It is an excellent permanent magnet that can achieve a maximum energy product (BH) max of 50 MGOe or more by sintering an alloy powder having a structure composed of a B phase, an R rich phase, and a B rich phase after pressure molding. Various compositions have been proposed for this magnet to achieve desired magnetic properties.

This method has a low oxygen content at the time of ingot, and the sedimentation of the rare earth metal phase which is easily oxidized is largely segregated, so that oxidation in the ingot crushing step can be relatively easily suppressed, and alloy powder having relatively low oxygen content Can be obtained.

197182号公報)。[0006] The "strip casting method" is an improvement of the "melting casting method", and is a method in which a molten alloy is formed into a cast piece having a thickness of 0.1 to 10 mm by a roll method, and this is crushed. In this method, by controlling the cooling rate of the molten metal by the roll, there is no crystallization of α-Fe, and 0.1 to 50 μm in the short axis direction and 5 to 200 μm in the long axis direction.
And a raw alloy having a crystal structure occupied by a columnar R 2 Fe 14 B phase, an R-rich phase finely dispersed between the R 2 Fe 14 B phase, and the B-rich phase, A magnet with high magnetic properties can be obtained. Since the cast pieces obtained are smaller than in the "melting casting method", there is also an advantage that the cost required for the pulverizing step in the magnet manufacturing step is small (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-1995).

(構成物件)の機能、数値限定理由を以下に述べる。BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The details of the present invention, that is, the function of each technical element (constituent article) and the reasons for limiting the numerical values will be described below.

る。In order to increase the remanent magnetization (Br), which is one of the magnetic characteristics of the R—Fe—B sintered magnet, the R 2 Fe 14 B phase in the magnet (hereinafter referred to as “main phase”). ) And the degree of orientation of the main phase needs to be increased. If the magnet composition is close to the main phase composition, the proportion of the main phase in the magnet can be increased.However, if the magnet composition is extremely close to the main phase composition, a liquid phase shortage in liquid phase sintering will occur, and the magnet Since the coercive force is reduced, there is a limit in approaching the composition.

るには、磁石製造における焼結工程前の微粉砕粉の粒子
が、単磁区粒子径に近いことが必要がある。安定に存在
できる単磁区の最大径は5〜10μm程度である。Therefore, the main point of the current high magnetic properties is to increase the degree of orientation of the main phase rather than to make the magnet composition close to the main phase. In order to increase the degree of orientation of the main phase, it is necessary that the particles of the finely pulverized powder before the sintering step in magnet production are close to a single magnetic domain particle diameter. The maximum diameter of a single magnetic domain that can exist stably is about 5 to 10 μm.

ため、液相焼結時には主相粒子周辺に十分な液相成分が
存在する必要がある。On the other hand, the coercive force of the R—Fe—B sintered magnet is expressed by the fact that the surface of the main phase, which is a ferromagnetic phase, is covered with a low melting point phase (R-rich phase and B-rich phase), The nucleation mechanism eliminates the reverse magnetic domain generation site. Therefore, at the time of liquid phase sintering, a sufficient liquid phase component needs to be present around the main phase particles.

粒子周辺にRリッチ相、及び、Bリッチ相が分散付着し
ていることが望ましい。From the above, as a sintered magnet structure capable of exhibiting high magnetic properties, a main phase having a crystal grain size of about 5 to 10 μm is covered with an R-rich phase and a B-rich phase liquid phase component. In addition, it is desirable that the proportion of the main phase in the magnet is as large as possible. Therefore, as the raw material alloy powder, it is desirable that the R-rich phase and the B-rich phase are dispersed and attached around the single crystal main phase particles of about 1 to 5 μm in the finely pulverized powder before sintering.

The gaps between the columnar crystals include a crystal structure in which a finely dispersed R-rich phase and a B-rich phase are present. When the alloy powder having such a crystal structure is finely pulverized, crushing proceeds from the R-rich phase and the B-rich phase between the main phase columnar crystals, and the pulverization proceeds in such a manner that the columnar crystals dissociate. Further, the dissociated main phase columnar crystal particles are pulverized by collision with other particles, and finally the R-rich phase and the B-rich phase are dispersed and attached around the single crystal main phase particles of about 1 to 5 μm. Become particles.

