Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a permanent magnet having a large maximum energy product by using a compound having a specific composition composed of one or more kinds of elements respectively selected out of specific heavy rare-earth elements, light rare-earth elements, and metals and iron and carbon. CONSTITUTION:This permanent magnet is produced from an anisotropic sintered product having a specific composition expressed by (HRaLR100-a)xFe100-x-y-zTyCz. The HR, LR, and T in the formula respectively represent one or more kinds of elements selected out of heavy rare-earth elements of Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu, one or more kinds of element selected out of light rare-earth elements of Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, and Ew, and one or more kinds of elements selected out of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W. The x, y, z, and a used in the formula respectively represent atomic percentages of 10-15%, <=10%, 4-10%, and 5-10%. Therefore, an (HR,LR)2Fe14C alloy having large saturation magnetization can be grown in a short time and, at the same time, anisotropic sintered magnet having a high energy product can be obtained by suppressing the grain growth.

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to rare earth-iron permanent magnets, and in particular to realizing a high energy product in a sintered body, which has been difficult with conventional techniques. [o o O2] [Prior Art] The Curie temperature of R2Fe+4C (where R represents a rare earth element) is slightly lower than that of R2Fe+4C, but the anisotropic magnetic field is large, and it is attracting attention as a candidate for a new permanent magnet material. (R, Grossing

.. It is reported that a coercive force of 5 kOe was obtained. (H
, H, St ade 1 ma i Cr et al.: Mat
, Letters 4.1986. pp. 377-380). However, when R is a heavy rare earth element, the moment of Fe and the moment of R are coupled antiparallelly, so that the saturation magnetization becomes smaller than when R is a light rare earth element. Therefore, it is desirable that R contains a light rare earth element as a main component. However, when R is a light rare earth element, R:
There is a problem that the Fe+4C compound is difficult to generate, and it is not possible to realize a permanent magnet mainly composed of the intermetallic compound R2Fe+4C with a large anisotropic magnetic field. Busch
ow et al. have reported heat treatment conditions for generating R2Fe+4C (K, H, Buschow et al.: J, L
e s s-Common~fet, 142.1988
.. pp. 349-357). [0003] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the reaction rate for producing R2FezC is very slow at temperatures below about 830°C, and at a certain temperature determined by the type of rare earth element (for example, when R is Nd, ℃) or higher, R2
Fe+4C will decompose. In this way R2Fe+4
The temperature range in which C is produced is very narrow, and the production reaction rate is very slow, requiring a long heat treatment (for example, 500 hours when R is Nd), which not only poses a serious problem in practical terms. There is a problem in that this long-term heat treatment causes grain growth, which causes a decrease in coercive force. In addition, it is difficult to obtain the unstable intermetallic compounds described above unless the manufacturing method relies on methods that have problems with mass production, such as ultra-quenching methods and mechanical alloying methods.
It was not possible to use powder metallurgy methods. [0004]

)2 (F e, T) 14c compound is generated in a short time, grain growth is suppressed, and R2Fe+4
The present invention provides a method for realizing a high-energy product anisotropic sintered magnet using a C-based alloy. That is, the rare earth permanent magnet of the present invention has a composition formula: (HRa LR+oo -a

The manufacturing method is characterized by a powder metallurgy method. [00051 This will be explained in detail below. The permanent magnet of the present invention is made of a quinary alloy of HR-LR-Fe-T-C, where HR is Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho,

The range is atomic percent. If the total amount of rare earth elements is too small, the residual magnetic flux density (Br) will improve, but the coercive force will be extremely reduced, so the maximum energy product ((BH) max) will increase.
decreases. Therefore, the total amount of rare earth elements is 10 at%
That's all. If the total amount of rare earth elements is too large, the residual magnetic flux density (Br) will decrease, and in this case also the maximum energy product (
(BH) max) decreases, so the content was set to 15 atomic % or less. The amount of heavy rare earth elements is small (HR, LR)
Since no 2Fe14c compound is generated, the coercive force does not increase. Therefore, it is necessary to replace 5% or more of heavy rare earth elements. On the other hand, as the amount of heavy rare earth elements increases, the coercive force increases, but magnetization decreases, so it is desirable not to exceed the amount of light rare earth elements. Therefore, a was set to 50% or less. [0006] Furthermore, when element T is added, grain growth is suppressed and it is possible to reduce the average crystal grain size to 10100L or less. This makes it possible to improve the coercive force. However, if the amount of 1゛ is too large, the residual magnetic flux density (Br
) decreases, resulting in a large maximum energy product ((BH)
ma (0007) Also, if the amount of C is too large, the residual magnetic flux density (
Br) and coercive force decrease, making it impossible to obtain a large maximum energy product ((BH) max). If c4 is too small, the (HR, L R) 2 Fe 14 C compound will not be generated, and a high coercive force will not be obtained. Therefore, the amount of C was limited to 4 to 10 at%. [0008] In addition, in this invention, while maintaining the characteristics,
Co and N are used to increase the Curie temperature and improve corrosion resistance.
One or more of each of i can be substituted up to 50% with respect to Fe.
