Method for producing magnetically anisotropic permanent magnet

摘要

The present invention aims at providing a powdery raw material composition for a permanent magnet superior in the magnetic properties and easy in preparation, a magnetically anisotropic permanent magnet, and a method for producing the magnet by use of the powdery raw material composition. A powdery raw material composition for a permanent magnet according to the present invention is one prepared by subjecting a mixture composed of 13-18 weight % of a neodymium powder, 4-10 weight % of a boron powder and the rest of an acicular iron powder coated with aluminum phosphate to a temperature above 600 DEG C. in an atmosphere initially of a hydrogen-containing reducing gas followed later by an inert gas, and a magnetically anisotropic permanent magnet is prepared by compression molding a mixture obtained from the powdery composition and a binder under heating in the presence of a magnetic field.
