Abstract
Abstract Permanent magnet material having a high coercive force and a high residual flux density is constituted by an alloy of cerium (15 to 20 mol percent), cobalt (52 to 77 mol percent) and copper (8 to 30 mol percent). The cerium can be replaced by Cemischmetal in an amount providing the equivalent quantity of cerium. The material has a novel microstructure. The material can be prepared by melting together the ingredient materials and furnace-cooling to room temperature. Superior results are obtained with specially scheduled heat-treatments including controlled cooling rates. It is not necessary to use a fine particle magnet material.
