- a technique capable of further improving the magnetic characteristics of a sintered magnet used in a drive motor is required.
- an RTB-based rare earth sintered magnet As a sintered magnet having high magnetic properties, an RTB-based rare earth sintered magnet has been conventionally used. This RTB-based sintered magnet has been attempted to improve the magnetic characteristics by using heavy rare earth metals such as Dy and Tb having a large anisotropic magnetic field HA . However, with the recent rise in prices of rare earth metal raw materials, it is strongly desired to reduce the amount of expensive heavy rare earth elements used. Under such circumstances, attempts have been made to improve the magnetic properties by refining the structure of the RTB-based sintered magnet.
- the RTB-based sintered magnet is manufactured by a powder metallurgy method.
- the manufacturing method by the powder metallurgy method first, the raw material is melted and cast to obtain an alloy flake containing an RTB-based alloy. Next, the alloy flakes are pulverized to prepare an alloy powder having a particle size of several ⁇ m to several tens of ⁇ m. Next, this alloy powder is molded and sintered to produce a sintered body. Thereafter, the obtained sintered body is processed into a predetermined dimension. In order to improve corrosion resistance, the sintered body may be plated as necessary to form a plating layer. In this way, an RTB-based sintered magnet can be obtained.
- the strip casting method is a method of preparing alloy flakes by cooling a molten alloy with a cooling roll.
- an attempt has been made to control the alloy structure by adjusting the cooling rate in the above-described strip casting method.

- the coercive force can be improved by increasing ⁇ in the above formula (I). From this fact, the coercive force can be improved by controlling the structure of the alloy powder used in the compact for sintered magnets. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of resource constraints and manufacturing cost, there is a demand for an RTB-based sintered magnet that can realize high magnetic properties without using heavy rare earth elements.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an RTB-based sintered magnet having a sufficiently excellent coercive force without using an expensive and rare heavy rare earth element, and its production It aims to provide a method.
- the present inventors have made various studies focusing on the structure of the alloy flakes in order to improve the magnetic properties of the RTB-based sintered magnet. As a result, by miniaturizing the structure of the alloy flakes and improving the uniformity, the final structure of the RTB-based sintered magnet is refined and segregation of the R-rich phase is suppressed. Thus, it has been found that high magnetic properties can be stably obtained.
- the present invention relates to an RTB system containing particles containing an R 2 T 14 B phase obtained by using an RTB alloy flake containing R 2 T 14 B phase crystal grains.
- the RTB-based alloy flakes have crystal grains extending radially from crystal nuclei in a cross section along the thickness direction, and one of the crystal grains in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction.
- RTB-based sintered magnet having an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 5 ⁇ m of particles containing the R 2 T 14 B phase in the B-based sintered magnet and substantially free of heavy rare earth elements.
- R represents a light rare earth element
- T represents a transition element
- B represents boron.
- the RTB-based sintered magnet of the present invention uses an RTB-based alloy flake having the following structure as a raw material. That is, the shape of the R 2 T 14 B phase crystal grains contained in the RTB-based alloy flakes does not expand in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the RTB-based alloy flakes. Variations in shape and width are sufficiently reduced. Usually, when the RTB-based alloy flakes are pulverized, the grain boundary phase such as the R-rich phase at the grain boundary of the R 2 T 14 B phase crystal grains is preferentially broken. For this reason, the shape of the alloy powder depends on the shape of the R 2 T 14 B phase crystal grains.
- the crystal grains of the R 2 T 14 B phase in the RTB-based alloy flakes of the present invention have sufficiently reduced variations in shape and width.
- a TB alloy powder is obtained. Therefore, by using such an RTB-based alloy flake, it is possible to obtain an RTB-based sintered magnet in which segregation of the R-rich phase is suppressed and the uniformity of the microstructure is improved. it can.
- the present invention does not adopt a control method of simply refining the R 2 T 14 B phase crystal grains contained in the RTB-based alloy flakes, but the size of the R 2 T 14 B phase crystal grains.

