Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a blower fin for an excimer laser which is excellent in corrosion resistance by composing the surface of the fin of zirconium, a zirconium alloy or one of oxides thereof. CONSTITUTION:The surface of a fin is composed of zirconium, a zirconium alloy or one of oxides thereof. Here, the zirconium alloy is an alloy which contains Sn, Fe, Ni, Cr or Nb, and particularly 'Zircaloy(R)', ozhenite and a Zr-Nb alloy can be referred to. Since the surface of the fin to be brought into contact with a mixed gas of HC+Xe+Ne is composed of zirconium, a zirconium alloy or an oxide thereof in this way, it becomes extremely excellent in corrosion resistance.

This state is called an excimer. What is excimer?Exc
Excimer laser is an abbreviation for ``Ited Dimer.'' Excimer lasers are molecules that exist only in an excited state and utilize photons emitted when molecules dissociate. Therefore, the lower level of the laser does not exist, and the wavelength is in the ultraviolet region, showing high gain.
Is it used in the electronic industry or chemistry as a high-output, high-efficiency ultraviolet laser?
It is expected to have various applications in the agricultural industry, energy industry, life industry, etc. Excimer is classified into noble gas excimer (Xe, Ar, Kr2, etc.), rare gas-oxygen excimer, mercury-halide excimer (flg, etc.), and mercury-halide excimer (flg

Used to increase to 0 meals/S. Conventionally, as a material for blower fins, an AQ foil base plated with Ni as a corrosion-resistant layer has been mainly used. However, Ni plating does not have sufficient corrosion resistance against HCQ, and especially when the blower is exposed to the atmosphere during adjustment, the hydrochloric acid generated by the reaction between HCl and water in the air severely corrodes the Ni plating. was there.
