摘要:
The objectives of the present invention are to provide a stable and simple method for producing a rare earth metal-based permanent magnet having on the surface thereof a corrosion-resistant film containing fine zinc particles dispersed therein, a corrosion-resistant rare earth metal-based permanent magnet produced by the method, a dip spin coating method being suitable for forming a coating film on thin type work pieces having various shapes, and a method for forming a coating film on a work piece. A method for producing a corrosion-resistant rare earth metal-based permanent magnet of the present invention, characterized in that it comprises providing an aqueous treating fluid, which contains a hydrolysis polymerization product of alkyl silicate and fine zinc particles having an average particle diameter of 1 µm to 50 µm and has a pH value of 6 to 8 and a viscosity of 1000 cP or less, applying the fluid on the surface of a rare earth metal-based permanent magnet, and subjecting the resultant magnet to a heat treatment at 250°C to 400°C, to thereby form a corrosion-resistant film containing fine zinc particles dispersed therein.
摘要:
A method for making a granulated powder according to the present invention includes the steps of: preparing a rare-earth alloy powder with remanent magnetization; feeding the powder onto a track 22, which is defined by a side surface 22a and a lower surface 22b that is sloped so as to decrease its height toward the side surface; and setting up vibrations on the track to give the powder kinetic energy, thereby transporting the powder along the length of the track and granulating the powder under a substantially zero magnetic field by utilizing an agglomeration force produced by the remanent magnetization of the powder and a tumbling action produced by the kinetic energy. As a result, a rare-earth alloy granulated powder, which has good flowability and good compactibility and which makes it possible to produce a magnet with excellent magnetic properties, can be obtained.
