1 TITLE : PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SILICON CARBIDE PLATELETS AND THE PLATELETS SO-PRODUCED ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process for producing silicon carbide platelets and the platelets so produced. The process comprises reacting particles of a non-graphitizable form of hard carbon containing 0.5-1.5% by weight of aluminum and at least 0.2% by weight of iron (preferably anthracite coal, most preferably Pennsylvania anthracite), with silica or a silica precursor at a temperature in the range of 1900 - 2100°C under an inert atmosphere. If the carbon contains 0.2 - 1.0% by weight of iron, 0.1 - 10% by weight of boron, relative to the weight of sio2, is added (if not already present). The carbon is in the form of particles of less than 50µ and the silica or precursor is preferably in the form of particles of less than about 1 µ. The weight ratio of silica to carbon is greater than 1.67:1. The resulting platelets are substantially unagglomerated and preferably of a size of less than 50µ with an aspect ratio greater than 5. The platelets can be used as reinforcements for ceramic and metal matrix materials.
