  • Patent number: 7371290
    Abstract: To avoid various problems caused by remnant magnetization and produce an anisotropic bonded magnet at a reduced cost, a method for producing an anisotropic bonded magnet by feeding a magnetic powder (such as an HDDR powder) into the cavity of a press machine and compacting it is provided. A weak magnetic field is created as a static magnetic field in a space including the cavity by using a magnetic member that is steadily magnetized. The magnetic powder being transported into the cavity is aligned parallel to the direction of the weak magnetic field. Next, the magnetic powder is compressed in the cavity, thereby obtaining a compact.

  • Patent number: 7344606
    Abstract: An anisotropic bonded magnet is produced at a low cost by avoiding various problems caused by remanence. Also, the unit weight and density of a compact is increased by filling even a cavity, having no easily feedable shape, with a magnet powder just as intended. An anisotropic bonded magnet is produced by feeding the cavity of a press machine with a magnetic powder (e.g., an HDDR powder) and compacting it. After the magnetic powder has been positioned outside of the cavity, an oscillating magnetic field (e.g., an alternating magnetic field) is created in a space including the cavity. The magnetic powder is transported into the cavity while being aligned parallel to the oscillating direction of the oscillating magnetic field. Thereafter, the magnetic powder is compressed within the cavity to make a compact for an anisotropic bonded magnet.
