  • a further object of this invention is to provide a method of manufacturing low-cost ferromagnetc materials using inexpensive, relatively abundant raw materials.
  • a stil] further object of this invention is to provide a ferro-magnetic material suitable to be magnetized into a permanent magnet which has a high intrinsic coercive orce combined with a fairly high value of magnetic remanence.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide -a ferromagnetic material in which the presence of impurities in substantial amounts does not adversely atect the magnetc properties of the material.
  • the ferromagnetic materials according to the invention compnise essentially non-cubic crystals of polyoxides of iron and at least one of the metals selected from the group consisting of barium, strontium and lead.
  • the materials may contain calcium in an amount equal to 2111 atomic fraction of up to 0.4 of one of the metals barium, strontium and lead.
  • These materials have an intrinsic coercive field strength I c exceeding about 700 oersteds, a remanence Br of at least about 1200 gauss and a (BH) max of the order of 1.1 X
  • the ter-romagnetic materials according to the invention are prepared by forming a mixture of ferric oxide (Fe2Os) and one or more of the oxides of strontium, lead, barium and calcium in proportions which produce non-cubic crystals i. e., 21 mol ratio of between about 2:1 and 10:1, and heating the mixture to a temperature in a range of about 900 to 1450 C., preferably between about 1100 and 1450 C., and for adequate time to 2,762777 Patented Sept. 11, 1956 form the crystals of the polyoxides of iron and other met-als.

  • the heating may be efiected.in various atmospheres provided they do not reduce the oxides to the metals or to unwanted lower oxides. We prefer to use air as the atmosphere, although one has considerable latitude as regards the choice of the gas atmosphere, always provided that no undue reduction is etfected.
  • the crystals formed by heating the mixture are noncubic in structure and, as a rule, 'are hexagonal.
  • a specific class among the same is charaoterized by the crystal st-ructure of the mineral magn6t-oplumbite (Pb0.6 Mn, Fe)z0s) and by a chemical composition given by the formula MFe12O19, M being one or more of the metals bariu-rn, strontum and lead, as the case may be partially replaced by calcium to the extent indicated above for any one of said metals.
  • a fur-ther specific class of crystals is characterized by a unit cell having axes of 5.8 A. (a-axis) and 33 A.
  • the materials are somewhat porous, the porosity depending mainly upon the length of time they were heated and the temperature atWhich they were heated. Very dense materials usually have a high magnetic remanence While the more poreus materials have a higher nternal coercive field strength so that the heating temperature andtime of heating must be selected to give the desired properties.
  • lead it is preferable, because of the volatility of this metal, to heat the mixture at a temperature in the lower part of the range and to use a somewhat larger quantity of the lead oxide constituent than appears necessary for the formation of the crystals.
  • the materials according to the invention have-a high volume resistivity, e. g. hgher than 10 ohms/cm. and When used as core materils need not be laminated t0 reduce eddy-current losses.
  • Permanent magnet bodies according to the invention are relatively -dense bodies consisting essenti-ally of these materials. Such bodies are formed by compacting a finely-ground mixture of the raw materials followed by sintering. By sintering a mixture which has been compacted, not only a high density is obtaned in the sintered product but the reaction will be more complete with an accordingly higher yield of the desired ferrornagnetic compound. This leads to a higher value of saturation magnetization and therefore again to a high value of remanence. However, sintering to a dense body results in crystal growth and accordingly in a decrease of the coercive force.

Sept. 11, 1956 J. J. WENT ETAL PERMANENT MAGNET AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME Filed July 30, 1951 JAN JACOBUS WENT GERARD WILLEM VAN QOSTERH'0UT EVERT WI%LLEM ORTER BY AGENT United States Paterit PERMANENT MAGNET A'ND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME Application July 30, 1951, Serial No. 239,264
Claims priorty, application N etherlauds September 19, 1950 19 Claims. (Cl. 252-625) 'Ihis invention relates to ferromagnetic materials, to permanent magnets made therefrom and to methods of making the same.
One of the important requirements in the manufacture of ferro-magnetic materials is that the mater-ial be substantially free of impurities since such impurties tend to lower the values of the magnetic characteristics of the material. Consequently, extreme care in the seleetion of the basic constituents and in the processing of the same into the ferromagnetic material is essential.
