Abstract
A carbon/carbon (C/C) composite comprising crystalline silicon carbide which is essentially uniformly distributed on both internal and external surfaces of the composite in a low concentration, as well as a process for producing the composite and the use of the composite in brake materials for industrial roll goods, automotives, trucks, trains and aircrafts. It has been discovered that small amounts of crystalline silicon carbide uniformly distributed throughout the carbon/carbon composite results in reduced wear with either no change or a slight increase in the friction coefficient.
