Definitions

  • M is a rare earth metal or Th or a combination thereof; R is Co or C0 combined with one or more of the elements Fe, Ni and Cu) by sintering between 800" C. and 1100 C. in the presence of an oxygen getter.
  • oxygen getter examples of such an oxygen getter are Y, Th, Ca, Zr, Gd and Ce.
  • the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a permanent magnet of fine particles having permanentmagnetic properties, the essential constituent of which is a compound of a hexagonal structure whose existence range is integral with the existence range of the compound M R of the system MR, in which M is Co or a combination of Co with one or more of the elements Fe, Ni and Cu and R is one or more of the elements of the rare earth metals and/or Th, a solid body being made by sintering from a powder of permanent-magnetic particles of one or more compounds of M and R.
  • the element Y in this connection is also considered to belong to the rare earths.
  • the resultant permanent magnets may be magnetically isotropic or anisotropic according as the permanent-magnetic particles have been or have not been orientated prior to sintering.
  • a basic powder containing SmCo and SIHzCOq subsequent to orientation in a magnetic field was sintered at 1050 C. for one hour in a He-atmosphere. After sintering the sole compound of Sn and Co left was found to be the permanent-magnetic compound SmCo The resultant body was found to have the following permanent-magnetic properties:
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that sintering is carried out at a temperature lying between -800 C. and 1200 C. in an inert atmosphere in the presence of a material readily binding reactive gasses, such as oxygen, after which the body obtained is cooled and magnetized in a magnetic field.
  • the resultant higher values of coercive force are mentioned in the following table. This table also indicates which getter is used during sintering.
  • the invention therefore also relates to a permanent magnet manufactured by the method in accordance with the invention.
  • a method of manufacturing a permanent magnet comprising the steps of compacting into a body of given shape and dimensions, a mass of finely-divided material consisting of particles having permanent magnet properties and the essential constituent of which is a compound having a a hexagonal structure and whose existence range is integral with the existence range of the compound M R of the system MR, wherein M is an element selected from the group consisting of cobalt iron, nickel and copper and always includes cobalt and R is an element selected from the group consisting of the rare earths and thorium, and heating said body to a temperature between 800 C. and 1200 C.
  • a getter consisting of an element selected from the group consisting of Y, Ce, La, Th, and Ca to sinter said body into a highly-coherent body having a greater coercive force H,) than a like body prepared in like manner in the absence of a getter, thereafter cooling said body and magnetizing said body.
