The paper presents manufacture of C/C-SiC composite materials by wet filament winding of C-fibres with a water based phenolic resin with subsequent curing via autoclave as well as pyrolysis and liquid silicon infiltration (LSI). Almost dense C/C-SiC composite materials with different winding angles ranging from ±15° to ±75° could be obtained with porosities lower than 3% and densities in the range of 2 g/cm³. Thermomechanical characterization via tensile testing at room temperature and at 1300 °C revealed higher tensile strength at elevated temperature than at room temperature. Thus, C/C-SiC material obtained by wet filament winding and LSIprocessing has excellent high temperature strength for high temperature applications.Crack patterns during pyrolysis, microstructure after siliconisation and tensile strength strongly depend on the fibre/matrix interface strength and winding angle. Moreover, calculation tools for composites, such as classical laminate and inverse laminate theory can be applied for structural evaluation and prediction of mechanical performance of C/C-SiC structures.
