Abstract
There is disclosed an acrylonitrile fiber bundle for a carbon fiber precursor with a total denier of 30,000 or more consisting of an acrylonitrile polymer comprising 95 wt % or more of an acrylonitrile unit, wherein the surface of filaments composing of the fiber bundle has 2 to 15 corrugation with a height of 0.5 to 1.0 &mgr;m which are substantially continuous in a longitudinal direction and an iodine adsorption per a fiber weight of the fiber bundle is 0.5 to 1.5 wt %. The fiber bundle shows a large total size, a small drying load owing to its good denseness and a good convergence so that it is suitably used as precursors for carbon fibers.
