ABSTRACT:
Process and apparatus for forming plasma sprayed high density, high coercivity permanent magnet material and permanent magnets formed therefrom. The plasma sprayed permanent magnet material is obtained in a substantially amorphous state resulting from specifically controlled plasma spray parameters. The amorphous deposition possesses high coercivity, density and potential residual magnetism. The as-sprayed magnetic material is preferably heat treated and then densified to nearly maximum theoretical density. The amorphous structure permits retention of substantially all of the coercivity after heat treatment as well as densification to well over 95% of maximum theoretical density. In addition, magnetic materials, preferably fabricated in accordance with this plasma spraying technique as an amorphous deposit of permanent magnet material, are aligned in a magnetic field and thermally aged to produce permanent magnets in the presence of a thermal gradient or mechanical strain resulting in a high coercivity permanent magnet. Controlled crystalline deposits may also be utilized as the starting material for fabrication of the aligned magnets. The invention has application primarily with the use of permanent magnets formed of rare earth-cobalt alloys and in particular of samarium-cobalt alloys.
