Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a rare earth magnet that can improve magnetic properties by both increasing a density of a sintered body and suppressing strain of a magnetic phase. The method includes preparing a magnetic powder containing Sm, Fe, and N, preparing a modifier powder containing at least one of metallic zinc or a zinc alloy, mixing the magnetic powder and the modifier powder to obtain a mixed powder, performing compression molding on the mixed powder in a magnetic field to obtain a magnetic field molded body, and performing pressure sintering on the magnetic field molded body to obtain a sintered body. In the pressure sintering, the magnetic field molded body is pressed and sintered at a pressure of 500 MPa or more and 900 MPa or less and at a temperature of 360° C. or more and 390° C. or less for 1 hour or more and 24 hours or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for producing a rare earth magnet, comprising: preparing a magnetic powder containing Sm, Fe, and N; preparing a modifier powder containing at least one of metallic zinc or a zinc alloy; mixing the magnetic powder and the modifier powder to obtain a mixed powder; performing compression molding on the mixed powder in a magnetic field to obtain a magnetic field molded body; and performing pressure sintering on the magnetic field molded body to obtain a sintered body, wherein in the pressure sintering, the magnetic field molded body is pressed and sintered at a pressure of 500 MPa or more and 900 MPa or less and at a temperature of 360° C. or more and 390° C. or less for 1 hour or more and 24 hours or less. 2 . A rare earth magnet comprising a sintered body of a mixed powder containing a magnetic powder containing Sm, Fe, and N, and a modifier powder containing at least one of metallic zinc or a zinc alloy, wherein a full width at half maximum of a diffraction peak of a (024) plane measured by an X-ray diffraction of the sintered body is 0.2 degrees or less, and wherein a bulk density of the sintered body is 6.2 g/cm 3 or more.
