An isotropic bonded magnet manufactured without a magnetic field and having high productivity and low manufacturing cost has low residual magnetic flux density Br and magnetic energy product (BH) max. I have. Higher properties are also required for anisotropic bonded magnets obtained by molding in a magnetic field. In particular, the anisotropic bonded magnets are manufactured by applying an orientation magnetic field in parallel to the compression direction. Forming by applying an orientation magnetic field is referred to as molding in a parallel magnetic field.) An anisotropic bonded magnet, for example, a magnet having the shape of a cylinder or a cylinder, and whose axial direction is the orientation direction, is R-Fe-C.
There is much room for improving the degree of alignment (orientation) of the oB-based magnet powder in the direction of the external magnetic field to improve the residual magnetic flux density Br and the magnetic energy product (BH) max of the magnet. Because, in the molding in the parallel magnetic field, even if the grain chains of the oriented powder particles are formed by applying the external magnetic field,
This is because the pressing causes the chain of the powder particles to buckle and the orientation to be disturbed. As a method for improving the degree of alignment of the magnet powder in the molding in a parallel magnetic field, R-Fe-Co-B

However, the magnet powder produced by the above method has no effect of improving the Br and (BH) max of the bonded magnet formed in the absence of a magnetic field. The effect of preventing the disorder of the orientation of the powder particles is still small. Further, in order to produce the magnet powder by the above method, the R-Fe-Co-B-based cast alloy must be plastically worked in a temperature range in which the R-rich phase present as the second phase in the base material melts. Not (this R-F
The e-Co-B-based cast alloy does not soften below the temperature range where the R-rich phase melts, and has a high workability that causes c-axis orientation in the R 2 (Fe, Co) 14 B type intermetallic compound phase. If the R-Fe-Co-B cast alloy is subjected to hot plastic working in such a temperature range, the R 2 (Fe, Co) 14 B type intermetallic compound phase cannot be formed. Since a metal structure in which the R-rich phase is non-uniformly distributed is formed at the grain boundaries, and the magnet powder having such a metal structure deteriorates the squareness of the demagnetization curve, and as a result, sufficient magnetic characteristics cannot be obtained. Not preferred.

The cooling roll 4 is dropped on the surface of the rotating cooling roll 4 and rapidly cooled to form a film-like casting 5 having a thickness in the range of 60 to 150 μm on the surface of the cooling roll 4. At this time, if the thickness of the film-like casting 5 is less than 60 μm, an amorphous structure or an ultrafine isotropic crystal structure is obtained, but if the thickness of the film-like casting 5 becomes 60 μm or more, the thickness increases.

From the results shown in Tables 1 and 5,
(A) Comparing the magnet powders 1 and 2 of the present invention and the conventional magnet powders, it can be seen that although the magnet powders were both manufactured from the molten alloy A having the same component composition, the bond magnets manufactured by the magnet powders 1 and 2 of the present invention were The magnetic properties are significantly better in both parallel magnetic field molding and non-magnetic field molding than the bonded magnets made with conventional magnet powder. (B) However, the shortest diameter y of the powder particles is out of the range of the present invention. Magnet powder 1
The magnetic properties of the bonded magnet prepared in 2 are the same as those of the magnet powder 1 of the present invention.
It can be seen that the magnetic properties are lower than the magnetic properties of the bonded magnets manufactured in Nos. 1 to 2. Similarly, it was confirmed that the bonded magnets prepared with the magnet powders 3 to 20 of the present invention had better magnetic properties than the conventional one.
