  • This can be determined empirically using standard metallurgical techniques such as, for example, casting a liquid melt in a heated mold or simply allowing the molten alloy to cool in a crucible at room temperature.
  • cooling should be carried out in an atmosphere in which the alloy is substantially inert such as a noble gas or a vacuum.

  • at least 95 percent by weight or substantially all of the resulting free grains are single crystal grains. Since the Weakest bonds in the cast body exist at the grain boundaries, it is at these boundaries that breakage of the cast body usually preferentially occurs during comminution. In practice, due to breakage, the cast body should preferably have a grain size larger than that desired for the free grains to produce the highest amount of free grains of a single crystal.

Temperatures higher than 500 C. should not be used since they would tend to diffuse the zinc into the grains too rapidly.
  • the mixture is heated for a period of time sufiicient to form a continuous coating of zinc on the individual grains but insufficient to diffuse the zinc into the grains to deterio rate their permanent magnet properties to any significant extent. This time period can be determined empirically, and generally, at temperatures ranging from about 425 C. to about 450 C., the time period may range from about 15 to about 60 minutes.
  • the zinc coating formed on the grains should be sufliciently thick to maintain the magnetic stability of the grains in air at elevated temperatures of about 150 C.
  • the thickness of the zinc coating should be suflicient to prevent air from penetrating to the cobalt-samarium grain surface.

  • the use of the zinc in an amount of 1% to 15% by weight of the free grains has substantially no deteriorating effect on the permanent magnet properties of the grains and in some instances improves these properties. Amounts of zinc significantly in excess of 15 by weight of the free grains does not improve magnetic stability and would prevent a close packing of the grains in the non-magnetic matrix thereby diluting the permanent magnet properties somewhat.
