The present invention relates to a method of sintering ceramics and ceramics obtained by said method. According to the present invention, the synthesis and sintering of ceramics can be simultaneously carried out by utilizing the reaction heat generated when at least one metallic element selected from metallic elements of IIb, IVb, Vb and VIb groups of the Periodic Table is combined with at least one nonmetallic element such as B, C N and Si without heat or by preliminarily heating the ceramics at temperatures remarkably lower than the usual sintering temperature ceramics thus-produced are superior in abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, according to the present invention, particles of the same kind of metal as that used in constructing the ceramics comprising the above described metallic elements and nonmetallic elements are dispersed in a matric comprising said ceramics to obtain metal dispersed reinforced ceramics in which both the matrix and the metallic particles are strongly and chemically bonded to each other. According to the latter procedure, ceramic materials having high temperature characteristics, high corrosion resistance and high abrasion resistance, as well as high toughness and high impact resistance can be obtained.
