METHOD OF MAKING SINTERED COMPACT FOR RARE EARTH MAGNET

摘要

A method of making a sintered body for a rare earth magnet includes the steps of (a) preparing a first coarse powder by coarsely pulverizing a rare earth alloy sintered body by a hydrogen pulverization process, (b) preparing a first fine powder by finely pulverizing the first coarse powder, (c) preparing a second fine powder by pulverizing an alloy block of a rare earth alloy material, and (d) sintering a mixed powder including the first and second fine powders. The first and second fine powders each includes a main phase represented by (LR1-xHRx)2T14A, where T is Fe and/or at least one non-Fe transition metal element; A is boron and/or carbon; LR is at least one light rare earth element; HR is at least one heavy rare earth element; and 0