And / or (3) is preferably satisfied. 1.0 ⁇ m ⁇ D AVE ⁇ 3.0 ⁇ m (2) 1.5 ⁇ m ⁇ D MAX ⁇ 4.5 ⁇ m (3)
- Such RTB-based alloy flakes are fine and uniform in shape and size because the width of crystal grains of the R 2 T 14 B phase is sufficiently small and the variation in shape is sufficiently reduced.
- RTB-based alloy powder having sufficiently improved properties can be obtained. This further improves the uniformity of the microstructure of the finally obtained RTB-based sintered magnet. Therefore, the coercive force of the RTB-based sintered magnet can be further improved.
- the RTB-based alloy flakes of the present invention contain an R-rich phase in which the R content is higher than the R 2 T 14 B phase on a mass basis.
- the ratio of the number of R-rich phases having a length in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of 1.5 ⁇ m or less is preferably 90% or more.
- the R-rich phase is a phase having a higher content on the mass basis of R than the R 2 T 14 B phase.
- the crystal grains in the RTB-based alloy flakes described above are dendritic crystals, and the average width of the dendritic crystals is 60 ⁇ m or less on at least one surface of the RTB-based alloy flakes.
- the number of crystal nuclei of the shaped crystal is preferably 500 or more per 1 mm square.
- This RTB-based alloy flake has a predetermined number or more of crystal nuclei per unit area on at least one surface.
- Such dendrite-like crystals are suppressed from growing in the plane direction of the RTB-based alloy flakes. For this reason, the R 2 T 14 B phase grows in a columnar shape in the thickness direction.
- An R-rich phase is generated around the R 2 T 14 B phase grown in a columnar shape, and this R-rich phase is preferentially broken during pulverization. Therefore, when the RTB-based alloy flakes having such a structure are pulverized, an alloy powder in a uniformly dispersed state can be obtained without segregating the R-rich phase as compared with the prior art. Therefore, by firing such an alloy powder, it is possible to obtain an RTB-based sintered magnet having a high coercive force by suppressing aggregation of R-rich phase and abnormal grain growth of crystal grains.
- the present invention also provides a method for producing an RTB-based sintered magnet including particles containing an R 2 T 14 B phase, which includes a step of pulverizing, forming, and firing an RTB-based alloy flake.
- the RTB-based alloy flakes in the cross section along the thickness direction, crystal grains extend radially from the crystal nucleus, and the length of one surface side of the crystal grains in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction is long.
- the average value of the thickness and the average value of the length on the other surface side opposite to the surface are D 1 and D 2 respectively, the following formula (1) is satisfied, and the average particle size of the particles is 0.
- RTB-based sintered magnet having a thickness of 5 to 5 ⁇ m and substantially free of heavy rare earth elements.
- R represents a light rare earth element
- T represents a transition element
- B represents boron.
- an RTB-based alloy flake having the following structure is used as a raw material. That is, in the RTB alloy flakes, the shape of the R 2 T 14 B phase crystal grains does not expand in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the RTB alloy flakes. In addition, the variation in width is sufficiently reduced. For this reason, RTB-based alloy powder with sufficiently reduced variation in shape and size can be obtained. By using such an RTB-based alloy powder, segregation of the R-rich phase is suppressed, the homogeneity of the microstructure is improved, and the RTB-based firing having a sufficiently high coercive force is achieved. A magnet can be obtained.

