Patent number: 9702945Abstract: A magnetic measurement device which can measure the magnetic characteristics in a microregion of a thin plate magnetic sample. After a magnetic sample is applied by a magnetic field and magnetized accordingly, by scanning the magnetic sample using a measuring part, the magnetic flux leakage in the magnetic sample can be measured. The magnetic flux leaks outside by magnetizing a first region and a second region of the magnetic sample in reciprocally opposite directions and reducing the demagnetizing field. Specifically, a magnetic field generating part with at least a pair of magnetic poles is used to perform the magnetization of multiple poles, or the magnetic field generating part applies a damped oscillation magnetic field to perform the magnetization, or a local magnetic field generating part which applies an alternating magnetic field and scans the surface of the sample at the same time is used to perform the magnetization.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: TDK CORPORATIONInventors: Kenichi Suzuki, Tsutomu Chikamatsu, Akio Ogawa, Kyung-ku Choi, Ryuji Hashimoto

Patent number: 9607743Abstract: The present invention provides a permanent magnet with excellent adhesion strength with plated layer and without significant decrease in magnetic properties, compared to the conventional R-T-B based magnet. By means that the R-T-B based magnet as the raw material is applied to heating treatment for a long time, the major phase grains will form core-shell like structures in the R-T-B based magnet in which R1 and Ce are included as an essential of R. When the mass concentration of R1 and Ce in the core portion is set as ?R1 and ?Ce respectively and that of R1 and Ce in the shell portion is set as ?R1 and ?Ce respectively, the ratio (B/A) between the mass concentration ratio of R1 to Ce in the shell portion (?R1/?Ce=B) and that of R1 to Ce in the core portion (?R1/?Ce=A) is 1.1 or more.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2014Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: TDK CORPORATIONInventors: Yasushi Enokido, Kyung-Ku Choi, Kenichi Suzuki, Daisuke Tanaka

Patent number: 9520216Abstract: An R-T-B based magnet as raw material undergoes heating treatment for a long time and main phase grains turn core-shell like. The R-T-B based magnet includes main phase grains having core and shell portions that covers the core. When the mass concentration of R1 and Y in the core portion is set as ?R1 and ?Y respectively and the mass concentration of R1 and Y in the shell portion is set as ?R1 and ?Y respectively, the ratio (B/A) between the mass concentration ratio of R1 to Y in the shell portion (?R1/?Y=B) and the mass concentration ratio of R1 to Y in the core portion (?R1/?Y=A) is 1.1 or more. Thus, the decrease of coercivity caused by Y addition is prevented, and the increase effect of temperature characteristics caused by addition of Y will lead to improve the magnetic properties under high temperature.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2014Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: TDK CORPORATIONInventors: Yasushi Enokido, Kyung-Ku Choi, Ryuji Hashimoto, Daisuke Tanaka
