  • Patent number: 8066498
    Abstract: The objects of the present invention are to provide a magnetic field molding device capable of improving yield in a production and stabilizing product quality, and a method for producing a ferrite magnet. In molding in a magnetic field, the mortar-shaped die 19 provided with a plurality of the cavities 13 is heated by the heater member 20, provided in the heater block located under the mortar-shape die 19, under control of a controller at varying temperature depending on the position of the mortar-shape die 19, to keep uniform temperature of the slurry in the cavities 13. This assures good and stable slurry dehydration properties and improves product yield.

  • Patent number: 7641848
    Abstract: A process for production of a magnet which comprises step of supplying a slurry S containing magnetic powder and a dispersing medium into the cavity C of a molding apparatus 12, a step of compression molding the slurry S while applying a magnetic field to the slurry S to obtain a molded article and a step of sintering the molded article to obtain a magnet, wherein the molding apparatus 12 comprises a die 121 having a through-hole 121a into which the slurry S is supplied, a slurry supply gate 121d being formed in the inner wall surface 121b, a die 122 inserted in the through-hole 121a and a die 123 that forms a cavity C together with the dies 123, 122, the slurry S being supplied in an amount such that it is less than the volume of the cavity C when the die 122 has been inserted in the through-hole 121a and has blocked the slurry supply gate 121d, and in the step of obtaining the molded article, the slurry S is compression molded after the die 122 has blocked the slurry supply gate 121d.

  • Publication number: 20060219323
    Abstract: The objects of the present invention are to provide a magnetic field molding device, and method for producing a ferrite magnet, or the like, capable of improving yield in a production line and stabilizing product quality, and method for producing a ferrite magnet. In molding in a magnetic field, the mortar-shaped die 19 provided with a plurality of the cavities 13 is heated by the heater member 20 at a given temperature level, under the control of the controller 23. The temperature level is preferably controlled by the controller 23 at 40° C. or higher as mortar-shaped die 19 temperature T1, sensed by the sensor 22. A molding slurry can be kept at a high temperature level in the cavities 13 by heating the mortar-shaped die 19, and can have high dehydration properties and improve product yield.
