- This publication describes the following as an advantage of producing a bonded magnet by mixing two types of magnetic powders having different particle sizes. That is, in forming the bonded magnet, the ferrite magnet powder is preferentially filled in the particle gap of the anisotropic NdFeB-based alloy powder (or the particle gap of the powder thinly coated with the binder resin). As a result, the porosity of the bonded magnet decreases.
- the penetration of 1 2 2 and H 20 is suppressed, and the heat resistance and the weather resistance are improved.

'If this crack at the mouth of the micropore occurs, the active metal fracture surface is exposed, and the oxidation of the RFeB-based anisotropic magnet powder proceeds, which is thought to cause the deterioration of the bonded magnet over time. is there.
- the R 1 Fe B based anisotropic magnet powder obtained by the hydrogenation treatment has high susceptibility to cracking due to microcracks, and thus the above-mentioned deterioration over time is likely to occur.
- the present inventor when molding a bonded magnet from the composite magnet powder, heat molding
- a fluid layer (hereinafter, referred to as “ferromagnetic fluid layer” in the present invention).
- the idea was to increase the fluidity between the constituent particles and to reduce the stress generated between the constituent particles by causing a floating state in the constituent particles. It was also conceived that such a ferrofluid layer was composed of a binder resin and fine R 2 Fe (N, B) -based anisotropic magnet powder dispersed in the resin. And we succeeded in obtaining a bonded magnet with excellent magnetic properties and weather resistance.
- the bonded magnet of the present invention is not simply a mixture of a magnet powder having a different particle size and a resin serving as a binder, as in the related art. If simply hot molding is used in comparison with the conventional cold forming technology, the R 1 FeB anisotropic magnet powder does not necessarily float in the fluid layer. The present inventors have confirmed that sufficient fluidity cannot be obtained between particles. As in the present invention, in order for the coarse R 1 FeB anisotropic magnet powder to be in a state of being suspended in the fluid layer and to enhance the fluidity between the constituent particles, the R1 FeB anisotropic magnet powder is used. Magnetic powder and R 2 Fe (N, B) -based anisotropic magnet powder must both be strongly compatible with the binder resin.
- R 1 Fe B type anisotropic magnet powder and R 2 Fe (N, B) type anisotropic magnet powder are used as surfactants for reducing the free energy of the interface with the resin.
- the above problem was solved by coating each. Due to the presence of the surfactant, the R 1 Fe B anisotropic magnet powder and the R 2 Fe (N, B) anisotropic magnet powder in the resin have a high fluidity different from the conventional one. Demonstrate the nature. That is, at the time of heat molding of the bonded magnet, whether the R 1 Fe B anisotropic magnet powder or the R 2 Fe (N, B) anisotropic magnet powder is floating in the aforementioned fluid layer It will be like the following.
- the R 2 Fe (N, B) anisotropic magnet powder having a small particle size is contained in the resin in a ferromagnetic fluid layer having high fluidity. It is as if floating inside.
- the excellent fluidity described above works effectively when the bonded magnet is molded in a magnetic field. That is, since the fluidity of each anisotropic magnetic powder is high, excellent orientation and filling properties can be obtained. The magnetic properties can be further enhanced by this excellent combination of orientation and filling.
- R 1 Fe B coarse powder a material in which the surface of a coarse R 1 Fe B anisotropic magnet powder is coated with a first surfactant
- R 2 F An e (N, B) -based anisotropic magnet powder whose surface is coated with a second surfactant is referred to as R2Fe (N, B) -based fine powder.
- the ferromagnetic fluid layer is composed of a resin as a binder and R 2 Fe (N, B) -based fine powder uniformly dispersed in the resin. This is done by heating a mixture of R1FeB-based coarse powder, R2Fe (N, B) -based fine powder, and resin (which may be in powdered or molded form) to form a bonded magnet. It is formed when you do it. Specifically, it is a liquid layer formed at a temperature higher than the softening point of the resin. Therefore, this ferrofluid layer is formed at the melting or softening temperature range of the resin.
- This resin may be a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin.
- 03 04532 When the resin is a thermosetting resin, it may be heated to a temperature higher than its curing point for a short time. This is because the thermosetting resin does not immediately start to harden due to crosslinking or the like even if it is heated to a temperature higher than the curing point. Rather, by heating above the hardening point from the beginning of thermoforming, a ferrofluid layer with excellent fluidity can be quickly formed.
- a ferrofluid layer having high fluidity is formed, and a bonded magnet having high density, excellent magnetic properties and excellent weather resistance can be obtained.
- the thermosetting resin starts curing after a predetermined time, and the ferrofluid layer becomes a cured layer. If the resin is a thermoplastic resin, the ferrofluid layer becomes a solidified layer by subsequent cooling.
- the temperature during the heating and kneading is preferably equal to or higher than the softening point of the resin and lower than the curing point. If a compound manufactured by heating and kneading at a temperature equal to or higher than the hardening point is used, the resulting pound magnet may be cracked or its magnetic properties may be degraded.
- the ferrofluid layer has a high fluidity, and the R 1 Fe B anisotropic magnet powder having a coarse particle diameter passes through a surfactant via the surfactant. Good lubrication by ferrofluid layer.
- a very high stress relaxation effect is obtained during the formation of the bonded magnet, the occurrence of the above-mentioned microcracks and the accompanying cracks can be prevented, and the aging of the magnetic properties due to the oxidation of the newly fractured surface is significantly reduced.
- Bond magnets having the following characteristics can now be obtained.
- Pond magnets having such excellent weather resistance are used not only in equipment used at room temperature but also in equipment used in hot environments where oxidative deterioration is likely to occur (for example, in hybrid vehicles). And drive motors of electric vehicles).
- the right magnetic pole with high magnetic properties of maximum energy product (BH) max 167 kJ / ni 3 or more and excellent weatherability with a permanent demagnetization rate of 6% or less is required.
- the bonded magnet of the present invention satisfies these requirements for the first time. (Compound for rare earth anisotropic bonded magnet)
- the present invention can be understood as a compound suitable for manufacturing the above-mentioned bonded magnet. That is, the present invention provides an R 1 Fe B-based alloy containing R 1, F e, and B as main components, which has an average particle size of 50 to 400 / m obtained by performing a hydrogenation treatment.
- the R 1 Fe B-based coarse powder consisting of the 1 Fe B-based anisotropic magnet powder and the first surfactant covering the surface of the constituent particles of the R 1 Fe B-based anisotropic magnet powder is 50%.
- R 2 Fe (N, B) -based fine powder consisting of a magnetic magnet powder and a second surfactant covering the surface of the constituent particles of the R 2 Fe (N, B) -based anisotropic magnet powder 15 to 40 mass%, and the resin as a binder is composed of 1 to 10 mass%, and the surface of the constituent particles of the R 1 FeB-based coarse powder has the R 2 F e A core for a composite rare earth anisotropic pound magnet, characterized by being coated with a coating layer in which (N, B) -based fine powder is uniformly dispersed. It may be used as the pound.
- R 2 Fe (N, B) fine powder and resin are uniformly dispersed around R 1 Fe B coarse powder, forming bonded magnet Even at relatively low molding pressures, bonded magnets with a sufficiently high density and very high magnetic properties can be obtained. This reduction in molding pressure contributes to a reduction in manufacturing costs by reducing equipment costs and manufacturing time.
- the R2Fe (N, B) -based fine powder is not unevenly distributed during the heating magnetic field molding, and the R1FeB-based coarse powder

