PERMANENT MAGNET FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF MAKING

摘要

Permanent magnets, devices including permanent magnets and methods for manufacture are described with the permanent magnet (12, 112) comprising, for example: iron-boron-rare earth alloy particulate having an intrinsic coercive force of at least about 1591 kiloamperes/meter (about 20 kiloOersteds) and a residual magnetization of at least about 0.8 tesla (about 8 kiloGauss), wherein the rare earth content comprises praseodymium, a light rare earth element selected from the group consisting of cerium, lanthanum, yttrium and mixtures thereof, and balance neodymium; and a binder bonding the particulate.
