Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rare earth sintered magnet is produced by depositing a coating of rare earth-containing particles on the surface of a rare earth magnet body, and heat treating the magnet body for causing absorption and diffusion of rare earth element in the magnet body. The depositing step utilizes a particle impingement phenomenon.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing rare earth sintered magnet comprising the steps of: depositing a coating of R-containing particles on at least a portion of a surface of a rare earth magnet body; and heat treating the magnet body for causing absorption and diffusion of R in the magnet body, R being at least one element selected from rare earth elements, wherein the depositing step relies on an aerosol deposition method in which the R-containing particles are forced to impinge on the rare earth magnet body under the impetus of a differential pressure between an internal pressure of a chamber where the magnet body is held in place and a pressure of a supply for supplying the R-containing particles to the chamber, and the deposited coating is a porous coating and has a density which is 40 to 70% of the true density of the R-containing particles. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said R is at least one element selected from Dy, Tb, and Ho. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the rare earth magnet body comprises R 1 —Fe—B base composition, where R 1 is at least one element selected from Pr and Nd. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein in the step of heat treating, the magnet body is heat treated at temperature of 600 to 1,050° C. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein in the step of heat treating, the magnet body is heat treated at temperature of 600 to 1,050° C. and for 5 minutes to 80 hours. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the aerosol deposition method is conducted by injecting an aerosol containing the R-containing particles through a nozzle to the surface of the rare earth magnet body at temperature of 0 to 100° C.
