摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an RFeB system sintered magnet which has a high and uniform level of coercivity over the entirety of the single magnet even if the magnet is comparatively thick. The present invention is an RFeB system sintered magnet in which a heavy rare-earth element R H which is at least one kind of rare-earth element selected from the group of Dy, Tb and Ho is diffused into a base material through the grain boundaries of the same base material made of a sintered compact of an RFeB system magnet containing R L , Fe and B, where R L represents a light rare-earth element which is at least one kind of rare-earth element selected from the group of Nd and Pr, wherein: the size of the RFeB system sintered magnet at a smallest-size portion is greater than 3 mm; the amount of heavy rare-earth element R H contained in the RFeB system sintered magnet divided by the volume of the RFeB system sintered magnet is equal to or greater than 25 mg/cm 3 ; and the difference between a local coercivity at the surface of the smallest-size portion and a local coercivity in the central region of the smallest-size portion is equal to or less than 15 % of the local coercivity at the surface.

摘要:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a sintered magnet production system using a press-less method capable of minimizing the distortion of a sintered magnet. It is a system including: a filling device 11 for filling a cavity 211 of a container 21 with alloy powder of a material for a sintered magnet; an orienting section 13 for orienting the alloy powder held in the cavity 211 by applying a magnetic field without applying a mechanical pressure to the alloy powder; and a sintering section 15 for sintering the alloy powder oriented by the orienting section 13, by heating the alloy powder without applying a mechanical pressure to the alloy powder. The orienting section includes: an air-core coil 131; and two ferromagnetic members 132 made of a ferromagnetic material to be arranged within the air-core coil 131 at respective open ends of the air-core coil 131 with a space for containing the container 21 in between. The ferromagnetic members 132 adjust the magnetic field within the air-core coil 131 toward a direction parallel to the axis of the air-core coil 131, whereby the distortion of a sintered magnet is minimized.

摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a NdFeB system sintered magnet which, when used as a base material in a grain boundary diffusion method, allows R H to easily diffuse through a rare-earth rich phase, and whose base material itself has high coercive force. The method includes: a hydrogen pulverization process (Step S1), in which coarse powder of a NdFeB system alloy is prepared by coarsely pulverizing a lump of NdFeB system alloy by making this lump occlude hydrogen; a fine pulverization process (Step S2), in which fine powder is prepared by performing fine pulverization for further pulverizing the coarse powder; a filling process (Step S3), in which the fine powder is put into a filling container; an orienting process (Step S4), in which the fine powder as held in the filling container is oriented; and a sintering process (Step S5), in which the fine powder after the orienting process is sintered as held in the filling container. The processes from hydrogen pulverization through orienting are performed with neither dehydrogenation heating nor evacuation each for desorbing hydrogen occluded in the hydrogen pulverization process. The processes from hydrogen pulverization through sintering are performed in an oxygen-free atmosphere.
