In the present invention, the concave portion of the sintered body is formed at the stage of forming the powder compact, which is a stage before forming the sintered body. This forming method is performed when pressing metal powder with a press to form a powder compact. FIG. 5 shows this method of formation. In the figure, 14 is a die in a press for forming a powder compact, 15 is an upper punch, and 16 is a lower punch. One of the punches, for example, the lower punch 16, is for forming the recess 12 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the peripheral edge of its upper surface is cut out in an annular shape, with a portion corresponding to the size of the recess 12. It is formed as a protrusion 16a. Then, the inside of the die 14 is filled with metal powder 17 which becomes the material of the sintered body, and the upper punch 15 and the lower punch 16
The metal powder 17 is pressurized to form a powder compact. In this case, the protrusion 16a of the lower punch 16 forms a recess 12 on the lower surface of the powder compact. In this method, the lower punch 16 for forming the concave portion is prepared by preparing a punch such as the upper punch 15 conventionally used for molding powder compacts, and machining the punch as shown in the figure. A protrusion 16a having a size corresponding to the shape of the recess is formed. Therefore, a punch for forming recesses can be obtained easily and economically.

In the present invention, the infiltration treatment for the sintered body is performed by the method shown in FIG. That is, in the figure, 18 is a container made of graphite or the like, and the bottom of this container 18 is a flat surface without any recess for forming an infiltration material layer. Then, the sintered body 11 is placed at the bottom of the container 18.
and the infiltrating material 19 are placed one on top of the other, and the infiltrating material 19 is infiltrated into the inside of the sintered body 11 by placing the container 18 in a furnace and heating it. In this case, the infiltrant 19 infiltrated into the sintered body 11 is formed as the infiltrant layer 12 in the recess 12 of the sintered body 11 . Therefore, in this infiltration treatment, since no recessed portion for forming an infiltration material layer is provided at the bottom of the container 18, there is no need to process the container. Therefore, regardless of the size of the sintered body 11 and the infiltrant layer 12, the container 18 can be used in common. Therefore, there is no need to manufacture many types of containers depending on the size of the sintered body 11 and the infiltrant layer 12 as in the conventional case. Note that after the infiltration treatment, if necessary, the sintered body 11 and the infiltration material layer 1
