Estimating the term…
The friction stir welding tool member according to the present invention is made of a silicon nitride sintered body, wherein the silicon nitride sintered body contains 15% by mass or less of additive components except silicon nitride in such a manner that the additive components include at least one element selected from lanthanoid elements and at least one element selected from Mg, Ti, Hf, and Mo. In addition, it is preferable that the additive components further include at least one element selected from Al, Si, and C. According to the above-described configuration, a friction stir welding tool member having an excellent durability can be provided.
