Abstract: In order to achieve excellent heat resistance, durability and weatherability for use in an extended range of temperature environments, a rare earth bonded magnet is formed such that a material mixture comprising: a rare earth magnetic powder having a particle diameter ranging from 30 ?m to 500 ?m; a resin binder constituted by a thermosetting resin; and an organic phosphorous compound, is compression-molded and hardened, wherein the organic phosphorous compound is uniformly dispersed in the resin binder.

Abstract: In a rare earth bonded magnet comprising a mixture of rare earth magnetic powder, thermosetting resin, and lubricant, the lubricant is constituted by amino-acid compound, specifically either N-lauroyl-L-lysine or N-lauroyl-asparaginic acid. The content of the amino-acid compound as lubricant in the mixture is set to range between 0.01 wt % and 1.0 wt % of the magnetic powder. Since the amino-acid compound has a high decomposition point, the resultant magnet after heat-curing treatment has a sufficient mechanical strength. Also, the amino-acid compound is nonhygroscopic, and therefore oxidation resistance and humidity resistance are good enough. Further, since the amino-acid compound produces a small amount of outgas, the resultant magnet can be suitably and reliably used in a hard disk drive which has stringent requirements, especially on outgas.
