Abstract:
1. A bond magnet obtained by kneading a ferritic magnetic powder with a binder and molding the kneaded material to a desired shape, wherein the magnetic powder is composed of a mixture of a fine ferrite magnetic powder and a coarse ferrite powder, each ferrite powder comprising an alkaline earth metal as a constituent element, the bond magnet characterized in that by adoption of such mixing condition that a fine ferrite powder of an average particle diameter of greater than 0.50 to 1.0 μm and a coarse powder of the ferrite of an average particle diameter of greater than 2.50 to 5.0 μm are mixed with each other at a ratio to incorporate the fine powder at a content ratio of 15-40 wt. %, a shearing load received during above the kneading step and ensuing molding imparting a strain to the powder is lowered, thereby mitigating a decline in coercive force of the magnet.
