Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0286357A2] A method is disclosed for producing a permanent magnet of the Fe-B-MM type, comprising: (a) preparing a metallic powder having a mean particle size of 2-5 microns and having a composition comprising, by atomic weight percent: 60-80% Fe, 1-8% Al, 6-10% B, .1-.43% oxygen, 0-5% Dy and/or 0-10% Ni, and 12-22% MM, where MM is a misch metal (preferably having at least four naturally occurring insoluble cerium earth metals with a least 20% of the misch metal consisting of cerium and lanthanum), the powder having essentially a multiphase crystalline structure dominated by at least two R2Fe14B phases; (b) aligning such powder in a magnetic field; (c) compacting the aligned powder into shapes; (d) sintering such shapes at a temperature and for a period of time (i.e., in the range of 1000-1100 DEG C for .5-9 hours) to fuse the powder and increase the proportion of said R2Fe14B phases to at least 70% by volume of the shapes; and preferably (e) anealing the sintered shapes at a temperature (i.e., in the range of 550-650 DEG C for 1-4 hours) to cause the shapes to consist essentially of at least two R2Fe14B phases comprising the matrix and the phase RFe4B4 and the R-rich phase residing essentially in the grain boundaries.
