A compressor having a housing formed by a plurality of housing members that are connected together is disclosed. The compressor is configured in such a manner that refrigerant is compressed in the housing and discharged to the exterior. Each of the housing members contains 9 to 17 percent by mass of Si, 3.5 to 6 percent by mass of Cu, 0.2 to 1.2 percent by mass of Mg, 0.2 to 1.5 percent by mass of Fe, 0 to 1 percent by mass of Mn, 0.5 percent by mass or less of Ni, and a remaining portion containing Al and unavoidable impurities. It is preferred that the average hardness of each housing member is adjusted to HV130 to HV170 through solution heating in which the housing member is maintained at the treatment temperature of 450° C. to 510° C. for 0.5 hours or longer, followed by water quenching, and then by aging treatment in which the housing member is maintained at the treatment temperature of 170° C. to 230° C. for one to twenty-four hours after the c housing member is cast.
