Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A method of producing permanent-magnet material having the composition Sm(Co 1-x-y Fe x Cu y ) z , wherein 0 < x < 0.2, 0.1 < y < 0.3 and 6.5 < z < 7.5, which comprises: melting together said elements in amounts according to said composition, solidifying the melt by slowly cooling said melt, annealing the alloy of the melted together elements at temperatures between 1150° and 1250° C, subsequently rapidly quenching said alloy, and further annealing said alloy at temperatures between 750 and 850° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
87 words
A method of producing permanent-magnet material having the composition Sm(Co 1-x-y Fe x Cu y ) z , wherein 0 < x < 0.2, 0.1 < y < 0.3 and 6.5 < z < 7.5, which comprises: melting together said elements in amounts according to said composition, solidifying the melt by slowly cooling said melt, annealing the alloy of the melted together elements at temperatures between 1150° and 1250° C, subsequently rapidly quenching said alloy, and further annealing said alloy at temperatures between 750 and 850° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the alloy is annealed at about 1200° C for about 1 hour and then quenched.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the quenching is performed in liquid argon or nitrogen.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said second annealing is effected at about 820° C for about 1 hour.
