  • Patent number: 11746439
    Abstract: A pressure container for crystal production having excellent corrosion-resistance is provided. This pressure container produces crystals within the container using a seed crystal, a mineralizer, a raw material, and ammonia in a supercritical state or a subcritical state as a solvent. The pressure container has Ag present over the entire surface of at least the inner surface thereof in contact with the solvent. The Ag can be disposed by one or a combination of two or more among, for instance, Ag lining, Ag welding, and Ag plating. The mineralizer is preferably a fluorine mineralizer containing no halogen atoms other than fluorine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 5, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 5, 2023
    Assignees: JAPAN STEEL WORKS M&E, INC., TOHOKU UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Kouhei Kurimoto, Quanxi Bao, Mutsuo Ueda, Yuji Sasagawa, Masaya Morimoto, Toru Ishiguro, Shigefusa Chichibu

  • Patent number: 9926642
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to manufacture single crystals of high quality on an industrial production scale by preventing impurities from being mixed in single crystals when the single crystals are produced by the solvothermal method. A pressure vessel body 1, in which a supercritical state is maintained, is made of heat resistant alloy, a portion of the pressure vessel body is open, a corrosion-resistant mechanical lining 5 is provided on an inner face of the pressure vessel and on an entire outer circumferential edge of the opening, and the opening is sealed by an airtight mating face formed out of a corrosion-resistant mechanical lining, which is formed on the outer circumferential edge of the opening, and by an airtight mating face of the corrosion-resistant mechanical lining cover 6 on an inner face of the cover 3 through a corrosion-resistant gasket member.
