To provide a carbon
fiber bundle capable of suppressing winding due to ring-shaped fuzzes, which occurs when the carbon
fiber bundle is rolled out for advanced
processing, and a production method for producing the same. Disclosed is a carbon
fiber bundle wherein an average single-
fiber diameter B is 6.9 to 11.0 um, a tensile modulus E of resin-impregnated strands is 230 to 310 GPa, the number of fuzzes inherent in the carbon
fiber bundle is 40 fuzzes / m or less, and a proportion of fuzzes with a structure having a difference between
skin and core is 1 to 25% of fuzzes inherent in the carbon
fiber bundle. Such a carbon
fiber bundle is preferably obtained by a method including, in a process of heat-treating a
polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fiber bundle with a single-fiber
fineness of 0.9 to 2.2 dtex in an oxidizing
atmosphere at 200 to 300°C, heat-treating the
polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fiber bundle so that a
heat generation rate Q, which is the left side of the formula (3), is 150 to 500 J / m2 / s until the density is 1.22 to 1.24 g / cm3, when q (J / g / s) is the
heat generation rate of the
single fiber, N is the number of filaments, d (dtex) is a single-fiber
fineness of the stabilized fiber bundle and W (mm) is a
yarn width, heat-treating the fiber bundle while applying a tension of 1.6 to 4.0 mN / dtex until the density is 1.38 to 1.50 g / cm3 to obtain a stabilized fiber bundle, and heat-treating the stabilized fiber bundle in an
inert atmosphere at 1,200 to 1,600°C. Q=q×N×d / W / 10