- R 1 Fe B anisotropic magnet powder is a powder obtained by subjecting an R 1 Fe B alloy containing R 1, Fe and B as main components to a hydrogenation treatment.
- the hydrogenation treatment referred to in the present invention includes an HDDR treatment method (hydrogeenatioiii-decompo ositioon—disproppotlontat-on-reecombinnatation) and a d-HDDR treatment method.
- the HDDR processing method mainly consists of two steps. That is, the first step (hydrogenation step) in which the temperature is maintained at 500 to 1000 ° C in a hydrogen gas atmosphere of about 100 kPa (latm) to cause a three-phase decomposition disproportionation reaction,
- the dehydrogenation step (second step) is performed.
- the dehydrogenation step is, for example, a step of setting the hydrogen pressure to an atmosphere of 10-a or less.
- the temperature is, for example, 500 to 100
- the temperature may be set to 0 ° C.
- the hydrogen pressure referred to in this specification means a partial pressure of hydrogen unless otherwise specified. Therefore, as long as the hydrogen partial pressure in each step is within a predetermined value, a vacuum atmosphere or a mixed atmosphere of an inert gas or the like may be used.
- the HDDR processing itself is disclosed in detail in Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 7-68561, Japanese Patent No. 2576671, etc., and can be appropriately referred to.
- this is achieved by controlling the reaction rate of R1FeB-based alloy with hydrogen from room temperature to high temperature.
- the low-temperature hydrogenation step in which the alloy absorbs hydrogen sufficiently at room temperature JP03 / 04532
- the difference from the HDD R treatment is that by providing multiple processes with different temperatures and hydrogen pressures, the reaction rate between the R 1 FeB alloy and hydrogen is kept relatively slow, and homogeneous anisotropic magnetic powder is obtained. It is a point that is devised so that it can be done.
- the low-temperature hydrogenation step is, for example, a step of maintaining the hydrogen pressure in a hydrogen gas atmosphere at a pressure of 30 to 200 kPa and a temperature of 600 ° C. or less.
- the high-temperature hydrogenation step is a step of maintaining the hydrogen pressure in a hydrogen gas atmosphere at a pressure of 20 to 100 kPa and a pressure of 75 to 900 kPa.

