Problems solved by technology

[0003] When working, the impeller rotor needs to rotate at high speed, so its material is generally made of high-strength lightweight aluminum alloy. In many practical applications, turbomolecular pumps need to pump corrosive gases, and the impeller blades of aluminum alloy are Corrosive gas is easily damaged by corrosion
[0004] In order to improve the corrosion resistance of the blades, the aluminum alloy blades are usually anodized, as described in patents 89105774.9 and 92101878.9, and the surface of the blades is treated to form a corrosion-resistant layer of aluminum oxide. However, anodic oxidation is generally used to form The aluminum oxide film is porous and not dense enough, and it is easy to outgas when the molecular pump is working, which affects the vacuum degree, and the corrosion resistance of this type of aluminum oxide film is low and the life is short; if the thickness of the aluminum oxide film is thickened, It will affect the mechanical strength of aluminum alloy blades; in addition, the use of anodic oxidation process is easy to cause environmental pollution
