Abstract
Abstract Anisotropic metal oxide magnets are produced by mixing at least one of Alpha -FeOOH having rectangular plate or needle crystal form, Alpha -Fe2O3 obtained by thermally decomposing the above described Alpha -FeOOH, Fe3O4 obtained by reducing the above described Alpha -Fe2O3 and gamma -Fe2O3 obtained by reoxidizing the above described Fe3O4 with at least one of barium compounds, strontium compounds and lead compounds so as to adjust the product composition to be approximately MO.6Fe2O3, wherein M is at least one metal of Ba, Sr and Pb, charging the resulting mixture in a press mold and subjecting to a primary compression molding under a pressure of 0.05 to 6 ton/cm2, primary sintering the compressed product at a temperature of 300* to 1,150*C, putting the sintered product in a press mold and subjecting to a secondary compression molding in the same direction as in the primary compression molding under a pressure of 0.3 to 10 ton/cm2 and secondarily sintering the compressed product at a temperature of 1,050*C to 1,400*C. Optionally, the barium, strontium, or lead compounds can be added either after the first cold pressing step or after the partial sintering step instead of prior to the first cold pressing step.
