Abstract
Abstract A method for producing a resin-bonded magnet, which includes steps of mixing a magnet element and microcapsules each of which contains at least one component of a thermally polymerizable resin composition as a binder component, mechanically breaking at least a part of the microcapsules during formation of a green compact comprising said resin composition and said magnet element to discharge the components of said resin composition from the capsules, and curing said resin to produce the resin-bonded magnet.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
A method for producing a resin-bonded magnet, which comprises steps of mixing a magnet element and microcapsules each of which contains at least one liquid component of a thermally polymerizable resin composition as a binder component, mechanically breaking at least a part of the microcapsules during formation of a green compact comprising said resin composition and said magnet element to discharge the components of said resin composition from the capsules, and curing said resin to produce the resin-bonded magnet.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
79 words
A method for producing a resin-bonded magnet, which comprises steps of mixing a magnet element and microcapsules each of which contains at least one liquid component of a thermally polymerizable resin composition as a binder component, mechanically breaking at least a part of the microcapsules during formation of a green compact comprising said resin composition and said magnet element to discharge the components of said resin composition from the capsules, and curing said resin to produce the resin-bonded magnet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein the magnet element is a melt-spin Fe-B-R isotropic type magnet element which has a composition of the formula: Fe.sub.100-x-y-z CO.sub.x R.sub.y B.sub.z wherein R is at least one member selected from the group consisting of Nd and Pr, and x, y and z are atomic percentages of Co, R and B, respectively and satisfy the following equations: 0≦x≦30, 10≦y≦28, 2≦z≦12, y+x≦34 and 6z+y≦34.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
171 words
A method for producing a resin-bonded magnet article, which comprises steps of granulating a melt-spin Fe-B-R isotropic type magnet raw material and an epoxy resin which is in the solid form at least at room temperature, mixing the resulting granules with microcapsules each of which contains at least a liquid epoxy resin as a binder component, fine powder of a latent curing agent for the epoxy resin and a lubricant to obtain a granular compound, providing said granular compound in a cavity formed by a support member and a mold wherein the support is heated at a temperature higher than the softening point of the solid epoxy resin and the mold is heated at a temperature lower than said softening point, pressing the provided granular compound in the cavity to mechanically break at least a part of the microcapsules to discharge the liquid epoxy resin from the capsules to form a green compact which is integrated with the support member, and curing the epoxy resins to produce the resin-bonded magnet article.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
