Abstract
Three dimensional woven fabrics containing bent parts of a small radius of curvature which bent parts comprise easily graphitized pitch-derived carbon fibers obtained by thermosetting treatment and light carbonization treatment carried out after melt-spinning of high softening point pitch and having a tensile strength of 15 250 Kgf/mm.sup.2, an elongation of 0.5-8.0% and modulus of elasticity of 400-40,000 Kgf/mm.sup.2 and a capability of increasing both of their tensile strength and modulus of elasticity to 1.1 times or greater than the above-mentioned values by additional heat treatment carried out under a relaxed state to have a tensile strength of 150 Kgf/mm.sup.2 or greater and a modulus of elasticity of 40,000 Kgf/mm.sup.2 or greater. They are superior in abrasion resistance, flexion-resisting property and scratch-resisting property and useful as one component of fiber composite materials in reinforcing plastics, metals, cements, ceramics, carbon materials, etc.
