The invention relates to a main heat exchange component in various high-temperature heat treatment furnace bodies such as a carburizing furnace, a fluorating furnace and the like in the field of steel manufacturing, in particular to a method for manufacturing a radiant tube with long service life and high temperature resistance. The method comprises the following steps of: A, mixing raw materialsin percentage by weight: 45 to 65 percent of silicon carbide, 20 to 30 percent of monocrystalline silicon, 10 to 20 percent of carbon black, 3 to 5 percent of polyving akohol and 0.3 percent of wool grease uniformly, and adding water to prepare paste; B, injecting the paste raw materials into a die for molding by adopting a solid slip casting method; C, demoulding a molded green body for drying; D, putting the dried green body into a vacuum furnace, raising the temperature to 180 DEG C, and performing vacuum reactive sintering to manufacture a main body of the silicon carbide heat exchanger; and E, sleeving the sintered main body of the heat exchanger outside a guiding pipe, and sleeving an outer pipe outside the main body of the heat exchanger. Products prepared by the method have the advantages of high strength and hardness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good thermal shock resistance and superior antioxidation performance.
