Abstract
Abstract Magnets are produced by dissolving in a solvent organic polymer which is a binder for magnetic powder, adding a magnetic powder to the solution, then adding to the solution a vehicle in which the polymer is insoluble. The vehicle is added until the polymer has precipitated onto the magnetic particles. These coated particles are then dried and hot pressed within an orienting magnetic field to produce the magnet.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
The method of making a permanent magnet which comprises: dissolving in a solvent an organic polymer which is a binder for magnetic particles; adding particles of magnetic powder to the resulting solution; adding to said solution a vehicle in which said polymer is insoluble until the polymer precipitates onto the particles; and hot pressing the polymer-coated particles into a compact to form a magnet.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
64 words
The method of making a permanent magnet which comprises: dissolving in a solvent an organic polymer which is a binder for magnetic particles; adding particles of magnetic powder to the resulting solution; adding to said solution a vehicle in which said polymer is insoluble until the polymer precipitates onto the particles; and hot pressing the polymer-coated particles into a compact to form a magnet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
