- the most common method is to use finely pulverized powder with a reduced particle size.

- the pulverized particle size is 3 ⁇ m or more, preferably 4 ⁇ m or more.
- argon that does not react with R may be used as the pulverization gas.
- finely pulverized powder finely pulverized to an average particle size of less than 2 ⁇ m is used, a larger HcJ can be expected.

- the thickness of the coating layer is not particularly limited, but the thickness is preferably such that it does not easily react and dissolve in sintering or remain unreacted.
- elements contained in the components of the coating layer carbon, nitrogen and the like are likely to be deteriorated in magnetic properties as impurities in the structure of the RTB-based sintered magnet, and if excessive boron is present, Fe 2 B is present at the grain boundary. For example, a soft magnetic phase or a non-magnetic phase is formed, leading to deterioration of magnetic properties. Therefore, it is preferable to avoid forming an excessively thick coating layer.
- the thickness of the coating layer is sufficient if a layer having a thickness of 100 nm to less than 1 ⁇ m can be formed, depending on the components used.
- the mixed powder of the raw material alloy is formed in a magnetic field.

- the rate of temperature rise is preferably 8 to 20 ° C./min. If it is slower than this, diffusion of the additive compound powder into the main phase of HR may proceed excessively, and there is a possibility that the reduction of Br becomes remarkable.
- the maintenance time is preferably 60 minutes or less, and if it is longer than this, abnormal grain growth is promoted, and the HcJ decrease becomes remarkable.
- very fine main phase particles of sub-nano size are taken into large main phase particles by dissolution and re-precipitation.
- the average particle size of the main phase particles may be considered to be approximately the same as the average particle size of the finely pulverized powder used.
- an aging treatment is performed in which the obtained sintered body is heat-treated at a temperature lower than the sintering temperature.
- the aging treatment is performed in vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere at 430 to 630 ° C. for about 30 to 180 minutes.

- FIG. ⁇ Comparative Example 1> The raw material alloys having the compositions of B and D in Table 1 were subjected to pulverization in the same manner as in Example 1 and evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1 without adding an alloy compound containing Dy having the composition of G in Table 1. A sample was prepared.
- Example 2 The raw material alloys having the compositions A and D in Table 1 were subjected to fine pulverization in the same manner as in Example 1. After the compound of the alloy containing Dy having the G composition in Table 1 was pulverized in the same manner as in Example 1, c- A BN coating was not formed, but was added to the finely pulverized powder of the raw material alloy at 0.25 mass%, and mixing was performed using a small Nauta mixer. The obtained mixed powder produced an evaluation sample in the same manner as in Example 1.
- Example 5 The raw material alloys having the compositions A and D in Table 1 were subjected to fine pulverization in the same manner as in Example 5. After pulverizing the alloy compound containing Dy having the G composition in Table 1 in the same manner as in Example 5, c- A BN coating was not formed, but was added to the finely pulverized powder of the raw material alloy at 0.25 mass%, and mixing was performed using a small Nauta mixer. The obtained mixed powder produced an evaluation sample in the same manner as in Example 5.
- Example 6 The raw material alloys having the compositions A and D in Table 1 were subjected to fine pulverization in the same manner as in Example 6, and the alloy compound containing Dy having the G composition in Table 1 was pulverized in the same manner as in Example 6. A BN coating was not formed, but was added to the finely pulverized powder of the raw material alloy at 0.25 mass%, and mixing was performed using a small Nauta mixer. The obtained mixed powder produced an evaluation sample in the same manner as in Example 6.
- Example 1 and Example 2 have significantly improved HcJ over Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 4 each containing substantially the same amount of Dy. That is, the Dy content required for obtaining the same HcJ can be greatly reduced according to the present invention.
- 2 and FIG. 3 are HcJ and Br when no additive compound is added to the finely pulverized powder of the raw material alloy of Example 1.
