The method of prode- ing an Al-Se based alloy includes: leading into a reaction vessel metal aluminum (AD), metal fuorde sal, anda sean- «dium compound elevating temperature of reaction system to from 7006 1,050?

Therefore, in recent years, elfectve utilization of an aluminum based allay (AI--Se hase alloy) has boen expected in various industrial feds. Specifically, an ‘sluminum based alloy obtained by axlding Se as an alloy ‘element hardly exhibits a reduetion in mechanical strength ‘even aller maintained a a temperature exceeding 200°C. for ‘ong time period, even when the amount of an added rare ‘earth clement is 0.1 mass % . This is Hikely to be becanse, in the aluminum based alloy obtained by adding Seas an alloy ‘element, mechanical properties changed through plastic, ‘deformation processing hardly undergoes recovery or rerys= talization through heating, For example, Patent Literature 1 Jnoduces that an aluminum alloy material that is useful a 2 ‘material foran aluminum based alloy wire and exhibits good ‘conductivity, high mechanical strength, and excellent heat resistance can be obtained by incorporating 0.05 100.3 mass Sof Se and 0.1 to Oa mass % of Ze into a pure Al max, 0003} "However, such aluminum based alloy containing Se has hitherto bown utilized in extremely limited applications despite the promising utility in industrial fields. The reason Tor this is that meal Seis Hable to be oxidized and reduction {or obtaining metal Se from a scandium compound (Se com- pout) scl asa Se halide or a Se chalcogenide is associated ‘with difficulties. Spocifialy, in onder to obtain Se as # metal there isa need to reduce the Se compound through heating using as reducing agent an alkali metal such as Na, an alkaline earth metal such as Ca. and Mg, or the lke, which are ‘more susceptible to oxidation than Se, of to reduce the Se ‘compound through molten salt electrolysis, 10008) For example, Patent Literature 2 discloses a tech- nology for obtaining metal Se powder, involving loading into ‘a vactum reaction vessel a Se alide together with metal C, metal Zn or the like, reducing the Se halide with metal Cato orm a Se—Za alloy, separating the obtained Se—Zn alloy phase from the halide phase containing. an oxide of Ca, fle Jowed by pulverizton, and further, performing exidation tteatmenton thealloy powder obtained through puverization to form a thin oxide coating on the powder surface, and thereafter, loading the resultant powder ino a wackum vessel ‘containing an inert gas atmosphere, and performing heating ‘under vacuum to vaporize Zn or the like serving as an alloy ‘component. In addition, Patent Literature 3 discloses a tech- nology’ for producing an aluminum based alloy containing & rare earth element by means of electrolytic reduction, The ‘electrolytic reduction is conducted in a moltea salt electro yt bath mainly contsining a uoride of an alkali meta oran alkalineearth metal anda fuoride ofararecarth element sch and lanthanoidby using asa cathode molten metal AL ‘an upper layer and protecting an anode with an insulating material so asto prevent the positive electrode from being brought into contact with the molten metal Alin the upper layer Aug. 20, 2015 {0005} tothe formersediction method thoveh heating, the alkali mal oralkaline earth metal wd asa redicing agents expensive and is handling requires yreatest care owing (0 ‘emarkubly high eatviy- Accordingly thre isaproblem in ‘hattheredveingagent required forredvetioneannot be mass- produced easily at ow cost, In addition inthe ater redetion ‘method by means of molten sat electeoysis its essential to ‘lize an electrolytic redoctionvestl capable of withstand inghigh temperature exoweding the meking empertureof AL (650°C. operation at high empertare i ciiclt for ear contamination with impurities othe like from the vessel or ‘be like, and the elecralytcredvtian neds to be conducted ta temperature eal to offs than the mlting tempore oF Se exceeding 1,500" C.

Accordingly, mass-production at 1ow cost isnot easily realized becouse ofthe great deal of labor aun higher ost (0006) In this conection, witha view to producing an luminum base alloy eontining Se, there have Been pro- posed sever technologies involving allowing Se com- Pound as iso react with metal Alo provide sn alumina Sse alloy containing Se without eondieingastepofredie- dng Se from its compound form to metal form.

While the compound ‘ofa rare earth element serving as a raw material is reduced, ‘with metal Al aeaction temperature inthe reduction necds to be 200°C. or more, anda such temperature, ICI,, HCI, oF the lke having a high vapor pressure vaporizes as @ reaction product.
