摘要

A crucible holding member and a method for producing the crucible holding member are provided. The crucible holding member includes: a crucible supporting portion comprising a plurality of divided graphite pieces longitudinally divided in parallel to an axis line and radially arranged; and an external fitting member made of a C/C composite, which is circularly formed and fitted on a body portion of the crucible supporting portion to bind the crucible supporting portion in a circumferential direction. The method includes cutting out each of the divided pieces from a single isotropic graphite block in the same cutting direction.
