Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of densifying magnetically anisotropic powders, for example, powders of ferromagnetic metals, metal alloys or ceramic materials into solid magnetic bodies, in which method a powdery mass is subjected to an external magnetic field which orientates the powder particles, said mass being densifted by compression.
  • Such a densifying method has various disadvantages.
  • the orientated powder is not densified homogeneously so that the relative orientation of the powder particles (alignment) is changed and hence the magnetization in the direction of magnetization is adversely affected.
  • the powder mass is locally deformed to a great extent mainly due to friction along the wall. This has This unfavorable influence on the orientation of the particles and hence on the magnetization in the direction of magnetization.
  • the present invention has for its object to obviate said dis advantage and to overcome the barrier to the increase in magnetization by an increased density obtained by compression.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that the powdery mass is compressed by an isostatic pressure of at least kb., and that it is slightly deformed anisotropically plactically, the said isostatic pres sure being maintained.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a permanent magnet manufactured of magnetically anisotropic powder by the method described above.
  • the permanent magnet is characterized in that the density is at least 85 percent of the theoretic density and the magnetization in the direction of magnetization is at least 90 percent of the saturation magnetization.
  • An advantageous permanent magnet embodying the invention is characterized in that the essential constituent of the powder is a compound of hexagonal structure, the existence range of which is integral with the existence range of the compound in the system M-R that is M 11, wherein M is Co or a combination of Co with one or more of the elements Fe, Ni and Cu and R designates one or more of the elements of the rare earth metals and/or Th and/or Y.
  • Such powders are known from Dutch Pat. application No. 6,608,335 and are particularly suitable for providing in conjunction with the method according to the invention permanent magnets having very high (BH),,,,,, values.
  • BH very high
  • M is Co and R is Sm
  • the energy product (BH),,,,,,, has a value of at least 14.10 Gauss Oersted.
  • the energy product (BH of this magnet is considerably higher than that of the SmCo, magnets hitherto known. From the review "Journal of Applied Physics", Vol. 39, No. 3, 1968, pages l,7l9-l,720 is known, for example, an SmCo, magnet on which a (BH),,,,,,, value of 8. l X10 Gauss Oersted has been measured, whereas the present magnet attains values of 15x10 Gauss Oersted and higher.
  • Magnetically anisotropic powder is put into a rubber bag and disposed in a magnetic field so that the powder particles are orientated. While the magnetic field is maintained, the powder is compressed until a coherent block of particles is obtained.
  • the rubber bag with its contents is evacuated and sealed in an airtight manner.
  • the block is then isostatically predensified (for example at a pressure of 8 kb.) and after the compression the rubber bag is removed.
  • the isostatic predensificatio'n may be carried out by hydrostatic means.
  • the block is then introduced in a container of ductile material.
  • the container is sealed by a covering plate, which may be soldered to the container.
  • the container is compressed at a high isostatic pressure of, for example, 20 kb. and while this high pressure is maintained it is slightly deformed anisotropically and plastically.
  • This compression may be carried out hydrostatically in a press having, in addition, the means for performing said plastic deformation.
  • a press may be constructed as is shown schematically in the F IGURE.
  • Reference numeral 1 designates a compression vessel having a shoulder 2 on the inner side.
  • the vessel has a space 3 filled with liquid.
  • liquid In order to prevent the liquid from changing into the solid state at the high pressures of the order of 7 kb., petrol is used as a pressure transmitting medium. Other appropriate liquids may be chosen for this purpose.
  • the space 3 is bounded on the lower side by a plunger 4, which is adapted to reciprocate in the compression vessel by means of a hydraulic worm 5, connected therewith, and on the upper side by a plunger 6, which is connected with a hydraulic worm 7 and is also adapted to reciprocate in the compression vessel.
  • the hydraulic worms 5 and 7 can be driven independently of each other.
  • the aforesaid, hermetically closed container 10 containing the block of magnetically orientated material In the space 3 between the shoulder 2 and the plunger 6 two loose dies 8 and 9 are provided between which is arranged the aforesaid, hermetically closed container 10 containing the block of magnetically orientated material.
  • the container may be introduced into the vessel by removing the plunger 6.
  • the assembly of the compression vessel, the dies and the hydraulic worms is arranged in a frame ll.
  • the press operates as follows:
  • each of the plungers 4 and 6 exert equal high pressures on the liquid in the space 3.
  • the hydrostatic pressure is exerted on the container 10, which is thus compressed, the orientated powder contained therein being homogeneously densified.
  • the pressure exerted by the plunger 6 is slightly raised, whereas the pressure exerted by the plunger 4 is kept constant.
  • the assembly of plungers 4 and 6 and the liquid column thus move slowly downwards.
  • the plunger 6 touches the die 8 and the container 10 is slightly deformed.
  • an anisotropic plastic deformation is obtained. It has,'of course. to be ensured that liquid can always flow along the dies 8 and 9, for example, by providing holes therein.
  • the pressure of the plungers is obviated and the container can be removed from the compression vessel and be opened.
  • Powder of SmCo having an average particle size of less than pm. was orientated in a magnetic field of 30,000 Oersted and then hydrostatically predensified to 70 percent of the theoretic density.
  • the resultant material was hermetically enclosed in a lead container then hydrostatically compressed and slightly deformed anisotropically and plastically in the manner described above.
  • the hydrostatic pressure was 20 kb.
  • the result was an SmCo, magnet having a density amounting to 93 percent of the theoretic density.
