The present invention relates to a carbonaceous composite material that can fully produce the characteristic effect of the graphite fluoride containing carbonaceous composite material with a minimum additive ratio of graphite fluoride and simultaneously can produce the secondary corrosion inhibiting properties and to a sliding member using the same. The carbonaceous composite material of the present invention features in that it contains graphite fluoride; and alkaline agent for neutralization of hydrogen fluoride or adsorbent for fixation of hydrogen fluoride, the remainder being carbonaceous components. The sliding member of the invention is the one made by using the carbonaceous composite material of the invention. Specifically, the carbonaceous composite material of the invention is applicable to an electric sliding brush, a mechanical sealing member, a bearing member and the like.
