ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this invention is to present fabrication methods and equipment for granulated powders whereby, the reaction between the R-Fe-B-type or R-Co-type rare earth containing alloy powders and the binder is controlled, the residual oxygen and carbon content of the sintered products after sintering is reduced, and whereby it is possible to obtain isotropic or anisotropic granulated powders having good powder flowability and lubrication properties when molding. After stirring a slurry of rare earth containing alloy powders formed by adding a binder consisting of water and at least one of either methyl cellulose, polyacryl amide or polyvinyl alcohol, and mixing, oriented liquid droplets are formed by applying a magnetic field to the slurry to orientate the said powder particles and spraying within the chamber of a spray dryer apparatus. By instantaneously dry solidifying these anisotropic granulated powders, it is possible to fabricate spherical granulated powders with good magnetic properties and a high flowability whereby the flowability and lubrication properties of the powder at the time of compression molding are improved, as well as improving the molding cycle and the dimensional precision of the molded product.
