There are many points that the two-alloy method according to the prior art is not suitable or insufficient for realizing the truly excellent magnetic properties of Nd-based magnet alloys. That is, in the first method described above, the energy product of the magnet alloy is high, but the coercive force is about 9 kOe, and the coercive force decreases with increasing temperature. Magnet properties. The biggest problem is the magnetic field orientation. In the first method, an alloy exhibiting magnetism at room temperature can be obtained by appropriately selecting the composition. However, since the alloy obtained by the liquid quenching method becomes an amorphous amorphous phase or a fine crystal, the alloy is formed into a fine powder and a magnetic field. A specific crystal orientation cannot be oriented in the direction of the magnetic field even if it is oriented in a magnetic field. Therefore, the orientation of the molded body obtained even when the mixed raw material alloy powder is molded in a magnetic field is poor,
After sintering, sufficient magnet properties cannot be obtained.

In the second method, R 2 in the magnet alloy is
The phase coexisting with the Fe 14 B compound is an Nd-rich phase or Nd 1 + X F
e 4 B 4 phase, and both phases do not show magnetism at room temperature. Therefore, the presence of a compound having no magnetism disturbs the orientation, and a magnet having excellent magnetic properties cannot be obtained.
Also, in the third method using various elements and various compounds as powders to be mixed, since these compounds do not have magnetism, the demagnetizing field increases during orientation in a magnetic field, and the effective magnetic field strength decreases. Therefore, the rotation of the magnetic particles in the direction of the magnetic field becomes insufficient, and the orientation is disturbed.

In the third method, there is a proposal to improve the magnetic properties by using a low melting point element or alloy in the powder to be mixed. This is based on the idea that nucleation sites such as lattice defects and oxide phases existing at the grain boundaries of the R 2 Fe 14 B compound are removed and the grain boundaries are cleaned to improve the coercive force. However, the presence of the low melting point phase is actually a disadvantageous condition for improving the magnetic properties for the following reasons. If the low-melting phase is melted from, for example, around 660 ° C., the viscosity of the low-melting phase becomes considerably small at an actual sintering temperature of 1,100 ° C. As a result, the compact shrinks due to liquid phase sintering, and at the same time, the viscosity of the melt surrounding the grains is low, so that the rotation of the magnetic particles easily occurs, the orientation is disturbed, and the magnetic properties deteriorate. In other words, a desirable liquid phase component in the liquid phase sintering of the Nd magnet needs to maintain an appropriate viscosity without disturbing the orientation of the particles, and also to densify the compact and sufficiently clean up the grain boundaries. In the conventional two-alloy method, the roles of the magnetic field orientation and the coercive force improvement involving the liquid phase component are both sufficiently taken into consideration, and the magnetism and melting point of the liquid phase alloy component are appropriately adjusted so that these become the optimum conditions. I didn't adjust it. An object of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the two-alloy method and to provide a method for producing a rare-earth permanent magnet having excellent balanced magnetic properties.

In the present invention, the above alloys A and B are mixed at a specific ratio, and a magnet alloy C is produced by a so-called two-alloy method, whereby high magnetic properties can be exhibited. Less than,
The reason why the presence of these mixed phases in the B alloy resulted in the high magnetic properties of the magnet alloy will be described. The first reason is that these mixed phases have a Curie temperature above room temperature, which was achieved by the additive element Co. Further, these phases have magnetocrystalline anisotropy in a specific crystal direction. Therefore, when a B alloy powder containing one or more of these phases as a main constituent phase is mixed with an A alloy powder mainly composed of R 2 Fe 14 B phase and oriented in a magnetic field, the B alloy also becomes a ferromagnetic material. , Almost all the grains are oriented with the crystal direction aligned in the direction of the applied magnetic field, and high magnetic properties can be obtained.

