Abstract

A method for producing mesophase pitch based carbon fibers which enables to produce high strength high modulus carbon fibers at a relatively low temperature with stabilized production manner. This method comprises carbonizing infusibilized fibers, in an inert atmosphere under no tension state or a tension of 1 mg/denier or less in the first stage to give a specified interlayer spacing and a crystallite thickness and then carbonizing under a tension of 50-300 mg/denier at a temperature of 2600.degree. C. or more in the second stage.
