Abstract

Plastic magnets comprising Nd-Fe-B group alloys powder, ferrite magnetic powder and phenol resin binding agent offering lower­intermediary-high magnetic power as desired.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention:
  • The present invention relates to plastic magnets and, in particular, to plastic magnets comprising two types of magnet powder (ie Nd-Fe-B group alloys and ferrite) in random desired ratios bonded by phenol resin.
  • Description of the Prior Art:
  • Various types of plastics magnets wherein magnet powders are bonded by resins such as those comprising Ba Ferrite or Sr Ferrite magnet powder bonded by resin or rare-earth magnet powder bonded by resin, have been conventionally known and such magnets are utilized in small motors, acoustic transducers. health instruments and the like.
  • Of the various above-mentioned plastic magnets, the ferrite plastic magnets are priced low but have very low magnetic strength while the rare-earth alloy plastic magnets are highly priced while offering extremely powerful magnetic strength.
  • It is a fact, however, that plastic magnets need to possess only as much magnetic strength as an application might require and need not be of extremely powerful magnetic strength at all instances.
  • Conventionally, however, plastic magnets are known to be of either low magnetic power or high magnetic power as described above.
  • Summary of the Invention:
  • The present invention has been researched in view of the above-mentioned problem points and, in other words, is to provide plastic magnets having the characteristics of composite moulded pieces comprising Nd-Fe-B group alloys powder, ferrite magnet powder and with phenol resin as the binder.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Nd-Fe-B group alloys used in the present invention indicate the alloys comprising not only Nd-Fe-B but also addition of a small amount of Co or other substances to the alloys.
  • Ferrite magnet powder herein employed may be welknown ferrite magnets comprising Fe₂0₃, NiO, CuO, ZnO and the like, Ba Ferrite magnet, Sr Ferrite magnet.
  • For the resin binder, it is desirable to use phenol resin binder wherein resins comprising phenols (phenol, cresol, resorcin) and aldehydes (formaldehyde, aceto-aldehyde, furfural) or de­natured resin thereof and where these may be prepared, for example, by having the phenol and formaldehyde react with acid or alkali as a catalyst.
  • The use of a phenol resin binder prevents the above-mentioned powders to disperse unevenly due to variance in the respective specific gravities. In other words, the preliminary heating and drying treatment effects to form light resin costs on the surface of the powder particles resulting in granules of slightly viscous nature and while the granules may have variance in specific gravities, the movement thereof is thus limited making the magnets homogenous as long as the granules are mixed evenly.
  • The two types of magnet powder, Nd-Fe-B group alloys and ferrite, in random desired ratios are uniformly bonded with phenol resin, thereby enabling the production of plastic magnets of desired stages of magnetic power from low to intermediarly to powerful.
  • Moreover, the use of phenol resin binder has quaranteed ease of production, excellent thermal characteristics and mechanical strength of the products.
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    • Figs. 1 to 5 are the graphs showing respectively the magnetic characteristics in varying the ratios of Nd-Fe-B group alloys powder and ferrite powder such as 20:80, 30:70, 40:60, 80:20 and 85:15 (weight %), respectively.
    Examples:
  • The following gives a concrete discription of an example of a plastic magnet of the present invention.
  • Ferrite powder of average particle size 5µm comprising Fe₂0₃, MnO, ZnO and Nd-Fe-B group alloy powder of average particle size 200µm are mixed in are ratio of 20:80 (by weight) respectively. 5 weight % of phenol resin monomer and 2 weight % of methanol are added thereto and the resulting mixture is kneaded, and subsequently heated and dried for 10 minutes at 100°C - 120°C.
  • The resulting granual mixture was heated and compression moulded at pressure 1000 kg/cm², 160°C for about 5 minutes to obtain the moulded piece. De-gassing was effected once during the above process.
  • Subsequently, the moulded piece was magnetized by powerful magnetic field to obtain plastic magnet of homogeneous texture.
  • Furthermore, plastic magnets of varying ratios of the above­mentioned ferrite powder and Nd-Fe-B group alloy powder such as 30:70, 40:60, 80:20, 85:15 (weight) were produced in methods identical to the above-mentioned method.
  • The results thereof (BH max, Br, etc.) are given in Figs. 1 to 5.
  • While, in the example cited above, magnetization was effected on moulded pieces obtained by thermal hardening, it is also possible to magnetize the pieces simultaneously to heating and compression moulding and thereby obtain plastic magnets (anisotropic) of greater magnetic power.
  • As described in detail above plastic magnets of the present invention comprise Nd-Fe-B group alloy and ferrite magnet mixed in random desired ratios and as such the present invention offers plastic magnets of low-intermediary-high magnetic power as desired.
  • Moreover, the use of phenol resin binder allows for plastic magnets of excellent thermal characteristic and tenacity and well suited for large motors and acoustic transducers.
