ABSTRACT:
In a preferred embodiment thin layers of rare earth metal-cobalt powder comprising an outer layer of RCo.sub.5 and a discrete transitional layer of R.sub.2 Co.sub.17 are compressed against an adjacent thicker layer of iron powder to form a laminated green compact, with the rare earth-cobalt powdered material being magnetically aligned. The green laminate body is then sintered to densify the rare earth-cobalt material layer to a body wherein the pores are substantially noninterconnecting. The laminate structure is then magnetized. By this method a strong rare earth-cobalt (RCo.sub.5) permanent magnet body is produced in which the rare earth-cobalt layer may be very thin (of the order of 1 to 2 millimeters) but of relatively large surface area and supported by a strong iron layer so as to be durable in handling, manufacturing and use.
It is possible to press an RCo.sub.5 layer directly onto a powdered iron layer when the oxygen content of the iron is suitably low. The method will also produce an R.sub.2 Co.sub.17 -iron composite.
