To facilitate surface finishing working and to improve workability by providing a metallic layer constituted by sintering metallic powder after this metallic powder is press-fixed to an outer peripheral surface of columnar or cylindrical ceramics at the time of manufacturing a ceramic pin as a piston pin.

In manufacturing a ceramic pin, ceramic 1 is molded into a columnar or cylindrical shape a smaller diameter than a diameter dimension required as a piston pin at first. By filling metallic powder into a gap between ceramic 1 and a die 2 and lowering an inner punch 3 and an outer punch 4 after ceramic 1 is positioned and mounted on the die 2, metallic powder is press-fixed to an outer peripheral surface of ceramic 1 and a layer 5 is formed. Next, ceramic 1 is impregnated into water pressurized to about 200 MPa, for instance, and uniform compressive stress is imparted to the whole of the layer 5. Subsequently, the layer 5 is heated and sintered in a heating furnace, an alloy film 5' is formed and finishing working is performed for the surface by a grinding means 6.
