Zusammenfassung:A method of producing the title composites comprises providing graphite on carbon fibres for example in the form of braids or tows and contacting them with molten silicon at temperatures in the range of about 1400 to 1800.degree.C in an inert atmosphere. The silicon carbide is formed in situ in a time generally within the period 1 - 15 minutes.
