Abstract
Abstract A gas turbine blade improved in terms of resistance to oxidation and corrosion is provided. A coat of an oxide excelling in high-temperature strength and heat resistance is formed onto the surface of a silicon nitride sintered part forming a gas turbine blade body. At least one oxide selected from the group consisting of alumina, mullite, zirconia, yttria and zircon is used as the oxide. The oxide coat is formed on the surface of the silicon nitride-based sintered part in the form of a thin film by plasma spray coating.
