Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sintered compact includes the steps of preparing an alloy powder having a composition represented by Expression 1: RTW (where, R is at least one kind of rare earth metal, T is at least one kind of transition metal, and w defines a relation of 1<w<4), sintering the alloy powder in a vacuum atmosphere or an atmosphere containing gas with a molecular weight of 30 or less, and processing the alloy powder by a hot isostatic pressing.

Abstract: In the step of sintering a compact that is finally to be a magnetostrictive element, when the temperature in a furnace is elevated, the atmosphere in the furnace is evacuated by a vacuum pump to keep the pressure in the furnace at negative pressure in a temperature range that allows thermal decomposition of hydride present in the compact to release hydrogen gas to accelerate release of hydrogen from the compact.
