A thin upper layer on a SiC-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} porous substrate was formed by spray deposition of a Si-C composite or SiC fine powder 55.0 wt% total powder suspension. The formation of a compact layer of Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} whisker or a SiC smaller pore size than the porous substrate was obtained under thermal treatment up to 1,400 C for 3--4 h in a nitrogen or argon gas environment, respectively. SEM microstructure observations and a qualitative (DRX-EDAX) analysis of both sintered porous bodies were performed to confirm the nature of both layers.
