HIGHLY CORROSION-RESISTANT MEMBER AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR THE SAME

摘要

A highly corrosion-resistant member that is equipped with: a substrate made of stainless steel; an intermediate layer coated on at least a part of a surface of the substrate; and an amorphous carbon film coated on at least a part of a surface of the intermediate layer is completed by forming the intermediate layer and amorphous carbon film at such a low temperature that a temperature of the surface of the substrate is 450° C. or less. Another highly corrosion-resistant member that is equipped with: a substrate made of stainless steel, substrate whose superficial-layer portion is subjected to nitriding treatment; and an amorphous carbon film coated on at least a part of a surface of the superficial-layer portion is completed by carrying out the nitriding treatment and a formation of the amorphous carbon film at such a low temperature that a temperature of a surface of said substrate is 450° C. or less. In the aforementioned highly corrosion-resistant members, the surface of the substrate that is made of stainless steel is not exposed to high temperatures (>450° C.). Consequently, the corrosion resistance of the substrate is kept equivalent to the corrosion resistance of the original stainless steel that has not been exposed to any high temperature.
