Zusammenfassung: | To provide a RFeB sintered magnet capable of manufacturing at a low cost, and having higher hydrogen resistance than before.SOLUTION: A RFeB sintered magnet 10 includes a RFeB sintered body 13 containing R of rare earth element, and Fe and B, Cu existing in the grain boundary of the RFeB sintered body 13, so as to have a concentration gradient decreasing inward from the surface of the RFeB sintered body 13, and a protective layer 14 by Ni plating covering the surface of the RFeB sintered body 13. In the RFeB sintered magnet 10, hydrogen molecules are prevented from reaching the RFeB sintered body 13, excepting a pinhole 17 that is formed in the protective layer 14 inevitably, and since a R-Cu alloy, where embrittlement by hydrogen gas is less likely to occur than a rare earth rich phase, where the rare earth element exists substantially in the state of elementary substance, exists in the grain boundary 16 of the RFeB sintered body 13, occurrence of breaking due to molecules of hydrogen gas passed through the pinhole 17 can be restrained.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】低いコストで製造することができ、且つ従来よりも高い耐水素性を有するRFeB系焼結磁石を提供する。【解決手段】RFeB系焼結磁石10は、希土類元素であるRと、FeとBとを含有するRFeB系焼結体13と、RFeB系焼結体13の表面から内部に向かって減少する濃度勾配を有するように、RFeB系焼結体13の粒界に存在するCuと、RFeB系焼結体13の表面を覆うNiメッキによる保護層14とを備える。RFeB系焼結磁石10は、保護層14に形成されることが避けられないピンホール17のところを除いて、水素分子がRFeB系焼結体13に到達することが防止されると共に、希土類元素がほぼ単体の状態で存在する希土類リッチ相よりも水素ガスによる脆化が生じ難いR-Cu合金がRFeB系焼結体13の粒界16に存在するため、ピンホール17を通過した水素ガスの分子によって崩壊が生じることを抑えることができる。【選択図】図2 |
