Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for producing plate-shaped permanent magnets by extrusion struggle to achieve high magnetic properties while maintaining productivity, material yield, and cost-effectiveness, with existing techniques like upsetting, extrusion, and rolling each having their own limitations.

Innovation Solution

A process involving the extrusion of a preform to form a plate-shaped permanent magnet, where the cross-sectional dimension is reduced in the X-direction and enlarged in the Y-direction, achieving a strain ratio of 0.2 to 3.5, which results in magnetic properties comparable to or exceeding those of magnets produced by upsetting, and optimizing the extrusion die design to control strain ratios for improved magnetic anisotropy.

AI summary

The present invention relates to a process of producing a permanent magnet, which includes extruding a preform to form a plate-shaped permanent magnet, in which the preform is extruded in such a way that a dimension of a cross section of the preform is reduced in an X-direction and enlarged in a Y-direction perpendicular to the X-direction. The present invention also relates to a plate-shaped permanent magnet formed by extruding a preform, in which the preform is extruded in such a way that a dimension of a cross section of the preform is reduced in an X-direction and enlarged in a Y-direction perpendicular to the X-direction, whereby the permanent magnet has a strain ratio ε2/ε1 with respect to the preform in a range of 0.2 to 3.5, in which ε1 is a strain in the direction of the extrusion of the preform and ε2 is a strain in the Y-direction.
