Abstract: An alloy for bonded magnets of the present invention includes at least a main component of iron (Fe), 12-16 atomic % (at %) of rare-earth elements (R) including yttrium (Y), and 10.8-15 at % of boron (B), and is subjected to a hydrogen treatment method as HDDR process or d-HDDR process. Using the magnet powder obtained from carrying out d-HDDR processing, etc. on this magnet alloy, pellets with superior insertion characteristics into bonded magnet molding dies can be obtained, and bonded magnets with superior magnetic properties and showing low cost can be obtained.

Abstract: The bonded magnet of the present invention, in which average particle diameter and compounding ratio are specified, is comprised of Cobalt-less R1 d-HDDR coarse magnet powder that has been surface coated with surfactant, R2 fine magnet powder that has been surface coated with surfactant (R1 and R2 are rare-earth metals), and a resin which is a binder. The resin, a ferromagnetic buffer in which R2 fine magnet powder is uniformly dispersed, envelops the outside of the Cobalt-less R1 d-HDDR coarse magnet powder. Despite using Cobalt-less R1 d-HDDR anisotropic magnet powder, which is susceptible to fracturing and therefore vulnerable to oxidation, the bonded magnet of the present invention exhibits high magnetic properties along with extraordinary heat resistance.

Abstract: An alloy for bonded magnet alloy of the present invention includes at least Fe as a main component, 11-15 at % rare-earth element (R) that includes yttrium (Y) and does not include lanthanum (La), 5.5-10.8 at % B and 0.01-1.0 at % La, and has superior corrosion resistance. Using the obtained magnet powder by applying the d-HDDR process etc. to this bonded magnet, bonded magnet with not only magnetic properties but also reliability such as corrosion resistance and heat resistance etc., can be achieved.

Abstract: This invention aims to provide a manufacturing method of an anisotropic magnet powder from which a bonded magnet with an improved loss of magnetization due to structural changes can be achieved. This is achieved by employing a low-temperature hydrogenation process, high-temperature hydrogenation process and the first evacuation process to an RFeB material (R: rare earth element) to manufacture a hydride powder (RFeBHx); the obtained RFeBHx powder (the precursory anisotropic magnet powder) is subsequently blended with a diffusion powder composed of hydride of dysprosium or the like and a diffusion heat-treatment process and a dehydrogenation process are employed. Through this series of processes, an anisotropic magnet powder with a great coercivity and a great degree of anisotropy can be achieved.

Abstract: A slot machine having a plurality of reels each of which is provided with an annular row of symbols on its periphery and is driven and stopped by a pulse motor associated therewith. The position of the respective reel can be detected by the content of a counter which counts the pulse signals fed to the pulse motor during revolution of the reel, the counter being reset to zero photoelectrically at the same point in each revolution of the reel.
