Zusammenfassung:An alumina composite body comprising a plurality of elongated alumina elements oriented in random directions and interconnected so as to constitute a porous matrix, and aluminum and silicon tightly filling the porous matrix; and a method of manufacturing an alumina composite body comprising reacting a body of silica, or a body of a silicon compound such as silicon carbide or silicon nitride which has been at least partially oxidized to produce silica, with aluminum so as to change the silica into alumina.