- Comparative Example 2 the same amount as in Example 1 was added to the finely pulverized powder of the raw material alloy without forming the c-BN coating in the additive compound powder having the composition of G in Table 1. Comparative Example 1 Higher HcJ is obtained. However, it was 144 kA / m lower than HcJ of Example 1 and the c-BN coating layer was not formed on the surface of the additive compound powder, so that the additive compound easily reacted with the R-rich liquid phase during the sintering process. Dy substitution proceeds deeply into the core portion of the main phase particle, and the effects of the present invention are not sufficiently obtained.
- Example 1 has almost the same Br as that of Comparative Example 1 containing substantially the same amount Dy, and Example 2 also has almost the same amount of Comparative Example 4 containing almost the same amount Dy. It is shown that HcJ is greatly improved while maintaining Br according to the present invention.
- HcJ is 149 kA / m larger and Br is substantially equivalent to Comparative Example 3 in which substantially the same amount of Dy and approximately the same amounts of Co and Cu are added.
- HcJ can be improved by additive elements such as Co and Cu, it has been shown that the improvement of HcJ according to the present invention is remarkable even if the HcJ improvement by Co and Cu is subtracted.
- FIG. 4 shows quantitative amounts of Dy and Nd in the direction from the two-particle grain boundary to the main phase particle by STEM-EDS in Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3, and shows the main phase from the grain boundary interface.
- the largest Dy substitution range within the particles is confirmed to be about 100 nm in Example 2, the Dy concentration is also the highest, and the Dy substitution range and its concentration are increased by the addition amount of the added compound. Indicates.
- the Dy substitution range of Example 3 is approximately 75 nm, but the Dy concentration is smaller than Example 2. This seems to indicate that Dy substitution in the main phase is suppressed by the presence of Dy in the main phase particles in advance.
- Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, the concentration distributions of Dy and Nd in the direction from the two-grain boundary to the main phase particle by STEM-EDS were examined. In Comparative Example 3, the clear concentration difference of Dy could not be confirmed as the Dy substitution range was clearly divided. In Comparative Example 2, although the Dy concentration difference was small but the Dy replacement range could be determined, the maximum width was 1280 nm, which is considerably wider than that of the example. Similarly, the Dy substitution range could also be determined in Comparative Example 4, but the maximum width was 2120 nm, which was found to be wider than that of Comparative Example 2.
- Example 2 when the Dy replacement range of Example 2 and Example 3 is taken as the maximum shell portion width, and the minimum value to the maximum value of x in the maximum shell portion width are estimated, 0.09 is obtained in Example 2. It was ⁇ 0.40, and in Example 3, it was 0.13 to 0.18. Further, when the core portion is a range where the Nd concentration distribution is almost constant compared to the shell portion, and the minimum value to the maximum value of x in the core portion are estimated, 0.03 in Example 3, 0.05 to 0.07.
- Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, as in Example 2 and Example 3, the minimum and maximum values of x in the shell portion and the core portion were estimated.
- the shell portion was not clearly discriminated. Therefore, assuming that the shell portion was 1000 nm, the minimum value to the maximum value of x of the shell portion and the core portion were estimated.
- the minimum value to the maximum value of x of the shell part are 0.01 to 0.02 in Comparative Example 1, 0.03 to 0.05 in Comparative Example 2, 0.01 to 0.02 in Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4 became 0.06 to 0.11.
- the minimum value to the maximum value of x of the core portion are 0.01 to 0.02 in Comparative Example 1, 0.01 to 0.03 in Comparative Example 2, 0.00 to 0.02 in Comparative Example 3, and Example 4 was 0.04 to 0.007.
- Example 1 Dy has a high concentration at the grain boundary, but STEM-EDS has not yet clarified the Dy substitution range in the main phase particles. Therefore, an atom probe analysis that can be quantified with higher resolution was performed. As for other examples, atom probe analysis was performed for the case where the Dy substitution range could not be clarified by STEM-EDS.
- FIG. 5 shows the quantitative values of Dy and Nd in the vicinity of the two-particle grain boundary by the atom probe analysis of Example 1.
- the Dy concentration becomes maximum at the interface between the main phase particle and the grain boundary phase, and the higher the Dy concentration is. Since the Nd concentration is reduced, it is shown that the Dy substitution range in the main phase particles is 7 nm at the minimum.
