Abstract
The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a semi-hard magnetic material comprising, sequentially: preparing a raw material consisting essentially of 10.0 to 25.0% of Ni, 2.0 to 6.0% of Mo and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, in mass %; heat-treating or hot-working the raw material so that it has not less than 90% of martensitic structure; cold-working the material at a reduction of area of not less than 50% so that it has an extended structure including not less than 95% of a martensitic structure; and heat-treating the material in a range of 400 to 570° C. so as to generate more than 0% but less than 30.0% of reverse-transformed austenitic structure. The semi-hard magnetic material manufactured using this method can possess a coercive force of 1000 to 5600 A/m.