Another important requirement, particularly for permanent magnet materials, is a high coercive force. Although permanent magnets have been developed which exhibit fairly large coercive forces; e. g. several hundred or more oersted, such magnets have the disadvantage that the raw materials used, for instance cobalt, are relatively expen-sive.
The main object of this invention is to provide ferromagnetic materials which are manufactured trom inexpensive raw m-aterials, are inexpensive to manufacture and at the same time have high coercive forces.
Another object of this invention is to provide a method of manufacturng ferr-omagnetc materials which can be magnetized into permanet magnets.
A further object of this invention is to provide a method of manufacturing low-cost ferromagnetc materials using inexpensive, relatively abundant raw materials.
A stil] further object of this invention is to provide a ferro-magnetic material suitable to be magnetized into a permanent magnet which has a high intrinsic coercive orce combined with a fairly high value of magnetic remanence.
And yet another object of this invention is to provide -a ferromagnetic material in which the presence of impurities in substantial amounts does not adversely atect the magnetc properties of the material.
Addi-tional objects of the invention will appear as the specificaton progresses.
The ferromagnetic materials according to the invention compnise essentially non-cubic crystals of polyoxides of iron and at least one of the metals selected from the group consisting of barium, strontium and lead. In addition, the materials may contain calcium in an amount equal to 2111 atomic fraction of up to 0.4 of one of the metals barium, strontium and lead. These materials have an intrinsic coercive field strength I c exceeding about 700 oersteds, a remanence Br of at least about 1200 gauss and a (BH) max of the order of 1.1 X
The ter-romagnetic materials according to the invention are prepared by forming a mixture of ferric oxide (Fe2Os) and one or more of the oxides of strontium, lead, barium and calcium in proportions which produce non-cubic crystals i. e., 21 mol ratio of between about 2:1 and 10:1, and heating the mixture to a temperature in a range of about 900 to 1450 C., preferably between about 1100 and 1450 C., and for suficient time to 2,762777 Patented Sept. 11, 1956 form the crystals of the polyoxides of iron and other met-als. When using -two or more of the oxides of cal cium, barium, lead and strontiurn mixed with Fez0a.and heated, non-cubic mixed orystals of the polyoxides of iron and these metals are formed.
The heating may be efiected.in various atmospheres provided they do not reduce the oxides to the metals or to unwanted lower oxides. We prefer to use air as the atmosphere, although one has considerable latitude as regards the choice of the gas atmosphere, always provided that no undue reduction is etfected.
The crystals formed by heating the mixture are noncubic in structure and, as a rule, 'are hexagonal. A specific class among the same is charaoterized by the crystal st-ructure of the mineral magn6t-oplumbite (Pb0.6 Mn, Fe)z0s) and by a chemical composition given by the formula MFe12O19, M being one or more of the metals bariu-rn, strontum and lead, as the case may be partially replaced by calcium to the extent indicated above for any one of said metals. A fur-ther specific class of crystals is characterized by a unit cell having axes of 5.8 A. (a-axis) and 33 A. (c-axis) and by a chemical composition given approximately by the formula MFC1BOZ'T, M having the same meaning as indicated heretofore; as may be inferred trom the formula in question a small portion of the 1'ron contained in these crystals is present in the bivalent state.
The materials are somewhat porous, the porosity depending mainly upon the length of time they were heated and the temperature atWhich they were heated. Very dense materials usually have a high magnetic remanence While the more poreus materials have a higher nternal coercive field strength so that the heating temperature andtime of heating must be selected to give the desired properties. When using lead as one of the consttuents, it is preferable, because of the volatility of this metal, to heat the mixture at a temperature in the lower part of the range and to use a somewhat larger quantity of the lead oxide constituent than appears necessary for the formation of the crystals.
The materials according to the invention have-a high volume resistivity, e. g. hgher than 10 ohms/cm. and When used as core materils need not be laminated t0 reduce eddy-current losses. Permanent magnet bodies according to the invention are relatively -dense bodies consisting essenti-ally of these materials. Such bodies are formed by compacting a finely-ground mixture of the raw materials followed by sintering. By sintering a mixture which has been compacted, not only a high density is obtaned in the sintered product but the reaction will be more complete with an accordingly higher yield of the desired ferrornagnetic compound. This leads to a higher value of saturation magnetization and therefore again to a high value of remanence. However, sintering to a dense body results in crystal growth and accordingly in a decrease of the coercive force.
The invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following illustrative examples and the drawings in which Figures 1 to 3 are X-ray difiraction photographs (powder patterns) of materials according to the invention. The micro-structur of the materials has been determined frorn X-ray ditfraction patterns of single crystals. Once said structure is known, the accompanying powder pattern canbe indexed so as to find out the dimensions of the unit cell.
gms (2.5 mols) of Fez0s (percent by weight Fe=69.8) was g1ound for 13.5 =hours with alcohol in a hall mill.
After being dried and sieved, 300 gms. of the mixture were mixed with a suitable binder, such as nitrocellulose or polyvinylalcohol and formed into a kneadable mass trom which rods of about 3 mms. in diameter were extruded. The rods were dried for about 24 hours in air and subsequently passed through an electric oven whose heating zone had a length of 10 cms. and had a temperature of alaout 1310 C. at -a speed of 5 mms./=min., so that the sintering time was 20 minutes. The sintering process took place in air. After being passed through the oven, the rod was cooled and had a remanence Br and an intrinsic coercive field strength 1% of 1200 Gauss and 1940 oersted respectively, measured at room temperature. The rod consisted of two phases, namely, crystals mainly 35 u. in size of BaFerzm and Ba0.Fez0s.
Example 2 In a simlar manner as described in Example 1, a mixture consisting of 201.1 gms. (1 mol) of barium carbonate (percent by weight of Ba=68.3) and 480.6 gms. (3 mols) of FezOz (percent by weight of Fe=69.8) was ground, dried and sieved, subsequently mixed with a binder and formed into a kneadable mass which was extruded into rods of 3 mms. in diameter. The rods were sintered in the oven mentioned in Example 1 at a speed of mms. per minute and at a temperature of 1330" C. As in Example 1, the sintering process took place in air. The length of the heating zone being cms. the sintering period was 20 minutes. The rods thus 0btained had a remanence B;- of 1510 Gauss and an intrinsic coercive field strength 1% of 2080 oersted, measured at room temperature.
Example 3 A mixture consisting of 201.1 gms. (1 mol) of barinm carbonate (percent by weight of Ba=68.3) and 560.7 gms. (3.5 mols) of Fez0a (percent by weight of Fe=69.8) was ground, dried sieved and extruded into rods as indicated in Example 2. The rods were sintered in air at 1330 C. for 20 minutes. The rods obtained had a remanence B1 of 1600 Gauss and an intrinsic coercive field strength 1 0 of 1990 oersted, measured at room temperature. crystals mainly 38/.L in size of BaFem0rg and a second phase identified as Fez0s.
Example 4 A mixture consisting of 99.2 gms. (.5 mol) of barium carbonate (percent by weight of Ba=69.2) and 564.8 gms. (3.5 mols) of Fez0s (percent by weight of Fe=68.4) was ground for 15.5 hours with alcohol in a ball mill. After being dried and sieved, 300 gms. of the mixture were mixed with a binder such as nitrocellulose or polyvinylalcohol, formed into a kneadable mass and extruded into rods, similarly as in the preceding example. The rods were then sintered in air in an oven at a tem perature of 1330 C. for 10 minutes. The rods thus produced had a remanence Br of 2040 Gauss and an intrinsic coercive field strength 1% of 2380 oersted measured at room temperature. The apparent density (the quotient of weight and outer volume) was 4.87. As illustrated in Figure 1, the X-ray diagram showed that a magneto-plumbite phase was formed and, in addition, a small amount of x-Fez0z. The two phases had an X-ray density of 5.3, and therefore the relative volume of pores was Example 5 Starting with a mixture consisting 79.4 gms.

After drying, the powder was pre-sintered at 1100 C. in air for about 3.5 hours. After a binder had been added as described in Example 1, rods were extruded from this mixture and, after being dried overnight, were sintered in an oven as described in the preceding examples. The sintering process took place in air at a temperature of 1280 C. at a speed of passage of 10 mms./min., corresponding to a sintering time of 10 min. The rods thus obtained had a remanence B1 of 2155 Gauss and an intrinsic coercive field strength 1% of 2500 oersted measured at room temperature. The apparent density (quotient of weight and outer volume) was 4.67. As shown in Fig. 2, the X-ray diagram showed that a magnetoplumbite phase was formed and that substantially no second phase was present. The X-ray density of the magnetoplumbite phase being about 5.2, the relative pore volume was about Example 8 Similarly, as described in Example 7, a mixture conssting of 14.8 grns.
