Accommodated in the rotor core 10 (magnet accommodation holes) is washed with water. The plurality of rotor core plates 11, 11... Constituting the rotor core 10 are deformed due to a temperature difference by rapid cooling with, for example, a rotor core 10 having a gap between adjacent rotor core plates 11 (hereinafter referred to as “deformed rotor core 10T”). ”).
Note that the heating temperature of the rotor core 10 in the demagnetizing step S10 is set so that the rotor core 10 becomes the deformed rotor core 10T in the rapid cooling step S20.

The vibration step S30 is a step of vibrating the deformed rotor core 10T formed in the rapid cooling step S20 using the magnet recovery apparatus 1.

However, when the quenching step S20 is performed as a subsequent step of the demagnetization step S10, it is necessary to heat the rotor core 10, and thus it is preferable to apply thermal demagnetization to the demagnetization step S10.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the demagnetizing process S10 and the rapid cooling process S20 were performed as a pre-process of the vibration process S30, only the demagnetizing process S10 is performed, or both the demagnetizing process S10 and the rapid cooling process S20 are performed. It is also possible not to do so.
