Cool at a cooling rate of 80 ° C./min. Here, if the holding temperature immediately after solidification of the molten alloy exceeds 1500 ° C., the crystal grains become coarse, and if it is less than 1000 ° C., sufficient relaxation of solidification stress cannot be achieved. Immediately after the solidification of the molten metal,
If the holding time at 1500 ° C. is less than 10 minutes, sufficient solidification stress cannot be removed and solidification cracking cannot be prevented. If the holding time is too long, it is not preferable in terms of production efficiency, so that the holding time is desirably 30 to 60 minutes.
