METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A DIAMOND-SILICON CARBIDE-SILICON COMPOSITE AND A COMPOSITE PRODUCED BY THIS METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a diamond-silicon carbide-silicon composite from diamond particles, comprising the steps of forming a work piece, heating the work piece and controlling the heating temperature and heating time so that a certain desired amount of graphite is created by graphitization of diamond particles, thereby creating an intermediate body, and infiltrating silicon into the intermediate body. The invention also relates to a diamond-silicon carbide-silicon composite produced by this method.
