An impeller includes a disk formed in a disk shape about an axis, and a plurality of blades provided at intervals in a circumferential direction on one side in the axial direction of the disk. The blades define a flow path extending from one side in the axial direction toward a radial outer side and include a low-rigidity region and a high-rigidity region. The low-rigidity region has an inlet, an outlet of the extending region of the flow path, a relatively small plate thickness, and has a relatively small inclination angle with respect to the disk. The high-rigidity region adjacent to the low-rigidity region has a relatively large plate thickness, and a relatively large inclination angle with respect to the disk.

Impeller and centrifugal compressor

A rotary machine includes an impeller. The impeller includes a discoid disk that rotates about an axis line, blades disposed circumferentially at intervals on a surface of the disk facing one side in a direction of the axial line and that form a flow path therebetween that extends radially outward from one side in the direction of the axial line, and a cover that covers the blades from a radially outer side. The rotary machine further includes a casing that covers the impeller from the radially outer side and forms a gap between the casing and an outer surface of the cover; a seal portion provided in the gap; and a lid member.
