The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a diamond-silicon carbide-siliconncomposite from diamond particles, comprising the steps of forming a work piece, nheating the work piece and controlling the heating temperature and heating time so that a certainndesired amount of graphite is created by graphitization of diamond particles, thereby creating annintermediate body, and ninfiltrating silicon into the intermediate body. n The invention also relates to a diamond-silicon carbide-silicon composite produced by thisnmethod. |