- the reason why HcJ is improved by Dy substitution is that nucleation of reverse magnetic domains is suppressed by an anisotropic magnetic field having high Dy, but the effect is also achieved in the Dy substitution range of 7 nm in Example 1. High HcJ is obtained by acting greatly.
- the Dy replacement range confirmed by the atom probe analysis is taken as the maximum shell portion width, and the minimum value to the maximum value of x in the maximum shell portion width are estimated.
- the core portion is a range where the Nd concentration distribution is substantially constant compared to the shell portion, and the minimum value to the maximum value of x in the core portion are estimated, 0.01.
- the particle size of the finely pulverized powder is about 2 ⁇ m and about 3 ⁇ m, respectively, and the finely pulverized powder is made finer than in Example 4, and an alloy containing Dy is added thereto as in Example 4. is doing.
- the main phase particle diameter in the fine sintered structure is almost similar to that, and the maximum thickness of the shell portion of the main phase particles is almost the same. Therefore, in the finer example 5, the core portion volume ratio of the main phase particles is smaller, and Br is low as the magnetic properties, but HcJ is greatly improved, and the effect of the invention appears. .
- Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 6 since the c-BN coating was not applied to the finely pulverized powder of the alloy containing Dy added in Example 5 and Example 6, A large amount of Dy is taken in to form a thick shell portion, and Br is greatly reduced as compared with the case where the material is made of only the raw material alloy, but HcJ is not improved as much as Example 5 and Example 6.
- Example 5 although it is not a big problem as a magnetic characteristic, the fall of Br is a little large compared with the case of only a raw material alloy, and in order to improve HcJ while maintaining Br high enough, it is a main phase.
- the core volume ratio of the particles is preferably 90% or more.
- Example 7 the B content was reduced to 0.72, and the HcJ was as small as 892 kA / m. This is because the HcJ when made of only the raw material alloy was as small as 413 kA / m. The addition of an alloy containing is improved by 479 kA / m, and the effect of the present invention is obtained.
- the original HcJ based only on the raw material alloy is also necessary to some extent, and reducing the B content too much as in Example 7 forms a soft magnetic phase containing Fe. Since it leads to HcJ becoming low, it is preferable that B content shall be 0.75 mass% or more.
- Example 8 the sample was prepared using all the Nd of the raw material alloy of Example 1, and in Example 9, the raw material alloy in which a part of Nd was replaced with Pr was used, but only Nd was used.
- the effect by this invention is acquired similarly to Example 1.
- Example 10 samples were prepared using all of Dy of the alloy containing Dy used in Example 1, and in Example 11, an alloy in which half was substituted with Tb. HcJ is greatly improved over the addition of. This is because, when LR such as Nd constituting the main phase is replaced with Tb, the anisotropic magnetic field that greatly affects HcJ is larger than when it is replaced with Dy.
- Table 4 shows the content ratios of R amount (Nd + Dy), T amount (Fe + Co), Cu, and Al at the grain boundary of Example 1, Example 7, and Example 12.
- Example 12 a sample was prepared using an alloy in which a part of Dy of the alloy containing Dy used in Example 1 was replaced with Al. However, HcJ was greatly improved as compared with Example 1. Yes. From the atom probe analysis, in the grain boundary phase of the two-grain grain boundary of Example 12, the R amount combining Nd and Dy is 20.36 at%, the T amount combining Fe and Co is 73.51 at%, and Cu is 0.00. 93 at% and Al were 0.12 at%.
- Example 1 in which Al was not included in the alloy containing Dy, the rare earth combined with Nd and Dy was 17.87 at%, the T amount combined with Fe and Co was 77.15 at%, and Cu was 0. .71 at% and Al was 0.05 at%. From this, it can be considered that the improvement in HcJ in Example 12 was greater than that in Example 1 because Al that was effective in improving HcJ was added and existed at the grain boundary.
