Abstract

A base member made of a metal in which aluminum is included, ceramics in which an aluminum element is included, or a composition member constructed by a metal in which aluminum and ceramics are included, is provided in a container in which a solid fluorine compound such as NaHF is filled. Then, the container is heated at a temperature higher than a decomposition temperature of the solid fluorine compound. After that, the base member is subjected to a heat treatment with the decomposed gas of the solid fluorine compound to form a fluoride layer on a surface of the base member. In this manner, it is possible to obtain an anti-corrosion member which shows a high corrosion property with respect to the corrosion gas of halogen series and its plasma, particularly with respect to chlorine gas and its plasma.
