Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A compressor housing includes an intake port, a scroll, and a shroud. The shroud includes a shroud surface facing the impeller, a sliding member in an annular shape, and a sliding-member fixing portion in an annular shape. An inner circumferential surface of the sliding member defines the shroud surface. The sliding-member fixing portion includes contact portions that are configured to such that an inner circumferential surface of the sliding-member fixing portion and an outer circumferential surface of the sliding member at least partially come into contact with each other. The sliding member is fastened to the sliding-member fixing portion at the contact portions by the fastening members. The sliding member is fastened by the fastening members configured to extend through the sliding-member fixing portion. The fastening members are fastened from an outer circumferential surface of the sliding-member fixing portion to the sliding member.
