Abstract
Abstract Cobalt or cobalt alloy composite materials reinforced with continuous silicon carbide fibers, which have a high tensile strength, a low elongation, a high Young modulus and a high tensile strength at a high temperature, are produced by filling spaces in piles of the continuous silicon carbide fibers containing 0.01%-30% by weight of free carbon with melted or powdery metallic cobalt or cobalt alloy and integrating the said fibers with the said metal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
Cobalt or cobalt alloy composite materials reinforced with continuous silicon carbide fibers having excellent tensile strength and Young modulus, in which the wettability of metallic cobalt or cobalt alloy and the silicon carbide fibers is improved by combining 20-98% by volume the cobalt metal matrix and 80-2% by volume of silicon carbide fibers containing 0.01%-30% by weight of free carbon obtained by baking spun fibers consisting mainly of an organosilicon high molecular weight compound.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
74 words
Cobalt or cobalt alloy composite materials reinforced with continuous silicon carbide fibers having excellent tensile strength and Young modulus, in which the wettability of metallic cobalt or cobalt alloy and the silicon carbide fibers is improved by combining 20-98% by volume the cobalt metal matrix and 80-2% by volume of silicon carbide fibers containing 0.01%-30% by weight of free carbon obtained by baking spun fibers consisting mainly of an organosilicon high molecular weight compound.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
96 words
Cobalt alloy composite materials reinforced with continuous silicon carbide fibers having excellent tensile strength and Young modulus, in which the wettability of cobalt alloy and the silicon carbide fibers is improved by combining the cobalt alloy containing at least one of chromium, nickel, molybdenum, manganese, silicon, niobium, titanium, aluminum, iron, tungsten, vanadium, tantalum, zirconium, hafnium, calcium, boron, rhenium and uranium, which readily react with free carbon to form the carbides with the silicon carbide fibers containing 0.01%-30% by weight of free carbon obtained by baking spun fibers consisting mainly of an organosilicon high molecular weight compound.
Claim 4
