ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a magnetic material. The magnetic material is a solid mass of grains, and has magnetic parameters characterized by : (1) a maximum magnetic energy product, (BH).sub.max, greater than 15 megagaussoersteds; and (2) a remanence greater than 9 kilogauss. The magnetic material is prepared by a two step solidification, heat treatment process. The solidification process is carried out by controlled vaporization of precursor elements of the alloy into an inert atmosphere, with subsequent controlled vapor phase condensation. This may be accomplished by vaporizing a precursor type alloy in a plasma torch, such as an argon torch, a hydrogen torch, or other electro-arc torch to form a particulate fine grain alloy. The resulting product of this alternative method is a particulate fine grain alloy. The solid particles have a morphology characterized as being one or more of (i) amorphous; (ii) microcrystalline; or (iii) polycrystalline. The grains within the solid have, at this stage of the process, an average grain characteristic dimension less than that of the heat treated magnetic material. In the second, or heat treating, stage of the process, the fine grain solid particles are heat treated to form a solid material comprised of grains meeting at grain boundaries. The grains and grain boundaries have the morphology of the magnetic material.
