Hitachi’s Issued Patents: From Rare Earth Magnets to Pedestrian Recognition Systems
February 9, 2015
Rare earth metals are the subject of one of Hitachi’s recently issued patents which we took note of today. U.S. Patent No. 8945318, which is titled R-Fe-B Type Rare Earth Sintered Magnet and Process for Production of the Same, discusses an innovation meant to achieve deeper diffusion of rare earth metals within a magnet body to produce a more even coercivity, or resistance to changes in magnetization in a magnetic material, throughout the magnet. This patent claims a rare earth sintered magnet that includes crystal grains of an R2Fe14B compound where R is a rare earth metal such as neodymium or praseodymium. The crystal grains include a heavy rare earth diffused layer measuring 0.5 micrometers (µm) where the heavy rare earth is dysprosium, holmium or terbium.
