Patent ID: 11189405

Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a composite permanent magnet includes a matrix of magnetically hard phase grains having an average grain size of 10 nm to 50 μm; and magnetically soft phase grains embedded within the matrix, and having an average grain size of at least 50 nm, each grain having an elongated shape with an aspect ratio of at least 2:1. According to another embodiment, a composite permanent magnet includes a matrix of magnetically hard phase grains having an average grain size of 10 nm to 50 μm; and magnetically soft phase grains embedded within the matrix, and having an average grain width of at least 50 nm, an average grain height of 20 to 500 nm, and an aspect ratio of at least 2:1. According to yet another embodiment, a method of forming a composite permanent magnet is also provided.
