Latest Patents
John Ormerod holds a patent for his invention titled "Rare earth anisotropic magnetic materials for polymer bonded magnets." This invention relates to a process for producing a non-pyrophoric, corrosion-resistant rare earth-containing material. The material is capable of being formed into a polymer bonded permanent magnet. The process involves forming particles from a rare earth-containing alloy and treating the alloy with a passivating gas, such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, at a temperature below the phase transformation temperature of the alloy. The heat treatment of the alloy results in a material with a coercivity of at least 1,000 Oersteds. The invention utilizes rare earth-containing alloys, such as Nd--Fe--B and Sm--Co alloys, to produce high-performance magnets.
