GLASS-LIKE CARBON DEFORMED MOLDED ARTICLE, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND JOINT STRUCTURE FOR JOINTING A CONNECTING MEMBER TO A GLASS-LIKE CARBON HOLLOW MOLDED ARTICLE

摘要

Provided is a process for producing a glass-like carbon deformed molded article having a deformed section (typically, an elliptical section or a section composed of partial circles and linear portions), such as a glass-like carbon member in a deformed pipe form or a bent pipe, with relative ease and a good dimensional accuracy. The process comprises the step of molding a thermosetting resin to yield a thermosetting resin molded article, the step of deforming the thermosetting resin molded article plastically in the state that the article is heated, so as to yield a thermosetting resin deformed article, and the step of carbonizing the resultant thermosetting resin deformed article.
