Abstract:
Provided are a method for producing powder for a magnet, and methods for producing a powder compact, a rare-earth-iron-based alloy material, and a rare-earth-iron-nitrogen-based alloy material. Magnetic particles constituting the powder each have a texture in which grains of a phase of a hydride of a rare-earth element are dispersed in a phase of an iron-containing material. The uniform presence of the phase of the iron-containing material in each magnetic particle results in powder having excellent formability, thereby providing a powder compact having high relative density. The powder is produced by heat-treating rare-earth-iron-based alloy powder in a hydrogen atmosphere to separate the rare-earth element and the iron-containing material and then forming a hydride of the rare-earth element. The powder is compacted. The powder compact is heat-treated in vacuum to form a rare-earth-iron-based alloy material. The rare-earth-iron-based alloy material is heat-treated in a nitrogen atmosphere to form a rare-earth-iron-nitrogen-based alloy material.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a ceramic and a cermet each having a second phase for improving toughness via phase separation from a complete solid-solution phase and to a method of preparing them. The ceramic and the cermet may have the second phase phase-separated from the complete solid-solution phase, thereby easily achieving a great improvement in toughness and exhibiting other good properties including high strength, consequently enabling the manufacture of high-strength and high-toughness cutting tools, instead of conventional WC—Co hard materials.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a rare earth-iron-nitrogen-based alloy material which can produce a rare earth magnet having excellent magnetic characteristics and a method for producing the same, a rare earth-iron-based alloy material suitable as a raw material of the rare earth magnet and a method for producing the alloy material. A rare earth-iron-based alloy material is heat-treated in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere to produce a multi-phase powder 1 in which a phase 3 of a hydrogen compound of a rare earth element is dispersedly present in a phase 2 of an iron-containing material. A powder compact 4 produced by compression-molding the multi-phase powder 1 is heat-treated in a vacuum with a magnetic field of 3 T or more applied, thereby forming a rare earth-iron-based alloy material 5. The rare earth-iron-based alloy material 5 is heat-treated in a nitrogen atmosphere with a magnetic field of 3.5 T or more applied, thereby forming a rare earth-iron-nitrogen-based alloy material 6. The rare earth-iron-based alloy material 5 has a structure in which a crystal of a rare earth-iron-based alloy is oriented in the c-axis direction. The rare earth-iron-nitrogen-based alloy material 6 composed of an ideal nitride can be formed by nitriding the rare earth-iron-based alloy material 5 having this oriented structure with the magnetic field applied, and a rare earth magnet 7 having excellent magnetic characteristics can be formed.
