Patent number: 5470400Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing a non-pyrophoric, corrosion resistant rare earth-containing material capable of being formed into a polymer bonded permanent magnet comprising forming particles from a rare earth-containing alloy, and treating the alloy with a passivating gas comprised of nitrogen, carbon dioxide or a combination of nitrogen and carbon dioxide at a temperature below the phase transformation temperature of the alloy, and heat treating the alloy to produce material having a coercivity of at least 1,000 Oersteds. Rare earth-containing alloys suitable for use in producing magnets, such as Nd--Fe--B and Sm--Co alloys, can be used. If nitrogen is used as the passivating gas, the resultant powder particles have a nitrogen surface concentration of from about 0.4 to about 26.8 atomic percent. Moreover, if carbon dioxide is used as the passivating gas, the resultant powder particles have a carbon surface concentration of from about 0.02 to about 15 atomic percent.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 1994Date of Patent: November 28, 1995Assignee: SPS Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Yakov Bogatin, Mark Robinson, Frank S. Greenwald, John Ormerod

Patent number: 5266128Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing a rare earth-containing powder comprising crushing a rare earth-containing alloy in water, drying the crushed alloy material at a temperature below the phase transformation temperature of the material, and treating the crushed alloy material with a passivating gas at a temperature from the ambient temperature to a temperature below the phase transformation temperature of the material. Rare earth-containing alloys suitable for use in producing magnets utilizing the powder metallurgy technique, such as Nd-Fe-B and Sm-Co alloys, can be used. The passivating gas can be nitrogen, carbon dioxide or a combination of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. If nitrogen is used as the passivating gas, the resultant powder has a nitrogen surface concentration of from about 0.4 to about 26.8 atomic percent. Moreover, if carbon dioxide is used as the passivating gas, the resultant powder has a carbon surface concentration of from about 0.02 to about 15 atomic percent.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1991Date of Patent: November 30, 1993Assignee: SPS Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Yakov Bogatin