ためである。As described above, the finely pulverized powder from the cast piece by the strip casting method also becomes particles in which the R-rich phase and the B-rich phase are dispersed and attached around the single crystal main phase particles of about 1 to 5 μm. However, the cast pieces obtained by the strip casting method need to be coarsely pulverized into particles of several mm or less before being put into a fine pulverizing apparatus. It is desirable to have spherical particles of 20 to 500 μm in diameter. The reason for setting the particle diameter to 20 to 500 μm is that the particles having a particle diameter of 500 μm or more exert a large load on a fine pulverizing device such as a jet mill, and the particles having a diameter of 20 μm or less cannot sufficiently grow the above-described crystal structure in the particles.

よる。As a desirable composition of the alloy used in the present invention, R (where R is at least one of rare earth elements including Y): 30 to 35% by weight, B: 0.9 to 1.2% by weight,
The remainder: Fe (however, part of Fe can be replaced by one or two of Co and Ni) is the main reason for the following reasons.
【0020】R品位を30〜35重量%とするのは、R
品位が30重量%以下では磁石化工程での液相焼結時に
十分な液相が供給さないため十分な保磁力が得られず、
R品位が35重量%を超えると合金中の主相割合が低下
して残留磁束密度が低下し、磁気特性が低下するためで
ある。従ってR品位は30〜35重量%が望ましい。The reason why the R grade is 30 to 35% by weight is that R
If the grade is 30% by weight or less, a sufficient coercive force cannot be obtained because a sufficient liquid phase is not supplied during liquid phase sintering in the magnetizing process.
If the R grade exceeds 35% by weight, the ratio of the main phase in the alloy decreases, the residual magnetic flux density decreases, and the magnetic properties deteriorate. Therefore, the R grade is desirably 30 to 35% by weight.
【0021】B品位を0.9〜1.2重量%とするの
は、主相生成を安定させるBの品位が0.9重量%未満
ではR2Fe17相等の磁石特性発現に不必要な相が生成
し、1.2重量%を超えるとBリッチ相の生成割合が増
えて合金粉中の主相割合が低下して残留磁束密度が低下
し、磁気特性が低下するためである。従ってB品位は
0.9〜1.2重量%が望ましい。[0021] B grade from a 0.9 to 1.2% by weight, in the quality is less than 0.9 wt% of B to stabilize the main phase generating unnecessary to magnetic properties expression of R 2 Fe 17 phase etc. This is because when a phase is generated and exceeds 1.2% by weight, the generation ratio of the B-rich phase increases, the main phase ratio in the alloy powder decreases, the residual magnetic flux density decreases, and the magnetic properties deteriorate. Therefore, the B grade is desirably 0.9 to 1.2% by weight.

速度が小さすぎると粗大な結晶が成長して目的とする結
晶組織を得られない。In order to cool the molten metal having the desired composition to obtain the above crystal structure, it is necessary to control the cooling rate of the molten metal. If the cooling rate is too high, the alloy becomes amorphous, and if the cooling rate is too low, coarse crystals grow and the desired crystal structure cannot be obtained.

られる。In the strip casting method, the temperature can be controlled by the temperature of the molten metal, the temperature of the roll, the linear velocity of the roll relative to the molten metal, the plate thickness, and the like. However, in the strip casting method, it is necessary to grind the cast pieces to obtain powder.
On the other hand, in the atomization method, it is easy to directly obtain an alloy powder having a target particle size, and particles are controlled by controlling production conditions such as a spray medium, a melt temperature, a spray pressure, a spray nozzle diameter, and a spray nozzle shape. It can be obtained with the desired particle size. Further, control of the crystal structure, that is, 1 to 10 μm in the short axis direction
m, a columnar crystal of the main phase grown to 5 to 100 μm in the major axis direction, and an R-rich phase finely dispersed between the main-phase columnar crystals, and a structure in which the B-rich phase occupies,
It can be easily obtained by optimizing the manufacturing conditions in the atomizing method.

In particular, in the production of an Nd-Fe-B-based alloy powder in which Nd is selected as R by an atomizing method, an inert gas is desirably used as a spray medium. This is because the Nd—Fe—B-based alloy powder has a high activity in the atomization method using air and water, so that low-oxygen alloy powder cannot be obtained.

If the molten metal temperature is too high, the sprayed molten liquid droplets will have an irregular particle shape when solidified in the chamber, and if the molten metal temperature is too low, the crystal structure tends to be amorphous and the resulting alloy powder becomes coarse. Because it is easy. As for the other manufacturing conditions, the optimum conditions are different for each atomizing apparatus, but the target particles can be obtained by controlling the manufacturing conditions.
