Since it has advantages such as the above, it is currently receiving attention.
However, the performance of resin-bonded magnets is lower than that of sintered magnets by the proportion of the resin contained, and the orientation is also reduced, so generally only about 1/2 to 1/3 the performance of sintered magnets is shown. Not done. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the amount of resin as much as possible to improve the performance. In addition, the amount of resin is small, and (1) it has a strong adhesive force, (2) it has good heat resistance, (3)
Resins used for permanent magnets need to meet the requirements such as chemical resistance. Resins used in permanent magnets include thermosetting, thermoplastic, and rubber-based materials, but in the case of thermoplastic resins and rubber-based materials, a large amount of resin is filled, resulting in a large decrease in performance. It becomes a poor permanent magnet. It can be said that among the remaining thermosetting resins, those that satisfy the above conditions are limited to epoxy resins.

The epoxy resin is mainly composed of two liquids (a main agent and a curing agent), and when heated, the curing agent undergoes a polymerization reaction with the epoxy groups contained in the main agent, resulting in a strong solidification. A cured product is obtained. There are various kinds of this curing agent, but the curing agent most often used is an aliphatic amine curing agent, which is characterized by strong adhesive force and good mechanical properties. For this reason, the curing agent for the epoxy resin that has been conventionally used for permanent magnets is also the aliphatic amine type. However, the aliphatic amine cured epoxy resin
There was a problem with heat resistance, and when used for a permanent magnet, the limit operating temperature of the permanent magnet was only 1000 ° C. Further, there is also a problem with solvent resistance, and therefore, resin-bonded magnets have not been used in applications requiring high reliability. Furthermore, aliphatic amines have the drawbacks of requiring great care when used because they are highly toxic, and that many mixtures cannot be prepared and stored at once due to their short pot life.

It represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, and an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group and an annealing group in which at least one or more hydrogen atoms in the molecule are substituted with a cyano group or a hydroxyl group. ) The curing of the epoxy resin with the imidazole-based curing agent is slow at low temperature and violent at high temperature. Therefore, the pot life of the epoxy resin becomes long, and it becomes possible to manufacture and store a large amount of a mixture of the magnet powder and the epoxy resin. Further, imidazole-cured epoxy resin is generally known to have good heat resistance and chemical resistance, and this greatly contributes to the improvement of heat resistance and chemical resistance of the resin-bonded magnet. Imidazole was less toxic and less toxic than aliphatic amines, so it was safer during work.

Demagnetization occurs when the magnet is heated after being magnetized. Among the demagnetizations, there are (1) reversible demagnetization and (2) irreversible demagnetization, and the irreversible demagnetization of the resin-bonded magnet has a considerably larger value than the sintered magnet. Table 1 shows the irreversible demagnetization rate when a resin-bonded magnet with a different hardening agent was magnetized and then left in a constant temperature bath for 1000 hours.

From Table 1, it can be seen that the irreversible demagnetization ratio of Sample 1 using imidazole is significantly lower than that of Samples 2 and 3 using the aliphatic amine curing agent.
It can be said that imidazole has improved the thermal deterioration of the resin causing the irreversible demagnetization and the decrease in the adhesive force between the resin and the magnet powder between the magnet powders.

It can be seen from Table 2 that the solvent resistance is remarkably improved when the imidazole-cured epoxy resin is used.

Example 2 The pot life of the kneaded product was examined for the sample using imidazole and the sample using aliphatic amine. In the experiment, the epoxy resin containing each curing agent and the magnetic powder were kneaded, and the kneaded material was left standing at room temperature and then formed to observe the deterioration of the magnetic performance. From Fig. 2, comparing the case of using the imidazole-based curing agent (1-cyanethyl-2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole) and the case of using the aliphatic hydrocarbon-based curing agent (diethylaminenoprobylamine), It is clear that the pot life is long. When the pot life is long, the kneaded product can be produced and stored in a large amount at one time, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, since imidazole has low volatility and low skin irritation toxicity, it can be said that it can be handled in a large amount.

Demagnetization occurs when the magnet is heated after being magnetized. Among the demagnetizations, there are (1) reversible demagnetization and (2) irreversible demagnetization, and the irreversible demagnetization of the resin-bonded magnet has a considerably larger value than the sintered magnet. Table 1 shows the irreversible demagnetization rate when a resin-bonded magnet with a different hardening agent was magnetized and then left in a constant temperature bath for 1000 hours.
