Zusammenfassung:A method for manufacture of Group IV metal carbide ceramic composites is provided wherein a permeable mass (14) of filler and a carbon source is contacted with a molten Group IVA metal (12). The molten metal (12) is maintained in contact with the permeable mass (14) for a sufficient period to infiltrate the permeable mass and to react the molten metal with carbon source to form a Group IVA metal carbide, composite. The filler may be a Group IVA metal carbide, or other inert filler, or a combination.