The second reason is that the melting points of these phases are in a temperature range suitable for liquid phase sintering of Nd-based rare earth magnets, ie, 700 ° C.
It should be in the range of not less than 1,155 ° C. This temperature range is higher than the melting point of the Nd-rich phase (500-650 ° C),
In addition, the temperature is lower than the melting point (1,155 ° C.) of the R 2 Fe 14 B phase. Therefore, at the normal sintering temperature, only the Nd-rich phase is present and the viscosity of the melt does not decrease too much, so that the orientation of the particles is not disturbed, and the liquid phase is formed. The density is increased while cleaning the grain boundaries, and high magnet properties are realized after sintering. Another effect of the addition of Co is an improvement in corrosion resistance. The B alloy contains more rare earth elements than the A alloy and thus is easily oxidized and deteriorated. However, by adding Co, the oxidized deterioration can be prevented and stable magnetic properties can be obtained. Addition of Co to the A alloy also improves the corrosion resistance of the alloy, reduces oxidative degradation, and provides stable magnetic properties. Dy added to the B alloy is still present in the vicinity of the grain boundaries even after sintering and aging, and has the effect of improving the coercive force of the magnet alloy C. Similarly, various elements M added to the B alloy (where M is Al, Cu, Zn, In, Si, P, S, Ti, V, Cr,
Mn, Ge, Zr, Nb, Mo, Pd, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Hf, Ta, W
Represents one or more elements selected from the above) also has the effect of improving the coercive force of the magnet alloy C.

Next, a method for producing the magnet alloy C by the two-alloy method will be described. The A alloy and the B alloy obtained as described above are separately mixed and then mixed at a predetermined ratio. The pulverization is performed by wet or dry pulverization. Rare earth alloys are very active, and are used in an atmosphere such as Ar or nitrogen in the case of dry grinding and in a non-reactive organic solvent such as Freon in the case of wet grinding in order to prevent oxidation during grinding. Done. The mixing step is also performed in an inert atmosphere or a solvent as necessary. The pulverization is generally performed stepwise as coarse pulverization and fine pulverization, but mixing may be performed at any stage.
That is, a predetermined amount may be mixed after coarse pulverization and then finely pulverized, or may be mixed at a predetermined ratio after all pulverization is completed. It is necessary that both the A and B alloys are uniformly mixed with substantially the same average particle size. The average particle size is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 20 μm, and if it is less than 0.5 μm, it is easily oxidized and deteriorated.
If it exceeds sinterability, the sinterability deteriorates.

The mixing ratio of the A alloy powder and the B alloy powder is
It is preferable to mix the B alloy powder in the range of 1 to 30% by weight with respect to 99 to 70% by weight of the alloy powder. If the B alloy powder is less than 1% by weight, the sintering density does not increase and no coercive force is obtained, If it exceeds 30% by weight, the proportion of the nonmagnetic phase after sintering becomes too large, and the residual magnetic flux density becomes small. The obtained mixed powder of the alloy A and the alloy B is molded into a desired size by a molding press in a magnetic field, and further subjected to a sintering heat treatment. Sintering is performed in a vacuum or argon atmosphere at a temperature in the range of 900 to 1200 ° C. for 30 minutes or more, followed by aging heat treatment at a temperature lower than the sintering temperature for 30 minutes or more. After sintering, magnet alloy C
The compact has a density of 95% or more in terms of true density, and a high residual magnetic flux density can be obtained.

This was used as a B1 alloy. A1 alloy ingot and B1 alloy ingot are separately coarsely pulverized in a nitrogen atmosphere.
The mesh was made smaller than the mesh, and then the B1 alloy coarse powder was weighed at 90% by weight and the B1 alloy coarse powder at 10% by weight, and mixed in a nitrogen-purged V blender for 30 minutes. This mixed coarse powder was finely pulverized with a jet mill using high-pressure nitrogen gas to an average particle size of about 5 μm. The obtained mixed fine powder was press-molded at a pressure of about 1 Ton / cm 2 while being oriented in a magnetic field of 15 kOe. Then
