Definitions

  • This invention relates to a permanent magnet material of a bulk shape and, in particular, to an iron-rare earth metal-boron (R-Fe-B) permanent magnet material with a high coercive force.
  • R-Fe-B iron-rare earth metal-boron
  • Permanent magnets have been used in various applications such as electromechanical apparatus.
  • a possible approach has been directed to a novel intermetallic compound of transition metal (T) and rare earth metal (R) instead of the Sm-Co intermetallic compound.
  • J. J. Croat proposed amorphous (Nd and/or Pr)-Fe-B alloy having magnetic properties for a permanent magnet as disclosed in JP-A-60009852. Those magnetic properties was considered to be caused by a microstructure where Nd 2 Fe 14 B particles having a perticle size of 20-30 nm were dispersed within an amorphous Fe phase. Reference is further made to R. K. Mishra: J. Magnetism and Magnetic Materials 54-57 (1986) 450.
  • the amorphous alloy can provide only an isotropic magnet because of its crystallographically isotropy. This means that a high performance permanent magnet cannot be obtained from the amorphous alloy.
  • the R-Fe-B sintered magnet has a problem in considerably low corrosion resistance.
  • a magnetic body with a high coercive force for a permanent magnet which consists essentially of a metallic cementing phase and magnetic crystalline particles uniformly dispersed within the metal cementing phase.
  • the cementing phase is 10% or less by volume of the magnetic body and comprises at least one element selected from a first metallic group of Al, Zn, Sn, Cu, Pb, S, In, Ga, Ge, and Te.
  • the magnetic crystalline particles is substantially balance of the volume of the magnetic body and is a composition represented by a chemical formula R 2 T 14 B, where R is at least one element selected from Y and rare earth metals, T being transition metal and comprising Fe 50-100 at% in the transition metal.
  • Each of the magnetic particles is embedded in the cementing phase to form an interface therebetween.
  • the cementing phase is inert to oxygen in comparison with Nd and has, therefore, a good corrosion resistance.
  • the cementing phase may comprise an intermetallic compound of at least one of the first metallic group and at least one selected from a second netallic group of R, T, and B.
  • the present invention further provides a method Eor producing a magnetic body with a high coercive force for a permanent magnet.
  • the method comprises steps of: preparing an ingot of R-T-B magnetic alloy comprising a magnetic intermetallic compound represented by a chemical formula of R 2 T 14 B, where R is at least one element selected from Y and rare earth metals, T being transition metal but comprising Fe 50-100 at% in the transition metal; pulverizing and milling the ingot to thereby prepare a magnetic powder; preparing a metallic cementing powder comprising at least one element selected from a first metallic group of Al, Zn, Sn, Cu, Pb, S, In, Ga, Ge, and Te; mixing the metallic cementing powder of 10% or less by volume and the magnetic powder of substantially balance to prepare a mixed powder; and forming a bulk-shape body of the mixed powder at an elevated temperature.
  • the bulk-shape body forming step comprises steps of; compacting the mixed powder under influence of a grain aligning magnetic field into a compact body of a predetermined shape; and sintering the compact body at a temperature lower than a peritectic reaction temperature of the magnetic powder but higher than a melting temperature of the metallic cementing powder to thereby produce, as the bulk-shape body, a sintered body.
  • the sintered body may be subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature, preferably, 300-900 C for improving the magnetic properties of the sintered body.
  • the bulk-shape body forming step may be hot compaction process for hot compacting the mixed powder into the bulk-shape body at an elevated temperature lower than 1,100 °C but higher than a melting temperature of the metallic cementing powder.
  • the hot compaction process is a hot-pressing process and alternatively a hot-extrusion process.
  • the present invention attempts to provide a permanent magnet material with a high coercive force and a corrosion resistance by making the material to have a microstructure as shown in Fig. 1 where magnetic particles of stoichiometric intermetallic compound of Nd 2 Fe 14 B are dispersed within a metallic cementing phase.
  • the metallic cementing phase is composed of metallic elements and/or an intermetallic compound or compounds, which are inert to oxygen in comparison with Nd.
  • Nd 2 Fe 14 B powder and metallic cementing powder are separately prepared and those powder are mixed.
  • the mixed powder is sintered or hot-formed at an elevated temperature into a bulk-shape body so that the cementing powder forms a cementing phase to cement the magnetic particles together.

Therefore, only the cementing powder melts to form the cementing phase by the sintering process or hot compaction process while the intermetallic compound of the magnetic powder is not melted but dispersed within the cementing phase.
  • Nd is active to oxygen if they do not form any intermetallic compound together or with other metallic element or elements. Therefore, it is desired that the cementing phase includes no Nd.
  • Nd and Fe are included in the cementing powder in the form of an intermetallic compound or compounds with other metallic element or elements.

  • both of the former and the latter can be employed.
  • a comparatively low temperature is used in the hot compaction process, the latter is employed because intermetallic compound of Nd and Fe with the other metallic element is apt to have a melting temperature higher than the temperature for hot compaction.
  • the amount of the cementing powder is limited at maximum 10 % by volume of the mixed powder, because when the cementing powder exceeds 10 vol%, the amount of the magnetic powder is insufficient to obtain a high remanence.
