A method is given for treating a carbon body to produce a carbon article with decreased gas permeability and increased resistance to corrosion and erosion. The method comprises coating the body with a composition containing one or more of the elements Zr, Mo, Ti, Nb, and Si or heatdecomposable compounds thereof in a solvent, and heating the coated body to a diffusion temperature for forming carbides of the elements in situ in the body.
