The invention provides a method for preparing a carbon-silicon carbide composite material by using a chemical gas-phase permeation method. The method is characterized in steps that: a carbon fiber weaved body is placed in a deposition chamber, and deposed carbon particles are adopted as a dividing surface, wherein methane is adopted as a reaction gas, argon is adopted as a diluting gas, a deposition pressure in the deposition chamber is 6 to 7kPa, a deposition temperature is 900 to 1000 DEG C, and a deposition time is 3 to 12 hours; then silicon carbide crystal whiskers are deposed, wherein methyl trichloro silane is adopted as a reaction gas, hydrogen is adopted as a carrier gas, methyl trichloro silane is positioned in a evaporation vessel for water bath heating, a water bath temperature is 35 to 40 DEG C, a pressure in the evaporation vessel is controlled at 0.2 to 0.3MPa, a total flow of hydrogen and methyl trichloro silane is controlled at 200 to 300ml/min, methyl trichloro silane is delivered into the deposition chamber by hydrogen through a bubbling method, argon is used as a diluting gas, a deposition pressure in the deposition chamber is 6 to 7kPa, a deposition temperature is 1100 to 1150 DEG C, and a deposition time is 1 to 7 days, such that the carbon-silicon carbide composite material is obtained. The composite material provided by the invention has good toughness and high anti-interlaminar shear strength.
