A system and method are described for post-processing a 3D printed component. For example, support structures for the 3D printed component may be removed during post-processing. In the system and method, a first image of a component is stored in memory. A second image of a 3D printed component corresponding to the component is also captured. One or more cutting paths between the 3D printed component and the support structures is then determined based on the first image and the second image. The 3D printed component may then be autonomously separated from the support structures by cutting through the cutting path.

The present disclosure provides a method for producing a magnetic powder and the use of a waste magnetic material for producing isotropic or anisotropic magnets. The method including providing a waste magnetic material including a waste magnetic chemical composition, analyzing the waste magnetic material to obtain information about the waste magnetic chemical composition thereof, adjusting the waste magnetic chemical composition to a target magnetic chemical composition to obtain an adjusted waste magnetic material, and atomizing the adjusted waste magnetic material to obtain the magnetic powder.

Method for producing a magnetic powder

A manufacturing method of a sintered magnet is described. The method includes forming a pre-sintering body from a first magnetic powder and a second magnetic powder (containing a heavy rare earth element, HRE) so that at least part of the second magnetic powder is provided at at least one inner portion of the pre-sintering body and surrounded format least two opposite sides by the first magnetic powder; sintering the pre-sintering body; and annealing the sintered pre-sintering body at an annealing temperature lower than the sintering temperature, thereby causing inter-grain diffusion of HRE from the HRE reservoir zone to the grain boundary phase. After the annealing, the grain boundary phase contains the HRE in a higher concentration than the main phase.

Permanent magnet with inter-grain heavy-rare-earth element, and method of producing same

A method for manufacturing a multicomponent permanent magnet, and a multicomponent permanent magnet are proposed. The multicomponent permanent magnet has a first permanent magnet having a R-T-B-composition, wherein R is at least one selected from the group consisting of Y, Ce, La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Gd and T is one or more transition metal elements including Fe; and a second permanent magnet having a R-T-B-composition, wherein R is at least one selected from the group consisting of Y, Ce, La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Gd and T is one or more transition metal elements including Fe, the second magnet including at least one of a heavy rare earth element (HRE) and an increased amount of Ce and/or Co, the second magnet having different magnetic properties, in particular a higher coercivity, than the first magnet. The first magnet and the second magnet are connected mechanically, wherein the connection is electrically conductive with an adjusted electrical resistivity.

Multicomponent magnet assemblies for electrical machines

A sintered magnet, the sintered magnet including a core portion, a shell portion arranged at an outer part of the sintered magnet, and a diffusion portion arranged at least partially between the core portion and the shell portion. The shell portion has a coercivity, which is at least 30 kA/m larger than the coercivity of the core portion. In the diffusion portion, the coercivity is not less than the coercivity of the core portion and not larger than the coercivity of the shell portion and the value of the coercivity gradually increases from the core portion towards the shell portion. The thickness of the core portion is not less than 1 mm and the total thickness of the shell portion and the diffusion portion is at least 5 mm.

This application concerns a magnet having a magnet body as well as a method for manufacturing such a magnet. The magnet body has a first region with first magnetic properties and a second region with second magnetic properties that are different to the first properties. Owing to the manufacturing process of the magnet body, the relative location of the first region and the second region within the magnet body is freely predeterminable.
