For the manufacturing method of R・Fe・B magnets, see 2.
It is broadly divided into two methods. One is a polymer composite magnet, which is manufactured by rapidly cooling a molten alloy, aging it, and orienting the crushed magnet powder in a magnetic field. The other type of magnet is a sintered magnet, which is manufactured by pulverizing an ingot of a magnetic alloy obtained by melting, molding it in a magnetic field, and then sintering it. The present invention relates to a magnet manufactured using the latter type of sintered magnet.

The present invention aims to improve the sinterability of an R 2 T 14 B-based magnet alloy and to stabilize the magnetic properties with respect to the sintering temperature by improving the squareness of the demagnetization curve. In addition, in the above-mentioned literature, there are cases in which high magnetic properties are obtained by heat treatment after sintering, but in the alloy of the present invention, although some aging effect is observed, even after sintering treatment, sufficient magnetic properties are obtained. High magnetic properties have been obtained, and energy and equipment savings can be achieved by simplifying the processing process.

Generally, the manufacturing process of this type of magnet using the powder metallurgy method includes melting, crushing, orientation in a magnetic field, compression molding, sintering,
They proceed in the order of the statute of limitations. Melting is performed in a vacuum or inert atmosphere using arc, high frequency, etc. Grinding is divided into coarse grinding and fine grinding, and coarse grinding is carried out using a geo crusher iron mortar, roll mill, or the like. Fine pulverization is performed using a ball mill, vibration mill, jet mill, or the like. Orientation in a magnetic field and compression molding are usually performed simultaneously in a magnetic field using a mold. Sintering is carried out in the range 1000-1150°C in an inert atmosphere. The statute of limitations is determined as necessary.
It is carried out at a temperature of about 300 to 900 degrees Celsius.

The present invention is primarily concerned with sintering temperature and magnetic properties. In a sintered magnet, the squareness of the demagnetization curve and Hc are generally improved by lowering the sintering temperature. On the other hand, as the sintering temperature increases, squareness and Hc tend to decrease. The present inventor has developed an R 2 T 14 B-based magnet alloy (however,
R is a rare earth element containing Nd, Pr, and Ce as essential components, T is a transition metal consisting essentially of Fe), which contains 5 at% or less Nb as a substitute for T, and has a high sinterability and sintering temperature. It was discovered that the decrease in the squareness of the demagnetization curve on the high temperature side can be reduced. This phenomenon not only saves energy by lowering the sintering temperature, but also has the effect of providing high magnetic properties over a wide sintering temperature range. Another advantage is that high magnetic properties can be obtained without any particular aging treatment after sintering.

In the composition of the alloy according to the present invention, the Nb content is set to 0 to 5 at% because a sufficient effect can be expected even with the addition of a small amount of Nb, whereas sinterability tends to decrease in the range exceeding 5 at%. This is because the addition of Nb causes a decrease in Br, a decrease in the squareness of the demagnetization curve, and a significant decrease in BHC , resulting in a sharp decrease in (BH)max.
The area where the addition effect of Nb is most effective is 1 to 2 wt%
It was moderately hot.
