Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0374925A2] A graphite fiber derived from an acrylic fiber having a fiber density of not less than 1.93 g/cm<3>, a strand tensile strength of not less than 350 kgf/mm<2>, and a strand tensile modulus of not less than 53x10<3> kgf/mm<2>, and a method for producing the grpahite fiber by carbonizing a preoxidized fiber derived from an acrylic fiber and having a fiber density of from 1.32 to 1.40 g/cm<3> to obtain a carbon fiber having a nitrogen content of not less than 1.0% by weight based on the carbon fiber weight, a fiber density of not less than 1.79 g/cm<3> and an orientation of not less than 79% at a maximum diffraction at 2 theta =25.3+/-0.5 DEG in X-ray diffraction angle of the (002) plane of the graphite crystal, and graphitizing the thus-obtained carbon fiber in an inert gas at a temperature of not lower than 2,400 DEG C and under a tension to stretch the fiber at least 3% during the graphitization.
