Patent number: 10717131Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of manufacturing, powder making device for rare earth magnet alloy powder, and a rare earth magnet. The method comprises a process of fine grinding at least one kind of rare earth magnet alloy or at least one kind of rare earth magnet alloy coarse powder in inert jet stream with an oxygen content below 1000 ppm to obtain powder that has a grain size smaller than 50 ?m. Low oxygen content ultra-fine powder having a grain size smaller than 1 ?m is not separated from the pulverizer, and the oxygen content of the atmosphere is reduced to below 1000 ppm in the pulverizer when crushing the powder. Therefore, abnormal grain growth (AGG) rarely happens in the sintering process. A low oxygen content sintered magnet is obtained and the advantages of a simplified process and reduced manufacturing cost are realized.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2018Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignees: XIAMEN TUNGSTEN CO., LTD., FUJIAN CHANGTING GOLDEN DRAGON RARE-EARTH CO., LTDInventors: Hiroshi Nagata, Chonghu Wu

Publication number: 20140014875Abstract: In an industrial purple nano-needle tungsten oxide preparation method, ammonium paratungstate 5(NH4)2O.12WO3.5H2O, tungstic acid mWO3.nH2O (m?1, n?1), or tungsten oxide WOx (2?x?3) is used as a raw material for preparing the purple nano-needle tungsten oxide in an inclined rotating furnace pipe. At an inlet of the furnace pipe, the raw material is pushed from a feed inlet of a feeding device into the heated furnace pipe. The inclined furnace pipe is rotated to gradually move the raw material from a low temperature area to a high temperature area. The raw material at the high temperature area inside the furnace pipe is reduced by H2 to form the nano-needle purple tungsten oxide. The inclined furnace pipe is rotated to move the WO2.72 towards a discharging end, and the purple tungsten oxide WO2.72 is discharged from a discharge outlet of a discharging device and cooled to room temperature by the discharging device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2011Publication date: January 16, 2014Inventors: Chonghu Wu, Qishan Wu, Xiao Wen, Gaoan Lin, Mandou Xiao, Hongbo Nie, Guanjin Gao, Chaoying Fan, Lili Ma
