Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is an economical process for the production of a sintered Fe-Co type, Fe-Co-V type or Fe-Co-Cr type magnetic material, which comprises preparing an alloy powder of at least Fe and Co metals of a like powder, kneading it with an organic binder, conducting injection molding and debinding, and then conducting a two-stage sintering treatment consisting of low-temperature sintering and high-temperature sintering. Magnetic materials having a specific composition of the Fe-Co, Fe-Co-V or Fe-Co-Cr type and excellent magnetic properties and a low core loss value are also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
A process for the production of a sintered Fe-Co type magnetic material, which comprises preparing an alloy powder and/or mixed powder of at least Fe and Co metals, kneading the alloy power and/or mixed powder with at least one organic binder, subjecting the resultant compound to injection molding and debinding, and then subjecting the thus-obtained debound body to a two-stage sintering treatment consisting of low-temperature sintering and high-temperature sintering.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
A process for the production of a sintered Fe-Co type magnetic material, which comprises preparing an alloy powder and/or mixed powder of at least Fe and Co metals, kneading the alloy power and/or mixed powder with at least one organic binder, subjecting the resultant compound to injection molding and debinding, and then subjecting the thus-obtained debound body to a two-stage sintering treatment consisting of low-temperature sintering and high-temperature sintering.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
170 words
The process of claim 1 for the production of the sintered Fe-Co type magnetic material, wherein the alloy powder and/or mixed powder of Fe and Co metals is a mixed powder of an Fe powder having an average particle size of 2-15 μm and a Co powder having an average particle size of 1-10 μm, an Fe-Co alloy powder having an average particle size of 3-10 μm, or a mixed powder of at least one of an Fe powder and a Co powder, both having an average particle size of 3-10 μm, and an Fe-Co alloy powder having an average particle size of 3-10 μm, said first-mentioned mixed powder, second-mentioned Fe-Co alloy powder or third-mentioned mixed powder having been prepared to have a final composition in which Co accounts for 15-60 wt. % and Fe substantially accounts for the remainder; and the two-stage sintering treatment comprises sintering the debound body at an α-phase range temperature of 800°-950° C. and then at a γ-phase range temperature of at least 1000° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 2 for the production of the sintered Fe-Co type magnetic material, wherein the sintering in the α-phase range of 800°-950° C. is conducted in a reduction gas atmosphere.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
117 words
The process of claim 1 for the production of the sintered Fe-Co type magnetic material, wherein the alloy powder and/or mixed powder of Fe and Co metals is an alloy powder and/or mixed powder having an average particle size of 3-25 μm and prepared to have a final composition in which Co accounts for 15-60 wt. %, V for 0.5-3.5 wt. % and Fe substantially for the remainder; and the two-stage sintering treatment comprises sintering the debound body at 1000°-1300° C. in a reduction gas atmosphere or a reduced-pressure atmosphere not higher than 30 Torr and then at a temperature, which is at least 50° C. higher than the preceding sintering temperature, in an inert gas atmosphere.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
173 words
The process of claim 1 for the production of the sintered Fe-Co type magnetic material, wherein the alloy powder and/or mixed powder of Fe and Co metals comprises an Fe powder having an average particle size of 2-15 μm, at least one powder selected from a Co powder having an average particle size of 1-10 μm or an Fe-Co alloy powder having an average particle size of 3-10 μm and at least one powder selected from a Cr and/or Cr oxide powder having an average particle size of 1-30 μm or an Fe-Cr alloy powder having an average particle size of 2-30 μm and is prepared to have a final composition in which Co accounts for 20-50 wt. %, Cr for 0.5-3.5 wt. % and Fe substantially for the remainder; and the two-stage sintering treatment comprises sintering the debound body at 1000°-1350° C. in a reduced-pressure atmosphere not higher than 30 Torr and then at a temperature, which is at least 50° C. higher than the preceding sintering temperature, in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
