Abstract:
A method of making a rare-earth alloy granulated powder according to the present invention includes the steps of: preparing a rare-earth alloy powder; generating remnant magnetization in the powder; and granulating the powder by utilizing agglomeration force produced by the remnant magnetization of the powder. Since the agglomeration force produced by the remnant magnetization is utilized, the addition of a granulating agent may be omitted.

The R-T-B exchange spring magnet alloy ingot contains crystal grains of a hard magnetic phase having a grain size of 1 μm or less and crystal grains of a soft magnetic phase having a grain size of 1 μm or less in a volume of at least 50% on the basis of the entire volume of the alloy.
Abstract:
A film is formed at a high rate on the surface of an iron-boron-rare-earth-metal magnet having a given shape, while effectively using dysprosium or terbium as a film-forming material. Thus, productivity is improved and a permanent magnet can be produced at low cost. A permanent magnet is produced through a film formation step in which a film of dysprosium is formed on the surface of an iron-boron-rare-earth-metal magnet of a given shape and a diffusion step in which the magnet coated is subjected to a heat treatment at a given temperature to cause the dysprosium deposited on the surface to diffuse into the grain boundary phase of the magnet. The film formation step comprises: a first step in which a treating chamber where this film formation is performed is heated to vaporize dysprosium which has been disposed in this treating chamber and thereby form a dysprosium vapor atmosphere having a given vapor pressure in the treating chamber; and a second step in which a magnet kept at a temperature lower than the internal temperature of the treating chamber is introduced into this treating chamber and the dysprosium is selectively deposited on the magnet surface based on a temperature difference between the treating chamber and the magnet until the magnet temperature reaches a given value.

Abstract:
A magnetic material manufacturing method, a ribbon-shaped magnetic material manufactured by the method, a powdered magnetic material formed from the ribbon-shaped magnetic material and a bonded magnet manufactured using the powdered magnet material are disclosed. The method and the magnetic materials can provide magnets having excellent magnetic properties and reliability. A melt spinning apparatus 1 is provided with a tube 2 having a nozzle 3 at the bottom thereof, a coil 4 for heating the tube and a cooling roll 5 having a circumferential surface 53 on which dimple correcting means is provided. A melt spun ribbon 8 is formed by injecting the molten alloy 6 from the nozzle 3 so as to be collided with the circumferential surface 53 of the cooling roll 5 in an inert gas atmosphere (ambient gas) such as helium gas, so that the molten alloy 6 is cooled and then solidified. In this process, dimples to be produced on a roll contact surface of the melt spun ribbon are divided by the dimple correcting means, thereby preventing formation of huge dimples.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to highly quenchable Fe-based rare earth magnetic materials that are made by rapid solidification process and exhibit good magnetic properties and thermal stability. More specifically, the invention relates to isotropic Nd—Fe—B type magnetic materials made from a rapid solidification process with a lower optimal wheel speed and a broader optimal wheel speed window than those used in producing conventional magnetic materials. The materials exhibit remanence (Br) and intrinsic coercivity (Hci) values of between 7.0 to 8.5 kG and 6.5 to 9.9 kOe, respectively, at room temperature. The invention also relates to process of making the materials and to bonded magnets made from the magnetic materials, which are suitable for direct replacement of anisotropic sintered ferrites in many applications.
