Bond magnet and manufacturing method thereof, and actuator therewith

摘要

A bond magnet comprises a molded body in which a mixture of flake of magnet material comprising rare earth element-iron-nitrogen as main component, TbCu7 type crystal phase as a principal phase and a thickness of less than 200 mum a binder is compression molded. A compression molded body constituting a bond magnet has a density of 6x103 kg/m3 or more. In the step of compression molding a mixture of magnet material and binder, pressure is applied a plurality of times, or pressure is applied while rotating a punch and die, or the binder is cured while applying pressure to obtain such a bond magnet with good reproducibility. Such a bond magnet has excellent magnetic properties and corrosion resistance.
