Abstrakt: Anisotropic Nd(Fe,Co)B type sintered permanent magnets were fabricated by powder injection moulding (PIM) using paraffin wax as a binder. A conventional process was also used in order to compare the resultant properties with those of sintered magnets produced by PIM. Magnetic properties, microstructure, and constituents were investigated by dc fluxmeter, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, wavelength dispersive X-ray analysis, and ir absorption analysis. Effects of particle alignment of the sintered magnets on the magnetic properties and anisometric linear shrinkage ratios were studied. Particle alignment of sintered magnets produced by PIM was 4% lower than that of the conventional process. The PIM sintered magnet exhibited a maximum energy product of 232 kJ m−3. The residual carbon after debinding affected the magnetic properties and sintering characteristics by contaminating the liquid phase during PIM sintering. PM/0782
