  • Patent number: 11264154
    Abstract: A rare earth permanent magnet includes a main phase containing: a rare earth element R of one or more types including Nd; an element L of one or more types selected from a group consisting of Co, Be, Li, Al, and Si; B; and Fe, wherein crystals which form the main phase belong to P42/mnm; some of B atoms occupying a 4f site of the crystals are substituted with atoms of the element L; each distribution of Nd atoms and the atoms of the element L appears along a C-axis direction of the crystals in a plurality of cycles; and the rare earth permanent magnet includes an area where a cycle of the atoms of the element L matches a cycle of the Nd atoms.

  • Publication number: 20210210996
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an Sm—Fe—N magnet includes a sealing step of filling a metal sheath with a magnet powder including an Sm—Fe—N compound as a main component and sealing the metal sheath, a Magnetic field applying step of applying a magnetic field to the magnet powder sealed in the metal sheath, and magnetizing the magnet powder by magnetically orienting the magnet powder and aligning a direction of magnetic orientation in one direction, a preliminary rolling step of preliminarily rolling the magnetically oriented magnet powder sealed in the metal sheath to make the magnetically oriented magnet powder into a green compact, and a pressurizing step of pressurizing the green compact sealed in the metal sheath and densifying the green compact to form a magnet body, wherein in the preliminary rolling step, the preliminary rolling is performed by lightly rolling the magnetically oriented magnet powder sealed in the metal sheath with a pressure smaller than a pressure in the pressurizing step.

  • Patent number: 10629343
    Abstract: A magnetic property of a rare earth permanent magnet containing neodymium, iron, and boron is enhanced. The present disclosure is a rare earth permanent magnet with a compound represented by a following expression as a main phase: Nd2Fe14B(1-x)Mx. In the expression, M represents an element selected from any one of cobalt, beryllium, lithium, aluminum, and silicon and x satisfies 0.01?x?0.25. The main phase has an Nd—Fe—B layer and an Fe layer periodically and part of boron is substituted with any one or more types of elements selected from a group consisting of cobalt, beryllium, lithium, aluminum, and silicon.
