Carbon fiber precursor fiber bundle, production method and production device therefor, and carbon fiber and production method therefor

摘要

There are provided a carbon fiber precursor fiber bundle which permits easy bundling of a plurality of small tows into one bundle, is provided with a dividing capability to divide into the original small tows spontaneously at the time of firing, and is suitable for obtaining a carbon fiber that is excellent in productivity and quality, and a production method and a production apparatus of the carbon fiber precursor fiber bundle, and an excellent carbon fiber and a production method thereof. A production apparatus of a carbon fiber precursor fiber bundle, comprising an intermingling device that comprises a yarn channel having a flat rectangular section through which a plurality of small tows can pass in a manner adjacent to each other and a plurality of air jet holes disposed with predetermined intervals along the long side direction of the flat rectangle and having the openings thereof in the yarn channel.
