In recent years, magneto-optical recording media have been developed as recording media that can record information at high density and that can be easily reproduced, erased, and re-recorded.The magnetic metal thin film that forms the recording layer is made of rare earth elements and transition metals. amorphous alloys (TbâFeâCo, GdâTb
-Fe, etc.) are attracting attention for practical use because they have many advantages, such as requiring less energy for recording, no grain boundary noise, and the ability to relatively easily produce large-sized materials. .

ãªã³ã°æ³ãåªããŠããã In this way, in magneto-optical recording media, rare earth
Transition metal alloy thin films are attracting attention, and methods for forming them include chemical plating methods, sputtering methods, ion plating methods, vacuum evaporation methods, and the like. Among these methods, the sputtering method is superior because the quality of the obtained magnetic thin film is good.

æå©ã§ããã Although a target is required in the sputtering method, an alloy type target is advantageous in that it has a good yield, little change in composition, and it is easy to obtain an alloy thin film having the desired composition.

åé¡ãããã Now, as a method for producing a rare earth element-transition metal alloy used as a target, there is a conventional method of melting rare earth elements and transition metals by arc discharge etc., but since rare earth elements are highly active, it is difficult to process In addition, the property of intermetallic compounds such as poor retention, segregation, and pore-containing ingots, which are extremely brittle of alloys of rare earth elements and transition metals, appears, especially in large alloy lumps. There is a problem in that cracks and cracks are likely to occur during production.

However, the raw material alloy powder used in the above-mentioned powder metallurgy method is conventionally manufactured by crushing an alloy ingot obtained by melting component metals, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 60-230903. However, since rare earth elements have the property of being easily oxidized in the air, the oxygen content of the alloy powder obtained during crushing increases, and as a result, the oxygen content of the sintered body also increases. is unavoidable. There is a problem in that oxygen in this sintered alloy significantly deteriorates the magneto-optical properties of a thin film produced by sputtering. In order to reduce the oxygen content in the sintered metal, it is necessary to perform the above-mentioned pulverization process in an organic solvent or in an inert atmosphere, but this has the drawbacks that the process is complicated and the manufacturing cost is extremely high. There is.

Here, in the wet treatment, the reaction product mixture may be left in steam if necessary, and then brought into contact with water by a method such as pouring into water and stirring, and acid treatment is performed if necessary. When the reaction product mixture is brought into contact with water, residual alkali metals, etc. and by-product oxides contained therein react with water, such as Ca(OH) 2
Since hydroxides of alkali metals and the like are generated and dissolved, the lumpy mixture disintegrates. After stirring the slurry produced by the disintegration, the suspension of hydroxides such as alkali metals at the top is removed by decantation, and the slurry is removed by repeating the operations of water injection, stirring, and decantation. Hydroxide can be removed from the resulting alloy powder. In addition, some remaining hydroxide can be removed using acetic acid or hydrochloric acid to
6, preferably by washing at pH 4 to 5. The alloy powder obtained through such a wet treatment may be washed with water, washed with an organic solvent such as alcohol or acetone, dehydrated, and dried in vacuum, for example. The disintegration of a lumpy mixture, which is a reaction product, during wet processing differs as follows depending on the presence or absence of an alkali metal chloride. If there is no mixture of alkali metal chlorides, etc., it takes 20 to 30 minutes for almost complete disintegration.
Although it takes time, when an alkali metal chloride or the like is mixed, the disintegration is completed in 5 to 30 minutes.

This prevents particles of raw metal powder and produced alloy powder from sintering with each other, and also prevents by-products from sintering.
It is thought that it dissolves in an oxide of an alkali metal such as CaO and improves the separation between the produced alloy powder and the oxide of an alkali metal such as CaO.

ããExample 1 Tb-Fe-Co alloy powder (target composition (weight%)
Tb 4 O 7 with a purity of 99.9% or more for the purpose of producing Tb: 55%, Fe: 42%, Co: 3%).
(average particle size 3ÎŒm or less) 407.4g, iron powder (particle size 200 mesh or less) 250.6g, cobalt powder (particle size 200 mesh or less) 20.4g, metallic calcium (particle size 4 mesh or less) 305.1g, and anhydrous calcium chloride (particle size 100 mesh or less). 40.7g of the following ingredients were added and mixed thoroughly. The mixture was placed in a stainless steel reaction vessel and heated for 1000 min in a stream of high-purity argon gas.
The temperature was raised to °C in about 1 hour, maintained at that temperature for 5 hours, and then cooled to room temperature. The resulting lumpy mixture
1012.3g was added to the water in Step 5. After the lumpy mixture was broken down, the upper Ca(OH) 2 suspension was separated from the resulting slurry by decantation, water was added, the slurry was stirred for 5 minutes, and decantation was performed again. This operation of pouring water, stirring, and decanting was repeated to sufficiently separate calcium oxide from the alloy powder. Dilute acetic acid was added dropwise to a slurry of alloy powder and water with stirring until the pH reached 4.5, and this was maintained for 20 minutes. This was filtered, and the obtained alloy powder was washed with water and ethanol several times, and vacuum-dried at 50° C. and 1Ã10 â2 Torr for 12 hours. The composition (wt%) of the metal powder thus obtained was: Tb: 55.4%, Co: 3.4%, Fe:
The amount of O 2 as an impurity was 0.10% by weight, which was extremely small. 540 g of the obtained alloy powder was charged into a graphite molded product with an inner diameter of 130 mm and hot pressed. As a condition for hot pressurization, the degree of vacuum is 5Ã
10 -5 Torr, and to pressurize the powder, 0.15t/
A pressure of cm 2 was applied until the temperature rose to 1000° C. After the temperature was raised, the pressure was increased to 0.25 t/cm 2 and that temperature was maintained for 1 hour.
After the obtained sintered body was cooled to room temperature, when it was taken out from the molding machine, there was almost no adhesion to the molding machine and it could be easily taken out. The sintered alloy was visually observed for cracks and cracks, but no cracks were found.The interior was inspected by irradiating transmitted X-rays, but no cracks or cracks were observed.
