The article discusses a new approach to the synthesis of metallic composite
materials based on nanostructuring of a metal frame (on the example of iron) by SiC
nanostructures (10-50 nm). Optimal conditions are established for the nano-SiC coating on
the porous Fe surface during sequential chemisorption of Cl2Si(CH3)2 and CH4 molecules
from the gas phase. The resulting composite possesses enhanced strength in comparison with
the best steel samples although the residual porosity (up to 5%) of Fe matrix is still preserved
after pressing.