- Example 7 when an atom probe analysis of the two-grain grain boundary was performed on Example 7, the R amount combining Nd and Dy was 7.39 at%, the T amount combining Fe and Co was 91.01 at%, and Cu was 0 .80 at%, Al is 0.02 at%, the R amount is small, and the T amount is large. From this, in Example 7, the B content was excessively reduced, so that an excess of Fe or Co not forming the main phase was formed, and R and a soft magnetic phase were formed in the grain boundary phase, and the original HcJ Is considered to be a small result. However, also in Example 7, the effect of improving HcJ by the present invention appears.
- R (where R is one or more of Y (yttrium) and rare earth elements) is 10 to 30 at% at the two-grain boundary of the sintered body, and T (Fe Or one or more transition metals essentially containing Fe and Co) is 65 to 85 at%, Cu is 0.70 to 4.0 at%, Al is 0.07 to 2.0 at%, Preferably there is.
- Reference Example 7 has a larger amount of Co, Cu, and Al added from the raw material alloy than Comparative Examples 3 and 4, and the composition and structure are substantially the same except that Co, Cu, and Al are not included.
- HcJ is high.
- Example 13 in which an alloy having the composition of G in Table 1 was added to Reference Example 7, HcJ was improved while suppressing a decrease in Br as in the other Examples, but G in Table 1 was added to Reference Example 1.
- the improvement of HcJ as great as that of Example 1 to which an alloy having the composition was added was not obtained. The reason why the improvement in HcJ is slightly small in Example 13 cannot be determined.
- the improvement of HcJ by Dy is much more effective than simply including Dy from the raw material alloy, and is a sufficiently practical technique. From this, the upper limit of the contents of Co, Cu, and Al is 1.10 mass% for Co, 0.18 mass% for Cu, and 0.40 mass% for Al.
- an RTB-based sintered magnet having a significantly improved HcJ can be obtained with a small Dy content, and further, when maintaining the conventional magnetic properties, the Dy content is greatly reduced.
