Abstract

Provided is an Al alloy member with an excellent mechanical strength that is sufficient for use in large-scale manufacturing apparatuses. The Al alloy member is characterized in that, in mass %, Mg concentration is 5.0% or less, Ce concentration is 15% or less, Zr concentration is 0.15% or less, the balance comprises Al and unavoidable impurities, the elements of the unavoidable impurities are respectively 0.01% or less, and the Vickers hardness of the Al alloy member is greater than 30.

Claims (10)

1. An Al alloy member for an electronic device manufacturing apparatus consisting of, in mass %, a Mg concentration of more than 0.01% and 5.0% or less, a Ce concentration of more than 0.5% and 2% or less, a Zr concentration of more than 0.01% and 0.15% or less, Al and unavoidable impurities, wherein elements of the unavoidable impurities are respectively 0.01% or less, a Vickers hardness of the Al alloy member is greater than 30, and wherein at least a portion of a surface of the Al alloy member is coated with an anodic oxide film by a non-aqueous solution, and wherein the anodic oxide film has a decreased weight due to corrosion in a chlorine environment of 0.07% of less.

2. An Al alloy member for an electronic device manufacturing apparatus consisting of, in mass %, a Mg concentration of more than 0.01% and 5.0% or less, a Ce concentration of more than 1% and 2% or less, a Zr concentration of more than 0.01% and 0.15% or less, Al and unavoidable impurities, elements of the unavoidable impurities are respectively 0.01% or less, and wherein at least a portion of a surface of the Al alloy member is coated with an anodic oxide film by a non-aqueous solution, and a Vickers hardness of the Al alloy member is greater than 30, and wherein the anodic oxide film has a decreased weight due to corrosion in a chlorine environment of 0.07% of less.

3. The Al alloy member for an electronic device manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the anodic oxide film by the non-aqueous solution has a thickness of 0.1 μm to 0.6 μm.

4. The Al alloy member for an electronic device manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the anodic oxide film coated by the non-aqueous solution is an amorphous Al 2 O 3 film.

5. An electronic device manufacturing apparatus comprising a container and a substrate mounting stage, wherein at least a surface of the container or a surface of the substrate mounting stage comprises the Al alloy member for an electronic device manufacturing apparatus according to one of claims 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 .

6. The Al alloy member for an electronic device manufacturing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the anodic oxide film coated by the non-aqueous solution has a thickness of 0.1 μm to 0.6 μm.

7. The Al alloy member for an electronic device manufacturing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the anodic oxide film coated by the non-aqueous solution is an amorphous Al 2 O 3 film.

8. An electronic device manufacturing apparatus comprising a container and a substrate mounting stage, wherein at least a surface of the container or a surface of the substrate mounting stage comprises the Al alloy member for an electronic device manufacturing apparatus according to one of claims 2 , 6 and 7 .

9. The Al alloy member for an electronic device manufacturing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the anodic oxide film coated by the non-aqueous solution is an amorphous Al 2 O 3 film.
