Abstract

Abstract Magnetic alloys of a ternary composition as defined within the region A, B, C, D of the ternary diagram of FIG. 5, wherein X is one or more metals selected from the group which consists of iron, nickel, aluminum, copper, molybdenum and manganese and preferably includes 0.1 to 10% atomic (most advantageously 1 to 5% atomic chromium of the entire alloy), are cast and rendered ductile by the formation within the material during solidification of at least two phases. One of the phases is preferably ductile and formed essentially of fibers or dendrites of Co and the other phase or phases are from those normally found in rare-earth/cobalt magnets. The alloy is magnetically hardened by precipitation hardening. The chromium appears predominantly in the fiber or dendrite phase and promotes the formation of the latter.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 150 words
A magnetic alloy for a ductile permanent magnet made by directional solidification comprising a ductile phase consisting essentially of cobalt and chromium or of cobalt, chromium and iron in a brittle, magnetic matrix whose composition lies between TR(Co,X) 5 and TR 2 (Co,X) 17 , where TR is at least one element selected from the group which consists of samarium, gadolinium, praseodynium, cerium, neodymium, holmium, lanthanum, and yttrium; X is at least one metal selected from the group which consists of copper, iron, chromium, nickel, aluminum, molybdenum, and manganese; TR is present in an amount of 10 to 15 at % of the alloy, X is present in an amount of 10 to 40 at % of the alloy, cobalt is present in an amount of 50 to 80 at % of the alloy; and chromium is present in an amount of 0.5 to 5 at % of the alloy.
