Abstract

A sintered Fe-Cr-Co type magnetic alloy consisting essentially of 20-35% Cr, 3-15% Co and the balance substantially of Fe and a method of producing an article made of the alloy are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of blending at least one of an Fe-Cr powder and Fe-Cr-Co powder with a carbonyl Fe-powder and a Co-powder, if necessary to make up to said alloy composition, to provide a powder blend, the average particle size of said Fe-Cr powder and Fe-Cr-Co powder being 200 mesh or smaller in size, and the surface of these powders having been activated; compacting the resulting powder blend to provide a compact; sintering the resulting compact in an atmosphere in which the total amount of oxygen and nitrogen has been restricted to not more than 3 ppm; and effecting the heat treatment and magnetization of the resulting sintered alloy.
