Hereinafter, the magnetic compound according to the present invention will be described in detail. The magnetic compound of the present invention is represented by the following formula (R (1-x) Zr x ) a (Fe (1-y) Co y ) b T c M d A e , do.
(R) R is a rare earth element and is an essential component in the magnetic compound of the present invention because it exhibits permanent magnet properties. Specifically, R is at least one element selected from among Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Eu, and it is preferable to use Pr, Nd and Sm. The compounding amount a of R is 4 atomic% or more and 20 atomic% or less. When the content is less than 4 atomic%, precipitation of the Fe phase becomes remarkable and the volume fraction of the Fe phase after the heat treatment can not be lowered. When the content is more than 20 atomic%, the grain boundary phase is excessively large.
(Zr) Zr is effective for stabilizing the ThMn 12 type crystal phase by replacing a part of the rare earth element. That is, the Zr element is substituted with an R element in the ThMn 12 type crystal, and shrinkage of the crystal lattice occurs. As a result, when the alloy is heated to a high temperature or a nitrogen atom or the like is introduced into the crystal lattice, it has an effect of stably maintaining the ThMn 12 type crystal phase. On the other hand, in terms of magnetic properties, since the strong magnetic anisotropy derived from the R element is diluted by Zr substitution, it is necessary to determine the amount of Zr in terms of crystal stability and magnetic properties. However, in the present invention, the addition of Zr is not essential. When the amount of Zr is 0, the ThMn 12 type crystal phase can be stabilized by adjustment of the composition of the alloy and heat treatment or the like, and the anisotropic magnetic field becomes high. However, if the substitution amount of Zr exceeds 0.5, the anisotropic magnetic field is significantly lowered. The amount of Zr (x) is preferably 0? X? 0.3.
(T) T is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ti, V, Mo and W. 1 shows the stabilization region of the T element in the RFe 12-x T x compound (KHJ Buschow, Rep.Prog.Phys. 54, 1123 (1991)), It is known that the addition of Ti, V, Mo and W as the three elements stabilizes the ThMn 12 type crystal structure and exhibits excellent magnetic properties.
Conventionally, in order to obtain the stabilizing effect of the T component, since the ThMn 12 type crystal structure is formed by adding to the alloy in a larger amount than the necessary amount, the content of the Fe component constituting the compound in the alloy is lowered, The occupying sites of the Fe atoms are replaced with, for example, Ti atoms, and the overall magnetization is lowered. In order to improve the magnetization, the amount of Ti to be added is reduced. In this case, the stabilization of the ThMn 12 type crystal structure is inhibited. Although RFe 11 Ti has been reported as a conventional RFe 12-x Ti x compound, no compounds have been reported wherein x is less than 1, i.e., Ti is less than 7 atomic%.
Stabilization of the ThMn 12 -type crystal structure is inhibited when Ti which stabilizes the ThMn 12 -type crystal structure is reduced, and α- (Fe, Co) which is an obstacle to the anisotropic magnetic field or coercive force is precipitated. The present invention suppresses precipitation amount of? - (Fe, Co) by controlling the cooling rate of the molten alloy and makes the volume fraction of? - (Fe, Co) , It is possible to stably produce the ThMn 12 phase having high magnetic properties.
The compounding amount of the T component is such that x is less than 1, that is, less than 7 atomic% in the RFe 12-x Ti x compound. If it is 7 atomic% or more, the content of the Fe component constituting the compound is lowered and the overall magnetization is lowered.
In the compound represented by the formula (R (1-x) Zr x ) a (Fe (1-y) Co y ) b T c M d A e of the present invention, the Zr amount (x) and the T amount (c) (0 <c <7, x? 0) surrounded by c> -38x + 3.8 and c> 6.3x + 0.65.
(M) M is an inevitable impurity element and at least one element selected from the group consisting of Al, Cr, Cu, Ga, Ag and Au. This inevitable impurity element means a element that enters the raw material or an element that is mixed in the manufacturing process, and specifically includes Si and Mn. M is a contribution to the viscosity, the melting point of the phase other than the particles, or suppressed ThMn 12-form crystal of the growth of ThMn 12 type crystals (for example, the grain boundary), however, in the present invention is not essential. The amount (d) of M is less than 1 atomic%. If the content is more than 1 atomic%, the content of the Fe component constituting the compound in the alloy is lowered and the overall magnetization is lowered.
