Abstract
A process for producing bodies made of fiber-reinforced composites from fiber-reinforced precursor bodies having a porous carbon matrix, in particular from C/C bodies, includes (1) mixing fibers, fiber bundles or fiber agglomerates based on carbon, nitrogen, boron and/or silicon with at least one carbonizable binder to give a pressing composition, and (2) pressing the pressing composition to form a green body. At least one metal- or silicon-containing core is added to the green body. The green body is subsequently pyrolysed to convert the binder or binders into a porous carbon matrix, and the resulting fiber-reinforced precursor body is infiltrated with molten metal or silicon from the metal- or silicon-containing core.
