Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a manufacturing method of a rare-earth magnet with high coercive force, including a first step of pressing-forming powder as a rare-earth magnet material to form a compact S, the powder including a RE-Fe—B main phase MP (RE: at least one type of Nd and Pr) and a RE-X alloy (X: metal element) grain boundary phase surrounding the main phase; and second step of bringing a modifier alloy M into contact with the compact S or a rare-earth magnet precursor C obtained by hot deformation processing of the compact S, followed by heat treatment to penetrant diffuse melt of the modifier alloy M into the compact S or the rare-earth magnet precursor C to manufacture the rare-earth magnet RM, the modifier alloy including a RE-Y (Y: metal element and not including a heavy rare-earth element) alloy having a eutectic or a RE-rich hyper-eutectic composition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a rare-earth magnet, comprising the steps of: first step of pressing-forming powder as a rare-earth magnet material to form a compact, the powder including a RE-Fe-B main phase and a RE-X alloy grain boundary phase surrounding the main phase, wherein RE is at least one type of Nd and Pr, and X is a metal element; and second step of bringing a modifier alloy into contact with the compact, followed by heat treatment to penetrant-diffuse melt of the modifier alloy into the compact to manufacture the rare-earth magnet, the modifier alloy including a Nd—Pr—Cu alloy or a Nd—Pr—Al alloy as an alloy having a eutectic composition including Nd and Pr or a Nd, Pr-rich hyper-eutectic composition, and the heat treatment in the second step is performed at a temperature in a range of from 480 to 580° C.