(A) A is at least one element selected from the group consisting of N, C, H and P. A can be expanded by the grating on the ThMn 12 by breaking the crystal lattice on the ThMn 12, improving the amount of characteristics of anisotropic magnetic field, saturation magnetization. The blend amount (e) of A is 1 at% or more and 18 at% or less. If the content is less than 1 atomic%, the effect can not be exhibited. If the content exceeds 18 atomic%, the content of the Fe component constituting the compound in the alloy is lowered, and the stability of the ThMn 12 phase is impaired and partly decomposed to lower the overall magnetization . The amount (e) of A is preferably 7? E? 14.
(Fe and Co) The compound of the present invention is Fe other than the above elements, and a part of Fe may be substituted with Co. By replacing Co with Fe, an increase in spontaneous magnetization can be caused by the slater magnetic poling rule, so that both characteristics of anisotropic magnetic field and saturation magnetization can be improved. However, when the substitution amount of Co exceeds 0.6, the effect can not be exerted. Further, substitution of Fe with Co increases the Curie point of the compound, and therefore has an effect of suppressing the decrease in magnetization at high temperature.
The magnetic compound of the present invention is represented by the above formula and is characterized by having a ThMn 12 type crystal structure. The ThMn 12 -type crystal structure is tetragonal and the values of 2? In the XRD measurement result are 29.801 °, 36.554 °, 42.082 °, 42.368 ° and 43.219 ° (± 0.5 °), respectively. The magnetic compound of the present invention is characterized in that the volume fraction of the? - (Fe, Co) phase is 20% or less. This volume fraction was calculated by the area ratio of? - (Fe, Co) phase in the cross section by image analysis by observing the sample with OM or SEM-EDX by resin burial polishing. Assuming that the tissue is not randomly oriented, the following relationship is established between the average area ratio (A) and the volume ratio (V). A? V Therefore, in the present invention, the area ratio of the? - (Fe, Co) phase measured in this way is defined as a volume fraction.
As described above, the magnetic compound of the present invention can improve the magnetization by reducing the T component as compared with the conventional RFe 11 Ti-type compound, and by reducing the volume fraction of the? - (Fe, Co) , It is possible to remarkably improve both characteristics of the saturation magnetization.
(Manufacturing Method) The magnetic compound of the present invention can be basically produced by a conventional manufacturing method such as a mold casting method or an arc melting method. However, in the conventional method, the magnetic compound other than the ThMn 12 phase (α- (Fe, Co ) Phase is precipitated, and the anisotropic magnetic field and the saturation magnetization are lowered. It is noted that the temperature <? - (Fe, Co) at which the ThMn 12- type crystal is precipitated is precipitated, and in the present invention, the molten alloy is quenched at a rate of 1 × 10 2 to 1 × 10 7 K / sec , and precipitation of α- (Fe, Co) is suppressed so that the FeMnO 3 crystal does not stay in the vicinity of the temperature at which α- (Fe, Co) is precipitated.

In the present invention, the particles obtained in the above step may be subjected to a heat treatment at 800 to 1300 占 폚 for 2 to 120 hours. By this heat treatment, the ThMn 12 phase is homogenized, and both characteristics of the anisotropic magnetic field and the saturation magnetization are further improved.
After grinding, the recovered alloy is infiltrated with element A (A is at least one element selected from the group consisting of N, C, H and P). Specifically, when nitrogen is used as the element A, nitrogen gas, ammonia gas, or the like is used as a nitrogen source, and the substrate is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature of 200 to 600 DEG C for 1 to 24 hours to nitride the substrate. When carbon is used as the element A, heat treatment is performed at 300 to 600 ° C. for 1 to 24 hours using a C 2 H 2 (CH 4 , C 3 H 8 , CO) gas or a heat decomposition gas of methanol as a carbon source And carbonize it. In addition, solid carburization using carbon powder or molten salt carburization using KCN or NaCN may be performed. H and P can be subjected to ordinary hydrogenation and printing.

As can be seen from the results shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, when the amount of Ti is less than 7 at%, the saturation magnetization is improved (especially at a high temperature), and the anisotropic magnetic field above the NdFeB magnet and the saturation magnetization (Examples 1 to 5). Also, the addition of Co showed an increase in saturation magnetization, particularly at a high temperature (comparison between Examples 1 and 2).
