turbine and the like.

Abstract: A fiber-bond type ceramic material 4 is produced by using as raw material fibers 1 inorganic fibers of Si—M—C—O synthesized by melt spinning polycarbosilane, then infusibilizing the produced threads, and firing the set threads, forming from the raw material fibers a woven fabric 2 having all the fibers thereof extended perpendicularly or obliquely relative to the direction of compression during the course of a hot-press fabrication at a weaving step 12, heat-treating the woven fabric in the air, thereby preparing a woven fabric of oxidized fibers 3 provided with an oxide layer on the surface thereof at an oxidizing step 14, and subjecting the woven fabric of oxidized fibers to a hot-press fabrication while compressing the fabric in the direction of the compression thereby causing the oxide layers on the surface to adhere fast to each other and form a matrix at a hot-press step 16.
