Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0386286A1] A rare earth-based permanent magnet is formed of a ternary compound composed of 12-30% by weight of a rare earth element, 1-10% by weight of titanium and the balance of iron or a quaternary compound composed of 12-30% by weight of a rare earth element, 1-10% by weight of titanium, up to 34% by weight of cobalt and the balance of iron. Specifically, the ternary and quaternary compounds have a crystalline structure belonging to the body-centered tetragonal system of the ThMn12 type. Different from conventional neodymium-boron-iron magnets, the inventive magnets are corrosion resistant and free from rusting and have a greatly improved Curie point as compared with rare earth-iron binary magnets. The incorporation of cobalt to the ternary compound has an effect of further increasing the Curie point.
