From many Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs), X-ray emissions consisting of non-equilibrium ionization (NEI) plasma and additional hard component are detected. The hard emission have been usually interpreted as a high temperature plasma of = 10 keV. However, the recent observation with ASCA made it clear that the hard components of some SNRs are of non-thermal origin. Here we report the ASCA results of SN 1006 and IC 443 observations as an example of such SNRs.