Examples 6 and 7
A molten alloy of the composition shown in Fig. 12 for the purpose of producing a compound was prepared and rapidly quenched at a rate of 10 4 K / sec by a strip cast method to prepare a quenched flake. In Example 7, heat treatment was then performed in an Ar atmosphere at 1200 DEG C for 4 hours. Subsequently, the flakes were pulverized in an Ar atmosphere using a cutter mill to recover particles having a particle diameter of 30 to 75 mu m. The size and area ratio of? - (Fe, Co) phase were measured for the obtained particles in the same manner as in Example 1, and the volume ratio was calculated. Subsequently, the obtained particles were nitrided in a nitrogen gas having a purity of 99.99% for 4 hours at 450 占 폚. (VSM) and crystal structure analysis (XRD) of the obtained particles were carried out, and the volume fraction of the? - (Fe, Co) phase after nitridation was calculated in the same manner as in Example 1. The results are shown in Fig. 12, Fig. 10, and Fig.
Comparative Examples 6 to 10
An alloy for the purpose of producing a compound having the composition shown in Fig. 12 below was arc-dissolved and cooled at a rate of 50 K / sec to prepare a flake. In Comparative Examples 7, 8 and 10, heat treatment was then performed in an Ar atmosphere at 1100 DEG C for 4 hours. Subsequently, the flakes were pulverized in an Ar atmosphere using a cutter mill to recover particles having a particle diameter of 30 to 75 mu m. The obtained particles were nitrided in a nitrogen gas having a purity of 99.99% for 4 hours at 450 占 폚. (VSM) and crystal structure analysis (XRD) of the obtained particles were carried out, and the results of measurement of the size and volume fraction of the? - (Fe, Co) phase measured in the same manner as in Example 1 were also shown. 12 and Fig. 10 and Fig.
Comparative Examples 11 and 12
A molten alloy for the purpose of producing a compound having the composition shown in FIG. 12 was prepared and quenched at a rate of 10 4 K / sec by a strip cast method to prepare a quenched flake. In Comparative Example 12, heat treatment was then performed in an Ar atmosphere at 1100 DEG C for 4 hours. Subsequently, the flakes were pulverized in an Ar atmosphere using a cutter mill to recover particles having a particle diameter of 30 to 75 mu m. The obtained particles were nitrided in a nitrogen gas having a purity of 99.99% for 4 hours at 450 占 폚. (VSM) and crystal structure analysis (XRD) of the obtained particles were carried out, and the results of measurement of the size and volume fraction of the? - (Fe, Co) phase measured in the same manner as in Example 1 were also shown. 12 and Fig. 10 and Fig.
Fig. 13 shows reflected electron images of the particles obtained in Examples 6 and 7 and Comparative Example 8. In Comparative Example 8 in which arc melting was performed, Fe was largely precipitated and the structure was heterogeneous. On the other hand, In EPMA, segregation of tissue was not confirmed. 14 shows the XRD results of the particles obtained in Examples 6 and 7 and Comparative Example 8. The results of XRD of Comparative Example 8 (arc dissolution)? Example 6 (quench)? Example 7 (quenching + homogenization heat treatment) The peak strength of? -Fe is lowered.
From the above results, it is considered that the quenching leads to the refinement of the? - (Fe, Co) phase and the decrease in the amount of precipitation, and further the fineness and homogeneity of the entire structure. Further, it is considered that the microstructure homogenization proceeds and the α- (Fe, Co) phase is also reduced by further performing the heat treatment after cooling, thereby further improving the characteristics. As described above, even when the amount of Ti is reduced from 7 at% to 4 at%, precipitation of the? - (Fe, Co) phase is suppressed by the quenching treatment and the homogenization heat treatment and the anisotropic magnetic field of the conventional one is expressed, It is possible to produce a magnetic compound having a TnMn 12 type crystal structure that is highly compatible with the characteristics of the TnMn 12 type crystal structure.
Examples 8 to 15 and Comparative Example 13
A molten alloy for the purpose of producing a compound having the composition shown in Fig. 16 below was prepared and rapidly quenched at a rate of 10 4 K / sec by a strip casting method to prepare a quenched flake, And the cobalt amount (y) was changed in Nd 7.7 (Fe (1-y) Co y ) 86.1 Ti 6.2 N 7.7 ) for 4 hours. Subsequently, the flakes were pulverized in an Ar atmosphere using a cutter mill to recover particles having a particle diameter of 30 μm or less. The obtained particles were nitrided at 450 DEG C for 4 to 24 hours in a nitrogen gas having a purity of 99.99%. Evaluation of magnetic properties (VSM) and crystal structure analysis (XRD) of the obtained particles were carried out. The results are shown in Fig. 16 and Fig. 17 to Fig.
