  • Publication number: 20120182107
    Abstract: There are provided a permanent magnet and a manufacturing method thereof that enables concentration of V, Mo, Zr, Ta, Ti, W or Nb contained in an organometallic compound in grain boundaries of the permanent magnet. To fine powder of milled neodymium magnet is added an organometallic compound solution containing an organometallic compound expressed with a structural formula of M-(OR)x (M represents V, Mo, Zr, Ta, Ti, W or Nb, R represents a substituent group consisting of a straight-chain or branched-chain hydrocarbon, x represents an arbitrary integer) so as to uniformly adhere the organometallic compound to particle surfaces of the neodymium magnet powder. Thereafter, a compact body obtained by compacting the magnet powder is held for several hours in hydrogen atmosphere at 200 through 900 degrees Celsius so as to perform a calcination process in hydrogen. Thereafter, through sintering, a permanent magnet is manufactured.

  • Publication number: 20120181475
    Abstract: There are provided a permanent magnet and a manufacturing method thereof enabling carbon content contained in magnet particles to be reduced in advance before sintering even when wet milling is employed. Coarsely-milled magnet powder is further milled by a bead mill in a solvent together with an organometallic compound expressed with a structural formula of M?(OR)x (M includes at least one of neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium, each being a rare earth element, R represents a substituent group consisting of a straight-chain or branched-chain hydrocarbon, x represents an arbitrary integer) so as to uniformly adhere the organometallic compound to particle surfaces of the magnet powder. Thereafter, a compact body of compacted magnet powder is held for several hours in hydrogen atmosphere at 200 through 900 degrees Celsius to perform hydrogen calcination process. Thereafter, through sintering process, a permanent magnet 1 is manufactured.

  • Publication number: 20120182106
    Abstract: There are provided a permanent magnet and a manufacturing method thereof capable of preventing grain growth in a main phase and enabling rare-earth rich phase to be uniformly dispersed. To fine powder of milled neodymium magnet material is added an organometallic compound solution containing an organometallic compound expressed with a structural formula of M-(OR)x (in the formula, M represents Cu or Al, R represents a substituent group consisting of a straight-chain or branched-chain hydrocarbon, x represents an arbitrary integer) so as to uniformly adhere the organometallic compound to particle surfaces of the neodymium magnet powder. Thereafter, a compact body formed by compacting the above neodymium magnet powder is held for several hours in hydrogen atmosphere at 200 through 900 degrees Celsius. Thereafter, through a sintering process, a permanent magnet is manufactured.

  • Publication number: 20110267160
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a permanent magnet manufactured by steps of: pulverizing a magnet raw material into fine particles having a grain size of 3 ?m or less; mixing the pulverized magnet raw material with a rust preventive oil in which a high-melting metal element-containing organic compound or a precursor of a high-melting ceramic is dissolved, thereby preparing a slurry; compression molding the slurry to form a molded body; and sintering the molded body.

  • Publication number: 20110037548
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a permanent magnet manufactured by steps of: wet-pulverizing a high-melting metal element-containing organic compound or a precursor of a high-melting ceramic in a solvent together with a magnet raw material to pulverize the magnet raw material into fine particles having a grain size of 3 ?m or less and to coat a surface of the pulverized magnet raw material with the high-melting metal element-containing organic compound or the precursor of the high-melting ceramic; adding a resin binder to the magnet raw material coated with the high-melting metal element-containing organic compound or the precursor of the high-melting ceramic; producing a slurry by kneading the magnet raw material and the resin binder; molding the slurry into a sheet form to prepare a green sheet; and sintering the green sheet.

  • Publication number: 20110018664
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a permanent magnet obtained by wet-mixing a Dy compound or a Tb compound with a magnet raw material to coat a surface of the magnet raw material with the Dy compound or the Tb compound, and sintering a green sheet obtained by mixing the resulting magnet raw material with a resin binder and molding the resulting mixture. Since the present invention has the above-mentioned constitution, it becomes possible to sufficiently improve coercive force by Dy or Tb while decreasing the amount of Dy or Tb used. Further, it can be prevented that Dy or Tb is solid-solutionized in magnet particles to decrease residual magnetization.

  • Publication number: 20110012700
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a permanent magnet obtained by sintering a green sheet which is produced by mixing a magnet raw material with a resin binder and molding the resulting mixture, and a method for producing the same. Since the present invention has such a constitution, the contraction due to sintering becomes uniform, whereby the deformations such as warpage and depressions do not occur after sintering. Further, it is unnecessary to perform the conventional correcting processing after sintering, which can simplify the production steps, because the pressure unevenness at the time of pressing disappears. Therefore, it becomes possible to mold the permanent magnet with a high degree of dimension accuracy. Furthermore, even when the permanent magnet is reduced in film thickness, the magnetic characteristics are not deteriorated by the processing-deteriorated layer on the surface.

  • Publication number: 20110012460
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a permanent magnet for a motor, to be buried in a permanent magnet motor, including: a plurality of sheet magnets for lamination, and an insulating layer arranged between the plurality of sheet magnets for lamination. Since the invention has the above-mentioned constitution, the permanent magnets are free from the problems of temperature elevation and coercive force depression, therefore making it possible to provide a high-power small-sized motor. Furthermore, it is unnecessary to perform the conventional correcting processing after sintering, which can simplify the production steps, and therefore, it becomes possible to mold the permanent magnet with a high degree of dimension accuracy.
