Each of an outer ring, an inner ring, and a ball is a rolling contact member formed of a β-sialon sintered body inexpensive, capable of reliably ensuring sufficient durability, and capable of being used in an application where an imposed load is changed abruptly. The sintered body contains as a main component β-sialon represented by a compositional formula of Si6-ZAlZOZN8-Z and satisfying 0.1≦z≦3.5, and has a remainder formed of an impurity. The rolling contact member has a Young's modulus of 180 GPa or greater but 270 GPa or smaller.

1. A rolling contact member in a rolling bearing, the rolling contact member being one of a race member and a rolling element disposed in contact with said race member on an annular raceway, the rolling contact member being formed of a sintered body that contains as a main component β-sialon represented by a compositional formula of Si6-ZAlZOZN8-Z and satisfying 0.1≦z≦3.5 and that has a remainder formed of an impurity,the rolling contact member having a Young's modulus of 180 GPa or greater but 270 GPa or smaller,wherein the rolling contact member has a rolling contact surface serving as a surface contacting another rolling contact member, said rolling contact surface being included in a portion having a high density layer higher in density than an inner portion, andsaid high density layer has a surface included in a portion having a higher density layer higher in density than another portion of said high density layer. 2. The rolling contact member according to claim 1, wherein when said high density layer is observed in cross section with an optical microscope with oblique illumination, said layer exhibits a portion observed as a portion white in color having an area ratio equal to or smaller than 7%. 3. The rolling contact member according to claim 1, wherein when said higher density layer is observed in cross section with an optical microscope with oblique illumination, said layer exhibits a portion observed as a portion white in color having an area ratio equal to or smaller than 3.5%. 4. The rolling contact member according to claim 1, wherein said rolling bearing is a rolling bearing, used for a wind turbine generator, for rotatably supporting one of a main shaft of a windmill for the wind turbine generator and a rotation member, which is rotated according to rotation of said main shaft, relative to a member disposed opposite to one of said main shaft and said rotation member. 5. A rolling bearing comprising: a race member; anda plurality of rolling elements disposed in contact with said race member on an annular raceway,at least one of said race member and said rolling element being the rolling contact member of claim 1. 6. A rolling contact member in a rolling bearing, the rolling contact member being one of a race member and a rolling element disposed in contact with said race member on an annular raceway, the rolling contact member being formed of a sintered body that contains as a main component β-sialon represented by a compositional formula of Si6-ZAlZOZN8-Z and satisfying 0.1≦z≦3.5 and that has a remainder formed of a sintering additive and an impurity,the rolling contact member having a Young's modulus of 180 GPa or greater but 270 GPa or smaller,wherein the rolling contact member has a rolling contact surface serving as a surface contacting another rolling contact member, said rolling contact surface being included in a portion having a high density layer higher in density than an inner portion, andsaid high density layer has a surface included in a portion having a higher density layer higher in density than another portion of said high density layer. 7. The rolling contact member according to claim 6, wherein when said high density layer is observed in cross section with an optical microscope with oblique illumination, said layer exhibits a portion observed as a portion white in color having an area ratio equal to or smaller than 7%. 8. The rolling contact member according to claim 6, wherein when said higher density layer is observed in cross section with an optical microscope with oblique illumination, said layer exhibits a portion observed as a portion white in color having an area ratio equal to or smaller than 3.5%. 9. The rolling contact member according to claim 6, wherein said rolling bearing is a rolling bearing, used for a wind turbine generator, for rotatably supporting one of a main shaft of a windmill for the wind turbine generator and a rotation member, which is rotated according to rotation of said main shaft, relative to a member disposed opposite to one of said main shaft and said rotation member. 10. A rolling bearing comprising: a race member; anda plurality of rolling elements disposed in contact with said race member on an annular raceway,at least one of said race member and said rolling element being the rolling contact member of claim 6.
