A method of producing, from a continuous or discontinuous (e.g., chopped) carbon fiber, partially to fully converted metal carbide fibers. The method comprises reacting a carbon fiber material with at least one of a metal or metal oxide source material at a temperature greater than a melting temperature of the metal or metal oxide source material (e.g., where practical, at a temperature greater than the vaporization temperature of the metal or metal oxide source material). Additional methods, various forms of carbon fiber, metal carbide fibers, and articles including the metal carbide fibers are also disclosed. 1. An article comprising:metal carbide fibers dispersed in a matrix, the metal carbide fibers comprising metal carbide in fiber form, the metal carbide comprising at least one of aluminum carbide, beryllium carbide, calcium carbide, cerium carbide, chromium carbide, dysprosium carbide, erbium carbide, europium carbide, gadolinium carbide, hafnium carbide, holmium carbide, iron carbide, lanthanum carbide, lithium carbide, magnesium carbide, manganese carbide, molybdenum carbide, niobium carbide, neodymium carbide, praseodymium carbide, samarium carbide, scandium carbide, tantalum carbide, terbium carbide, thulium carbide, thorium carbide, titanium carbide, tungsten carbide, uranium carbide, vanadium carbide, ytterbium carbide, yttrium carbide, or zirconium carbide.2. The article of claim 1 , wherein the matrix comprises at least one of a ceramic material claim 1 , a refractory carbide material claim 1 , a metal material claim 1 , a polymer material claim 1 , or combinations thereof.3. The article of claim 1 , wherein the article is one of claim 1 , or a portion of an article selected from the group comprising a magnet claim 1 , laser claim 1 , maser claim 1 , recording device claim 1 , electrical motor claim 1 , chemical reducing agent claim 1 , ceramic capacitor claim 1 , battery electrode claim 1 , hydrogen storage device claim 1 , mercury vapor lamp claim 1 ...
