Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sintered magnet and a method for producing the same are provided. The method includes producing an R—Fe—B-based magnet powder by a reduction-diffusion method, adding a R—Al—Cu powder as a sintering agent to the R—Fe—B-based magnet powder to form a mixed powder, wherein the R—Al—Cu powder is an alloy of R, Al and Cu, and R is Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb or Ce, and sintering the mixed powder to form a sintered magnet.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a sintered magnet, comprising: producing an R—Fe—B-based magnet powder by a reduction-diffusion method, adding a R—Al—Cu powder as a sintering agent to the R—Fe—B-based magnet powder to form a mixed powder, wherein the R—Al—Cu powder is an alloy of R, Al and Cu, and R is Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb or Ce, sintering the mixed powder to form a sintered magnet, and forming the R—Al—Cu powder as the sintering agent, wherein the forming the R—Al—Cu powder comprises: mixing RH 2 powder, Al powder, and Cu powder to form a sintered precursor, agglomerating the sintered precursor, raising a temperature of the agglomerated sintered precursor to form a metal alloy, and pulverizing the metal alloy to form the sintering agent. 2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising wrapping the agglomerated sintered precursor in a metal foil when raising the temperature of the agglomerated sintered precursor. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the metal foil is Mo or Ta. 4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein when wrapping the agglomerated sintered precursor in the metal foil and raising the temperature, the temperature is raised in an argon gas atmosphere. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the forming the sintered precursor further comprises mixing a liquid Ga. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the forming the metal alloy further comprises: wrapping the agglomerated sintered precursor in a metal foil, raising the temperature up to 900 degrees Celsius to 1050 degrees Celsius, and then performing an additional heat treatment. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the agglomerating the sintered precursor uses any one of hydraulic pressing, tapping, or cold isostatic pressing (CIP). 8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: adding a NdH 2 powder to the R—Al—Cu powder as the sintering agent.
