Abstract: A composition for the preparation of a carbonaceous base to be used in the manufacture of siliconized antifriction materials comprising the following components, per cent by weight:______________________________________ carbonaceous filler 65 to 85 phenolformaldehyde resin 12 to 30 sital 3 to 5.Said sital consists of the following ingredients, per cent by weight: Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 --10-12, CaO--12-14, MgO--9-11, Na.sub.2 O--5-6, SiO.sub.2 --the balance.

Abstract: In accordance with the proposed method of making antifriction products, a porous carbon blank is heated up to 1,800.degree. to 2,200.degree. C. and impregnated with molten silicon. The impregnation starts at a temperature of 2,100.degree. to 2,200.degree. C. for 3 to 5 minutes, then at 1,800.degree. to 2,050.degree. C. for 30 to 40 minutes. Thereafter, the blank is cooled down to a temperature of 900.degree. to 800.degree. C. at a rate of 30.degree. to 40.degree. C./min, then down to 200.degree. to 150.degree. C. at a rate of 50.degree. to 100.degree. C./min. This permits obtaining products with an even phase distribution, whereby their wear resistance and strength are improved.