- an RTB-based sintered magnet can be obtained.
- the present invention can provide an RTB-based sintered magnet in which the amount of heavy rare earth elements is reduced while maintaining high magnetic properties.

Abstract
Description
好ましくは、前記主相粒子の2粒子粒界の粒界相において、R(RはY(イットリウム)および希土類元素の1種又は2種以上)が10~30at%であり、T(Fe又はFe及びCoを必須とする1種又は2種以上の遷移金属)が65~85at%であって、Cuが0.70~4.0at%、Alが0.07~2.0at%、である。
また、より好ましくは、前記LRはNdまたは/およびPrであり、HRはDyまたは/およびTbである。
また、より好ましくは、前記主相粒子全体に占めるコア部の体積比率が90.0%以上である。
また、より好ましくは前記R-T-B系焼結磁石の組成は、LRが29.4~31.5mass%、HRが0.15~0.65mass%、Alが0.03~0.40mass%、Coが0.03~1.10mass%、Cuが0.03~0.18mass%、Bが0.75~1.25mass%、残部がFeである。
本発明のR-T-B系焼結磁石は、主相LR(2-x)HRxT14B(LR:Ndを必須とし、Y、La、Ce、Pr、Smの1種または2種以上を含む軽希土類元素、HR:Dyまたは/およびTbを必須とし、Gd、Ho、Er、Tm、Yb,Luの1種または2種以上を含む重希土類元素、T:Feまたは/およびCoを必須とし、Mn、Niの1種または2種を含む、B:(ホウ素、一部C(炭素)で置換されているものを含む))を主相とする主相粒子と、R(RはY(イットリウム)および希土類元素の1種又は2種以上)、およびT(TはFe又はFe及びCoを必須とする1種又は2種以上)を主組成とする粒界相とから構成される。さらに、主相粒子は、主相LR(2-x)HRxT14Bがx=0.00~0.07の範囲であるコア部と、主相LR(2-x)HRxT14Bがx=0.02~0.40の範囲であるシェル部から形成された構造をもつ。
図1はコア部2とシェル部3をもつ本発明の主相粒子1の模式図を示している。このコア部2はシェル部3に比べHR濃度が低い。シェル部の最大厚み4は、観察した主相粒子1のシェル部において最大の厚みをとる。
本発明のR-T-B系焼結磁石において、主相粒子のコア部の主相LR(2-x)HRxT14Bのxは、好ましくは、0.00~0.02であり、主相粒子のシェル部の主相LR(2-x)HRxT14Bのxは、好ましくは0.20~0.40の範囲である。本発明のR-T-B系焼結磁石において、主相粒子のコア部のHR量を少なくすることでBrを高く維持でき、シェル部のHR量を多くすることでHcJを大きく向上することができるが、主相粒子のコア部の主相LR(2-x)HRxT14Bのxが0.00~0.02であると、解析の誤差を含めて、コア部にHRが含まれておらず、Brを十分に高くすることができ、主相粒子のシェル部の主相LR(2-x)HRxT14Bのxが0.20~0.40であると、シェル部にHRを多く含ませた状態にでき、HcJの向上が大きくできる。
前記2粒子粒界の粒界相は、粒界相のうち、隣り合う2つの主相粒子の間に存在し、RならびにTを主組成とする相、および組成によっては針状や板状の析出物を有する、幅数nm程度の領域で、粒界3重点とは区別される。
本発明のR-T-B系焼結磁石は、好適には原料合金が1種類の1合金法、および原料合金が2種類の2合金法において、前記原料合金とは別に準備された、HRを含有し、表面を高融点成分によりコーティングされた化合物粉を、原料合金の微粉砕粉にごく少量添加して成形体を作製し、前記成形体の焼結工程において、原料合金の微粉砕粉のみでの焼結に対し、高温でごく短時間の焼結過程を、冷却を挟まずに行うことで得られる。
添加する添加化合物粉は、HRを25.0mass%以上で含有することが必須とする。HRの含有量が25.0mass%よりも少な過ぎると、十分なHcJ向上の効果が得られなかったり、R-T-B系焼結磁石の焼結において緻密化を阻害する成分や、磁気特性、特にHcJを低下させる成分の影響が顕著になる。HRを含有する化合物として、HR単体、ハロゲン化物、水素化物、合金などが利用できる。
