20080257716Coating Method and Apparatus, a Permanent Magnet, and Manufacturing Method Thereof - A film is formed at a high rate on the surface of an iron-boron-rare-earth-metal magnet having a given shape, while effectively using dysprosium or terbium as a film-forming material. Thus, productivity is improved and a permanent magnet can be produced at low cost. A permanent magnet is produced through a film formation step in which a film of dysprosium is formed on the surface of an iron-boron-rare-earth-metal magnet of a given shape and a diffusion step in which the magnet coated is subjected to a heat treatment at a given temperature to cause the dysprosium deposited on the surface to diffuse into the grain boundary phase of the magnet. The film formation step comprises: a first step in which a treating chamber where this film formation is performed is heated to vaporize dysprosium which has been disposed in this treating chamber and thereby form a dysprosium vapor atmosphere having a given vapor pressure in the treating chamber; and a second step in which a magnet kept at a temperature lower than the internal temperature of the treating chamber is introduced into this treating chamber and the dysprosium is selectively deposited on the magnet surface based on a temperature difference between the treating chamber and the magnet until the magnet temperature reaches a given value.10-23-2008
20100159129COATING METHOD AND APPARATUS, A PERMANENT MAGNET, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - The object of the present invention is to improve the productivity of a permanent magnet and to manufacture it at a low cost by effectively coating Dy and Tb on a surface of the magnet of Fe—B-rare earth elements having a predetermined configuration. The permanent magnet of the present invention is manufactured by a coating step for coating Dy on the surface of the magnet of Fe—B-rare earth elements having a predetermined configuration and a diffusing step for diffusing Dy coated on the surface of the magnet into crystal grain boundary phases of the magnet with being heat treated at a predetermined temperature. In this case, the coating step comprises a first step for heating a process chamber used for carrying out the coating step and generating metallic vapor atmosphere within the process chamber by vaporizing vaporizable metallic material previously arranged within the process chamber, and a second step for introducing into the process chamber the magnet held at a temperature lower than that within the process chamber and then selectively depositing the vaporizable metallic material on a surface of the magnet by an effect of temperature difference between the temperature within the process chamber and that of the magnet by the magnet reaches a predetermined temperature.06-24-2010
