A conical coupling of a male member ( 10 ) and a female member ( 11 ), the male member ( 10 ) comprising a cone ( 12 ) ensleeved in a truncated conical portion ( 15 ) of a corresponding recess ( 14 ) formed in the female member ( 11 ), is characterized in that the female member ( 11 ) is made of a material having a Young's modulus at most equal to about 35 GPa and at most equal to that of the material from which the male member ( 10 ) is made, and in that a surface ( 13 ) of the male member perpendicular to the axis (A 1 ) of the coupling is in contact with a surface ( 17 ) of the female member also perpendicular to the coupling axis such that the male and female members ( 10, 11 ) are in axial abutment against each other. The female member ( 11 ) is for example of pyrocarbon and the male member ( 10 ) of metal, ceramic or pyrocarbon.