コーティング層に使用する高融点成分としては、焼結において容易に溶解しない程度の融点が必要となる。また、焼結中に発生するRリッチな液相成分との濡れ性が低い層であれば、添加化合物の反応開始を焼結温度により制御し易くなるので好ましい。コーティング層の例としては、炭化ホウ素、窒化ホウ素、炭化ケイ素、窒化ケイ素、窒化アルミニウム、窒化チタン、ホウ化ジルコニウム、ホウ化ハフニウム、炭化タングステンなどがある。コーティングの方法としてはPVD、CVD、蒸着法、HR化合物表面に化学反応を利用して形成するなど、使用するコーティング層の成分に適したコーティング方法を選択すればよい。
また、コーティング層の厚みに特に制限はないが、焼結において容易に反応して溶解したり、あるいは反応し切らないまま残ることがない程度の厚みがよい。コーティング層の成分に含まれる元素について、炭素、窒素などはR-T-B系焼結磁石の組織においては不純物として磁気特性の低下につながりやすく、ホウ素も過剰に存在すると粒界にFe2Bなど軟磁性相あるいは非磁性相を形成して磁気特性の低下につながる。そのため、過剰に厚いコーティング層を形成することは避けることが好ましい。使用する成分により変わるが、コーティング層の厚みとしては100nm~1μm未満の層が形成できれば十分である。
この高温過程により、前記適正な焼結温度では反応が抑制されていた高融点成分にコーティングされた添加化合物粉と、Rリッチな液相成分との反応を促進させ、主相粒子の粒界近傍で主相のLRをHRで置換させる。この高温過程の温度は、多数の成形体を焼結する場合の均熱と添加化合物粉からのHR放出のバランスを考慮し、前記適正な焼結温度に対し40℃~80℃高い温度範囲とすることが好ましい。
昇温速度は8~20℃/分が好ましく、これより遅い場合は添加化合物粉のHRの主相内への拡散が進行し過ぎてBr低下が顕著になる恐れがある。また、昇温速度がこれより速い場合は、均熱がとりにくくなって、磁石表面での異常粒成長が急速に促進され、1つの焼結体内および焼結炉内の位置が異なる焼結体でHcJのばらつきが無視できなくなり、磁気特性および生産安定性を悪化させる恐れがある。また、維持時間は60分以下が好ましく、これより長時間となると異常粒成長が促進してHcJ低下が顕著となる。焼結過程でサブナノサイズのきわめて微細な主相粒子が溶解-再析出によって大きな主相粒子に取り込まれて無くなるが、ジェットミルで粉砕した微粉砕粉の粒度分布では少ない存在量なので、過剰な粒成長が起きない適切な焼結条件で作製した焼結体では主相粒子の平均粒径は使用した微粉砕粉の平均粒径とほぼ同じ大きさと考えてよい。
表1のAとDの組成の原料合金を、ストリップキャストにて作製した。
作製した原料合金Aと原料合金Dを混合比0.95/0.05で混合し、室温にて90分間の水素吸蔵をさせた後、アルゴンガス雰囲気中で650℃×60分の脱水素処理を施して粗粉砕を行った。

前記コーティングした化合物粉を、前記原料合金の微粉砕粉へ0.25mass%で添加し、小型のナウタミキサーにて混合を行った。
次に、化合物粉と混合した微粉砕粉を、窒素ガス雰囲気中にて、15kOe(1200kA/m)の磁場中で1.5tonf/cm2(150MPa)の圧力で成形して成形体を得た。
続いて、得られた焼結体を、大気圧アルゴンガス雰囲気中にて780℃/90分の熱処理(1段目時効処理)を行い、冷却後、大気圧アルゴンガス雰囲気中にて540℃/90分の熱処理(2段目時効処理)を行い、評価試料を作製した。
表1のAとDの組成の原料合金を、実施例1と同様に微粉砕まで行い、表1のGの組成のDyを含む合金の化合物を、実施例1と同様に準備し、原料合金の微粉砕粉へ0.80mass%で添加し、実施例1と同様に評価試料を作製した。

表1のBとDの組成の原料合金を、実施例1と同様に微粉砕まで行い、表1のGの組成を含む合金の化合物を、実施例1と同様に準備し、原料合金の微粉砕粉へ0.40mass%で添加し、実施例1と同様に評価試料を作製した。
表1のAとDの組成の原料合金を、実施例1と同様に粗粉砕まで行い、粉砕助剤としてオレイン酸アミドを0.10mass%添加して、高圧アルゴンガスを用いたジェットミルによる微粉砕を行い、平均粒径2.0μmの微粉砕粉を得た。
続いて、得られた焼結体を、大気圧アルゴンガス雰囲気中にて780℃/90分の熱処理(1段目時効処理)を行い、冷却後、大気圧アルゴンガス雰囲気中にて540℃/90分の熱処理(2段目時効処理)を行い、評価試料を作製した。

<比較例1>
表1のBとDの組成の原料合金を、実施例1と同様に微粉砕まで行い、表1のGの組成のDyを含む合金の化合物を添加せずに、実施例1と同様に評価試料を作製した。
表1のAとDの組成の原料合金を、実施例1と同様に微粉砕まで行い、表1のGの組成のDyを含む合金の化合物を実施例1と同様に粉砕した後、c-BNのコーティングは形成せずに、前記原料合金の微粉砕粉へ0.25mass%で添加し、小型のナウタミキサーにて混合を行った。得られた混合粉は、実施例1と同様に評価試料を作製した。
