Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a phosphorus-bearing soft magnetic material. The process includes the steps of: blending iron powder and ferro-phosphorus powder into a mixture containing from 0.4 to 1.25% phosphorus; pressing said blended mixture into a compact; and sintering said compact in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. The iron and ferro-phosphorus powder respectively have no more than 0.02 and 0.2% calcium. The ferro-phosphorus powder has from 12 to 30% phosphorus.
