Abstract

Abstract A highly rustproof resin-bonded magnet side by using a specific rustproofing resin for coating the particles of a magnetic powder, bonding them to form a molded body, or coating its surface, or for two or all of those purposes. The specific resin is selected from ones containing groups of atoms having a power of forming a coordinate bond and a reducing action. More specifically, it is (a) a high molecular compound produced by reacting with an epoxy resin one or more of a polyhydric phenol having adjacent hydroxyls, a polyhydric phenolic carboxylic acid having adjacent hydroxyls, an ester of a polyhydric phenol and a polyhydric alcohol having adjacent hydroxyls, and a polycyclic and polyhydric phenol having adjacent hydroxyls, (b) a redox resin as a reduction agent, or (c) a high molecular compound produced by curing a mixture of ascorbic acid, or a derivative thereof, and an epoxy resin.