表1のBとEの組成の原料合金を、実施例1と同様に微粉砕まで行い、表1のGの組成のDyを含む合金の化合物を添加せずに、実施例1と同様に評価試料を作製した。
表1のCとEの組成の原料合金を、実施例1と同様に微粉砕まで行い、表1のGの組成のDyを含む合金の化合物を添加せずに、実施例1と同様に評価試料を作製した。
表1のAとDの組成の原料合金を、実施例5と同様に微粉砕まで行い、表1のGの組成のDyを含む合金の化合物を実施例5と同様に粉砕した後、c-BNのコーティングは形成せずに、前記原料合金の微粉砕粉へ0.25mass%で添加し、小型のナウタミキサーにて混合を行った。得られた混合粉は、実施例5と同様に評価試料を作製した。
表1のAとDの組成の原料合金を、実施例6と同様に微粉砕まで行い、表1のGの組成のDyを含む合金の化合物を実施例6と同様に粉砕した後、c-BNのコーティングは形成せずに、前記原料合金の微粉砕粉へ0.25mass%で添加し、小型のナウタミキサーにて混合を行った。得られた混合粉は、実施例6と同様に評価試料を作製した。
また、実施例1~3および比較例1~4のHcJをDy含有量に対する変化として図2に、実施例1~3および比較例1~4のBrをDy含有量に対する変化として図3に示した。
実施例3のDy置換範囲は、およそ75nmであるが、Dy濃度は実施例2より小さい。これは、主相粒子内にあらかじめDyが存在することで、主相のDy置換が抑制されていることを示すと思われる。
また、Ndの濃度分布が、シェル部に比べほぼ一定となっている範囲をコア部ととり、そのコア部の中でxの最小値~最大値を見積もると、実施例2では0.00~0.03、実施例3では0.05~0.07であった。
シェル部のxの最小値~最大値は、比較例1が0.01~0.02、比較例2が0.03~0.05、比較例3が0.01~0.02、比較例4が0.06~0.11となった。またコア部のxの最小値~最大値は、比較例1が0.01~0.02、比較例2が0.01~0.03、比較例3が0.00~0.02、比較例4が0.04~0.0.07となった。
Dy置換によりHcJが向上されるのは、Dyの高い異方性磁界によって逆磁区の核形成が抑制されるためであるとされるが、実施例1における7nmのDy置換範囲でも、その効果が大きく作用して高いHcJが得られている。
一方、比較例5および比較例6は、実施例5および実施例6で添加したDyを含有する合金の微粉砕粉にc-BNコーティングを施していないため、焼結過程において主相粒子中にDyが多量に取り込まれて厚いシェル部が形成されており、原料合金のみより作製した場合よりBrが大きく低下しているが、HcJが実施例5および実施例6ほど大きくは向上していない。
しかしながら、実施例5において、磁気特性としては大きな問題ではないが、原料合金のみの場合に対しBrの低下がやや大きくなっており、Brも十分に高く維持しながらHcJを向上させる上では主相粒子のコア部体積割合を90%以上とすることが好ましい。
しかしながら、製品として適するHcJを得る上では原料合金のみによるもともとのHcJもある程度必要であるといえ、実施例7のようにB含有量を少なくし過ぎることはFeを含む軟磁性相を形成してHcJが低くなることにつながるため、B含有量は0.75mass%以上とすることが好ましい。
また、実施例7について2粒子粒界のアトムプローブ解析を行ったところ、NdとDyを合わせたR量が7.39at%、FeとCoを合わせたT量が91.01at%、Cuが0.80at%、Alが0.02at%で、R量が少なくなり、T量が多く存在している。このことから、実施例7ではB含有量を過剰に少なくしているため主相を組まないFeやCoの余剰ができて粒界相においてRと軟磁性相を形成してしまい、もともとのHcJが小さい結果となっていると考えられる。ただ、実施例7においても本発明によるHcJ向上の効果は現れている。
したがって、製品として適するHcJを得る上で、焼結体の2粒子粒界においてR(RはY(イットリウム)および希土類元素の1種又は2種以上)が10~30at%であり、T(Fe又はFe及びCoを必須とする1種又は2種以上の遷移金属)が65~85at%であって、Cuが0.70~4.0at%、Alが0.07~2.0at%、であることが好ましい。
いずれにせよ、多量のCo、Cu、AlによるHcJの向上を完全に残しながらDyによるHcJのさらなる向上を実現するのは難しい。しかし、DyによるHcJの向上は原料合金からDyを単純に含有させるよりもずっと大きな効果が得られており、十分に実用可能な手法である。このことから、Co、Cu、Alの含有量の上限については、Coが1.10mass%、Cuが0.18mass%、Alが0.40mass%である。