溶融工程では、例えば、希土類金属や希土類合金、純鉄、フェロボロン、及びこれらの合金の少なくとも一種を含み、重希土類元素を含まない原料を、高周波溶解炉に導入する。高周波溶解炉では、原料を1300~1500℃に加熱して合金溶湯を調製する。
図4は、ストリップキャスト法の冷却工程に用いる装置の模式図である。冷却工程では、高周波溶解炉10で調製された合金溶湯12をタンディッシュ14に移送する。その後、タンディッシュ14から、矢印Aの方向に所定の速度で回転している冷却ロール16のロール面上に合金溶湯を注ぐ。合金溶湯12は冷却ロール16のロール面17に接触し、熱交換によって抜熱される。合金溶湯12の冷却に伴って、合金溶湯12には、結晶核が生成し合金溶湯12の少なくとも一部が凝固する。例えば、R2T14B相(溶解温度1100℃程度)がまず生成し、その後、Rリッチ相(溶解温度700℃程度)の少なくとも一部が凝固する。これらの結晶析出は、合金溶湯12が接触するロール面17の構造に影響される。冷却ロール16のロール面17には、網目状の凹部と該凹部で形成された凸部とからなる凹凸模様が形成されたものを用いることが好ましい。
粉砕工程における粉砕方法は特に限定されない。粉砕は、例えば粗粉砕及び微粉砕の順番で行ってもよい。粗粉砕は、例えば、スタンプミル、ジョークラッシャー、ブラウンミル等を用いて、不活性ガス雰囲気中で行うことが好ましい。また、水素を吸蔵させた後、粉砕を行う水素吸蔵粉砕を行ってもよい。粗粉砕によって、粒径が数百μm程度である合金粉末を調製することができる。次に、粗粉砕で調製した合金粉末を、ジェットミル等を用いて、例えば平均粒径が1~5μmとなるまで微粉砕する。なお、合金薄片の粉砕は、必ずしも粗粉砕と微粉砕との2段階で行なう必要はなく、1段階で行ってもよい。
成形工程では、合金粉末を磁場中で成形して成形体を得る。具体的には、まず、合金粉末を電磁石中に配置された金型内に充填する。その後、電磁石により磁場を印加して合金粉末の結晶軸を配向させながら合金粉末を加圧する。このようにして磁場中で成形を行って成形体を作製する。この磁場中成形は、例えば、12.0~17.0kOeの磁場中、0.7~1.5トン/cm2程度の圧力で行えばよい。
焼成工程では、磁場中成形によって得られた成形体を、真空又は不活性ガス雰囲気中で焼成して焼結体を得る。焼成条件は、組成、粉砕方法、粒度等の条件に応じて適宜設定することが好ましい。例えば、焼成温度を1000~1100℃、焼成時間を1~5時間とすることができる。
<合金薄片の作製>
図4に示すような合金薄片の製造装置を用いて、次の手順でストリップキャスト法を行った。まず、合金薄片の組成が表1に示す元素の割合(質量%)となるように、各構成元素の原料化合物を配合し、高周波溶解炉10で1300℃に加熱して、R-T-B系の組成を有する合金溶湯12を調製した。この合金溶湯12を、タンディッシュを介して所定の速度で回転している冷却ロール16のロール面17上に注いだ。ロール面17上における合金溶湯12の冷却速度は、1800~2200℃/秒とした。
得られた合金薄片の厚さ方向に沿った断面のSEM-BEI画像を撮影した(倍率:350倍)。この画像から、合金薄片の厚みを求めた。この厚みは、表2に示すとおりであった。
次に、合金薄片を粉砕して平均粒径が2.3~2.6μmの合金粉末を得た。この合金粉末を、電磁石中に配置された金型内に充填し、磁場中で成形して成形体を作製した。成形は、15kOeの磁場を印加しながら1.2トン/cm2に加圧して行った。その後、成形体を、真空中、930~1030℃で4時間焼成した後、急冷して焼結体を得た。得られた焼結体に、800℃で1時間、及び、540℃で1時間(ともにアルゴンガス雰囲気中)の2段階の時効処理を施して、実施例1のR-T-B系焼結磁石を得た。
B-Hトレーサーを用いて、得られたR-T-B系焼結磁石のBr(残留磁束密度)及びHcJ(保磁力)を測定した。測定結果を表3に示す。また、R-T-B系焼結磁石におけるR2T14B相を含む粒子の平均粒径を求めた。具体的には、R-T-B系焼結磁石の切断面を研磨した後、金属顕微鏡を用いて研磨した面の画像観察(倍率:1600倍)を行った。そして、画像処理を行って、個々の粒子の粒径を測定し、測定値の算術平均値を平均粒径とした。平均粒径の値を表3に示す。
