A method for producing a ceramic composite includes: preparing a sintered body in a plate form containing a fluorescent material having a composition of a rare earth aluminate, and aluminum oxide; and eluting the aluminum oxide from the sintered body by contacting the sintered body with a basic substance, for example, contained in an alkali aqueous solution, and the dissolution amount of the fluorescent material eluted from the sintered body in the step of eluting the aluminum oxide is 0.5% by mass or less based on an amount of the fluorescent material contained in the sintered body as 100% by mass.

A method for forming a hole in a ceramic matrix composite component includes providing a first tool component with a first hole, providing a fiber preform of the ceramic matrix composite component on the first tool component, positioning a second tool component on the fiber preform, such that the fiber preform is disposed between the first and second tool components, inserting a rod into the first and second holes and through the fiber preform, and performing a densification step of the fiber preform in the first and second tool components. The second tool component has a second hole coaxial with the first hole. The fiber preform is densified with a ceramic matrix.

A method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure, includes: a step of manufacturing a honeycomb formed body to manufacture a non-fired honeycomb formed body having volume of 7 L or more; a drying step of drying the manufactured non-fired honeycomb formed body to obtain a honeycomb dried body; and a firing step of firing the obtained honeycomb dried body to obtain a honeycomb structure. The drying step includes: an induction drying step to obtain a first dried honeycomb formed body by removing 20 to 80% of the entire water that the non-fired honeycomb formed body contained before drying, and a microwave drying step to obtain a honeycomb dried body by removing the residual water. The honeycomb dried body subjected to this microwave drying step is obtained by removing 90% or more of the entire water that the non-fired honeycomb formed body contained before drying.

Described are molds that include a ceramic material at a surface, as well as methods of forming the molds, and methods of using the molds; the ceramic material is constituted substantially, mostly, or entirely of three elemental components designated M, A, and X; the “M” component is at least one transition metal; the “A” component is one or a combination of Si, Al, Ge, Pb, Sn, Ga, P, S, In, As, Tl, and Cd; and the “X” component is carbon, nitrogen, or a combination thereof.

A method may produce a ceramic part with a mother-of-pearl effect, in particular for watchmaking. Such methods may include: forming a ceramic body; depositing a layer of an oxy-nitride component of the OxNy type on at least a portion of the ceramic body; and oxidizing at least a portion of the oxy-nitride layer, preferably by heating.
