Abstract
A corrosion-resistant member against a chlorine-based gas, which member is to be exposed to a chlorine-based gas atmosphere at temperatures of not less than 600° C. and includes a sintered body made of aluminum nitride and a film of silicon carbide covering a surface of the sintered body and formed by chemical vapor deposition.
Claims1
A corrosion-resistant member comprising an AlN sintered body and a SiC film formed on a surface of said AlN sintered body by chemical vapor deposition, said SiC film comprising columnar crystals extending substantially perpendicularly to the surface of said SiC film, the average aspect ratio of said crystals ranging from 1.5-20, wherein facets are formed on said surface of said SiC film, the average particle diameter of said facets ranging from 4 μm to 6 μm and an area ratio of said facets having diameters of at least 20 μm to the entire area of said facets ranging from 10% to 80% as viewed from said surface of said SiC film, whereby said member resists corrosion when exposed to a chlorine-based gas atmosphere at temperatures of at least 600° C.
