Abstract

A rare earth metal-iron group metal target for a magneto-optical disk is produced by mixing powder (a) produced by the rapid quenching treatment of an alloy composed of at least one rare earth metal and at least one iron group metal in a composition range which permits the formation of an eutectic structure, with powder (b) from at least one iron group metal in an amount necessary for meeting the composition requirements of the target; and subjecting the resulting mixture to pressure sintering in vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere at a temperature lower than a liquid phase-appearing temperature of the mixture to produce a rare earth metal-iron group metal intermetallic bonding layer between the particles.
