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.
A glass-like carbon deformed pipe, comprising glass-like carbon and having no joint portion in the direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the pipe.
A glass-like carbon bent pipe, which has a bent portion without having any joint.
A joint structure for jointing a connecting member to an opening end of a glass-like carbon hollow deformed pipe, which comprises the connecting member, the member being a member wherein a flange portion is formed to be integrated with an outer periphery of a sleeve portion which can be inserted into the glass-like carbon hollow deformed pipe, a sealing material arranged on an outer periphery of the opening end of the glass-like carbon deformed pipe, and a holding member for sandwiching this sealing material between the holding member itself and the flange portion of the connecting member to hold the sealing material, wherein the holding member is fastened and fitted onto the flange portion through a fastening means so as to compress the sealing material held between the holding member and the flange portion, thereby jointing the connecting member to the opening end of the glass-like carbon deformed pipe.