Then, an oxide layer, which causes deterioration of magnetic properties, is formed on the newly generated active fracture surface.
- the surface of each constituent particle of the NdFeB-based coarse powder is SmFeN, as is clear from FIG. 2A. It is in a state of being uniformly surrounded by the system fine powder and the resin. In other words, the constituent particles of the NdFeB-based coarse powder are in a state of being densely filled with them. As a result, the NdFeB-based coarse powder is in a state as if it were floating in a ferrofluid layer formed by the SmFeN-based fine powder and the resin.

- the bonded magnet was heat-formed from the compound obtained by heating and kneading the R 1 Fe B-based coarse powder, the R 2 Fe (N, B) -based fine powder, and the resin was described.
- the above situation is not limited to such a case.
- the magnetic properties are the same as in the above-described case.
- the present inventors have confirmed that a bonded magnet having excellent weather resistance can be obtained. This is because by coating the surface of each magnetic powder with a surfactant, the conformability or wettability with the resin softened or melted by heating is greatly improved. Therefore, it is considered that the fluidity of the molten resin was improved. In such a case, it is more preferable to quickly bring the resin into a softened and molten state, so it is preferable to heat the resin at a relatively high temperature. For example, when a thermosetting resin is used, it may be formed by heating to a temperature higher than the curing point from the stage of magnetic field orientation.
- the uniform dispersibility of the R 1 FeB-based coarse powder in the ferrofluid layer is further improved, and a bonded magnet having high magnetic properties and high weather resistance can be obtained more stably.
- the “fluidity” referred to in the present specification relates to the filling property, lubricity, orientation, etc. of the RlFeB-based anisotropic magnet powder in the ferrofluid layer, and is more specific. Is related to the ease of movement such as rotation and the degree of freedom of posture.
- This fluidity can be indexed by the viscosity of the compound used, the shearing torque during molding of the bonded magnet, or the relative density of the pound magnet when molded under any molding pressure. .
- the relative density is used as an index of the liquidity. This is because the target permanent demagnetization rate can be measured with the sample whose relative density is measured.
- the relative density is the ratio of the density of the compact to the theoretical density determined from the mixing ratio of the raw materials.

