There is disclosed a high heat resistant aluminum alloy impeller, which is suitably used as an impeller, especially for a centrifugal compressor, and for the rotor and the blade of a turbo molecular pump or the scroll of a scroll compressor. Also, a method for manufacturing this aluminum alloy impeller is disclosed. The impeller is composed of an Al--Fe rapid solidification aluminum alloy, which is produced by a spray forming process for spraying a molten metal with inert gas and rapidly solidifying the metal at a cooling speed of 10.sup.2 .degree. C./sec. or higher while simultaneously deposing the metal. The rapid solidification aluminum alloy is subjected to hot extrusion processing within a temperature range of 200.degree. C. to 600.degree. C. and further subjected to hot forging.
摘要:
In a crystal pulling method in which a growing single crystal is initially pulled by a seed chuck and subsequently pulled by lifting jig in the middle of the pulling operation, the speed Va of the seed chuck relative to the lifting jig is decreased, while the rising speed Vb of the lifting jig increases, from a first point where switching of the pulling mechanism from the seed chuck to the lifting jig is started. The total speed Vt=Vb+Va is constantly maintained at a desired pulling speed V up to a third point where the shifting of the load from the seed chuck to the lifting jig is started. Subsequently, the total speed Vt is made less than the desired pulling speed V from the third point where the shifting of the load from the seed shuck to the lifting jig is started. This enables accurate growth of a crystal.

In a crystal holding apparatus, a stepped engagement portion of a single crystal formed below a seed crystal is held by holding portions of a pair of lifting jigs so as to be pulled up. A lock mechanism consisting of a hook lever and an engagement pin is provided in order to prevent the closed lifting jigs from opening. Further, a portion of each holding portion to be contacted with a crystal is provided with a swing claw which is swingable about a horizontal pin. Accordingly, it becomes possible to reliably hold the crystal, to prevent generation of a defect in the crystal structure, and to prevent a material melt from being contaminated.
