COMPOSITE CARBON MATERIAL HAVING METAL CARBIDE PARTICLES DISPERSED THEREIN AND METHOD FOR PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

A composite carbon material, characterized in that metal carbide particles having been formed in-situ by the use of one or more of metal particles, metal oxide particles and composite metal oxide particles as a metal source and a thermosetting resin as a carbon source, and comprising a metal carbide at least in the surface portion thereof or consisting of a metal carbide are dispersed in a carbon matrix, a carbon fiber matrix or a carbon/carbon fiber matrix, and it contains no free metal particles; and a method for preparing the above composite carbon material. The composite carbon material has a high friction coefficient, and also exhibits high heat resistance and wear resistance.