As can be seen from the experimental results, the anisotropic magnetic field showed a high value without being influenced by the Co substitution rate. On the other hand, the saturation magnetization exhibited the maximum saturation magnetization with a Co substitution ratio of about 0.3, and showed a tendency to decrease at y = 0.7 or more. With respect to the Curie point, it increased with the increase of the amount of Co (the measurement was impossible due to limitations on the apparatus for y = 0.5 or more). Therefore, it can be seen that the range of 0? Y? 0.7 is preferable for Co.
20 to 22 show the relationship between the Co substitution ratio and the lattice constant (a), the lattice constant (c) and the lattice volume (V) of the crystal structure. From this result, it can be seen that the range of the lattice constant (a) is 0.850 nm to 0.875 nm, the range of the lattice constant (c) is 0.480 nm to 0.505 nm, and the range of the lattice volume (V) is 0.351 nm 3 to 0.387 nm 3 .
23 and 24 show the relationship between anisotropic magnetic field and saturation magnetization. Sufficiently high magnetic properties were obtained in the samples of the examples of the present invention.

Example 16 and Comparative Examples 14 to 17
A molten alloy for the purpose of producing a compound having the composition shown in Fig. 25 below was prepared and rapidly quenched at a rate of 10 4 K / sec by a strip cast method to prepare rapidly quenched flakes. The titanium amount (c) was changed in Nd 7.7 (Fe 0.75 Co 0.25 ) 92.30-c Ti c N 7.7 ). Subsequently, the flakes were pulverized in an Ar atmosphere using a cutter mill to recover particles having a particle diameter of 30 μm or less. The obtained particles were nitrided in a nitrogen gas having a purity of 99.99% for 4 hours at 450 占 폚. Evaluation of magnetic properties (VSM) and crystal structure analysis (XRD) of the obtained particles were carried out. The results are shown in Fig. 25 and Fig.
From the results of crystal structure analysis by XRD shown in Fig. 27, it was found that 1-12 phases were formed when Ti amount was 5.8 at% or more. On the other hand, 3-29 phase was generated when Ti amount was 3.8 at%, and 2-17 phase was generated when Ti amount was 1.9 at% or less. 26 shows the relationship between Ti amount change and crystal structure change.
Examples 17 to 27 and Comparative Examples 18 to 31
A molten alloy for the purpose of producing a compound having the composition shown in Fig. 28 and Fig. 29 below was prepared and rapidly quenched at a rate of 10 4 K / sec by a strip casting method to prepare a quenched flake, The Zr substitution ratio (x) and titanium amount (c) were changed in the Nd ( 7.7-x ) Zr x Fe 0.75 Co 0.25 92.30-c Ti c N 7.7 subjected to the heat treatment at 1200 ° C for 4 hours. Subsequently, the flakes were pulverized in an Ar atmosphere using a cutter mill to recover particles having a particle diameter of 30 μm or less. The obtained particles were nitrided at 450 DEG C for 4 to 16 hours in a nitrogen gas having a purity of 99.99%. Evaluation of magnetic properties (VSM) and crystal structure analysis (XRD) of the obtained particles were carried out. The results are shown in Fig. 28, Fig. 29 and Fig.
From the results shown in FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, it was found that the forming ability of 1-12 phase was lowered with decreasing Ti amount, but increased with the increase of Zr addition amount. From the results shown in Fig. 30, it can be seen that in the region where the 1-12 phase can be formed, c> -38x + 3.8 and c> 6.3x + 0.65 are satisfied between the Zr substitution ratio (x) (0 < c < 7, x > 0). This is because, as shown in FIG. 6, when the amount of Ti is lowered, the 8i site of hexagon A is substituted with an Fe atom having a smaller atomic radius from the Ti atom, so that the size balance of hexagon A is lowered. However, it is considered that 1-12 phase could be produced irrespective of lowering of Ti amount by replenishing the size balance by substituting Zr having smaller atomic radius than Nd atom.

It was confirmed that the lattice constant increases together with the increase in the amount of N in both the a-axis direction and the c-axis direction. It was also found that nitrogen penetrated to about 15.4 at% without destroying the crystal structure. In addition, the increase in the saturation magnetization and the anisotropic magnetic field accompanied with the increase in the amount of N was also confirmed in the same manner as described above.