- ⁇ indicates the relative density of Sample No. 26
- ⁇ indicates the relative density of Sample No. HI.
- a bonded magnet was formed using a compound obtained by heating and kneading a resin with NdFeB-based coarse powder and SmFeN-based fine powder to which a surfactant was added. This is the case.
- the relative density rapidly increases from the stage where the molding pressure is low.
- the molding pressure is about 198 MPa (2 ton Z cm 2 )
- the phase density almost reaches saturation.
- it can be performed at a very low molding pressure. That is, it exhibits excellent low-pressure moldability.
- This reduction in molding pressure not only improves productivity, but also further suppresses cracking of the RlFeB anisotropic magnet powder, and reduces the oxygen content due to the improved filling rate. It is also effective for improving weather resistance (permanent demagnetization rate). Furthermore, by raising the packing ratio to near the limit and improving the orientation by high fluidity, the magnetic properties represented by (BH) max can be improved to a very high level.
- Sample No. 23 ( ⁇ ) shows the case where each magnetic powder and resin were kneaded at room temperature and subjected to heating magnetic field molding.
- the rise of the relative density with respect to the molding pressure is slow, and low-pressure moldability as in the case of Sample No. 26 (A) cannot be obtained. Therefore, considerable high-pressure molding must be performed to obtain the desired bonded magnet.

- this ferrofluid layer is formed by dispersing R 2 Fe (N, B) -based fine powder in the resin, and surrounds the periphery of the R 1 Fe B-based coarse powder. Things.
- the function of the ferrofluid layer can be mainly divided into fluidity and uniform dispersion.
- the fluidity contributes to the improvement of the ease of rotation and the ease of attitude control of each magnet powder. Then, it increases the filling rate and orientation of the anisotropic magnet powder, and further acts to suppress cracking of the R 1 FeB-based coarse powder during molding. As described above, improving the filling rate and orientation improves (BH) max and the permanent demagnetization rate, and suppressing the cracking of the RlFeB-based coarse powder improves the permanent demagnetization rate.
- Uniform dispersibility contributes to shortening the moving distance of R 2 Fe (N, B) -based fine powder and resin during bond magnet molding and suppressing uneven distribution of R 2 Fe (N, B) -based fine powder. Both of these enhance the filling rate by filling the voids formed between the constituent particles of the R 1 F.e B-based coarse powder, and increase the (BH) max and the permanent demagnetization rate of the bonded magnet. Also, R 2 F e ( 04532

If the relative density is less than 94%, the fluidity is insufficient, and the ease of rotation and posture control of the R 1 Fe B coarse powder and the R 2 Fe (N, B) fine powder are low. For this reason, the filling property, orientation, and crack-preventing property during molding of the bonded magnet are also reduced, and a bonded magnet excellent in (BH) max and permanent demagnetization rate cannot be obtained.
- the upper limit of the relative density is set to 99% or less because it is the manufacturing limit at the mass production level.
- the relative density in the case where sufficient uniform dispersibility is imparted has a very high value of 95 to 99%. This is because by imparting uniform dispersibility, shortening the moving distance of R 2 Fe (N, B) -based fine powder and resin and preventing uneven distribution of R 2 Fe (N, B) -based fine powder, This is because the fluidity is increased and the filling rate and the effect of suppressing cracks are improved.

- Sample Nos. 21 to 24 use compounds obtained by kneading each magnetic powder and resin at room temperature. In this case, each magnetic powder and resin are only physically mixed, and the resin dispersibility in the compound is low. For this reason, the relative density is low and low pressure molding is difficult.
- Samples No. 25 and 26 used compounds obtained by heating and kneading each magnetic powder and resin to a temperature above the softening point. In this case, during the compound
- the uniform dispersibility of the SmFeN-based fine powder is good. Therefore, it can be seen that sufficient relative density and magnetic properties can be obtained even at the time of low-pressure molding, and that the low-pressure moldability suitable for mass production of bonded magnets is excellent. And, because of the high fluidity and uniform dispersibility of the ferromagnetic fluid layer, the filling rate under the same molding pressure is higher. As a result, it is possible to obtain not only an improvement in gas characteristics but also an improvement in weather resistance due to elimination of oxygen.
