Abstract
In order to secure stable magnetic properties in a magnet alloy ribbon obtained by a melt rapid cooling method, and obtain excellent magnetic properties and corrosion resistance in a bonded magnet, the area ratio of dimple-like recesses (22) present in the surface (roll surface) of the alloy ribbon in contact with a cooling roll during solidification is defined. As a result, an alloy ribbon for a magnet having stable magnetic properties can be obtained. The use of a powder obtained by grinding such an alloy ribbon enables formation of a bonded magnet having excellent magnetic properties and corrosion resistance.
Claims6
A magnet alloy ribbon obtained by jetting a rare earth element-transition metal-boron alloy melt on a rotating metallic roll to rapidly solidify the alloy melt, wherein a total area ratio of dimple recesses after solidification, which are present in a surface of the ribbon in contact with the roll during solidification, is 3 to 25%.
