Rare-earth bonded magnet, material and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A material for a rare-earth bonded magnet is prepared by coating a rare-earth magnetic powder with a heat resisting addition polymerizable thermosetting resin consisting essentially of a monomer or polymer of 2,2-bis(cyanatophenyl) propane in an amount of not more than 2 wt % based on the weight of the magnetic powder. The oxidation of the rare-earth magnetic powder is thereby prevented or retarded by triazine rings formed in the coating film of the heat resisting addition polymerizable thermosetting resin. A rare-earth bonded magnet having improved heat resistance is prepared by agglomerating the coated rare-earth magnetic powder with a binder. The heat resistance of the bonded magnet is further improved by curing the heat resisting addition polymerizable thermosetting resin in a vacuum and by adding an organometallic salt as a metallic catalyst, to thereby improve the integrity of the coating film.
