The effects of the crack-healing on contact strength were investigated for Si_3N_4/SiC which was subjected to various machining process. The evaluation of contact strength was done by sphere indentation test that used acoustic emission (AE) together. As a result, the contact strength of Si_3N_4/SiC was improved by crack-healing with a combination of rapping even for the material that had machining cracks induced by a heavily machining process.
