A method for manufacturing a powder magnetic core according to an aspect includes filling a case with a soft magnetic powder obtained by pulverizing a soft magnetic foil having an amorphous structure or a nanocrystal structure, applying at least one of a vibration and a magnetic field to the soft magnetic powder contained in the case and thereby aligning the soft magnetic powder, and injecting a curable resin into the case, impregnating the aligned soft magnetic powder with the curable resin, and then curing the curable resin while deaerating the curable resin under a reduced pressure.

This disclosure provides alloy compositions comprising the main constituent elements iron, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, and chromium. In one embodiment, the alloy comprises 10.0 to 30.0 wt % iron; 30.0 to 60.0 wt % nickel; 10.0 to 25.0 wt % cobalt; 1.0 to 15.0 wt % molybdenum; 15.0 to 25.0 wt % chromium by weight; where the sum of iron and nickel is at least 50 wt %; and, where the balance comprises minor elements, the total amount of minor elements being about 5% or less by weight. The alloy compositions have use as coatings to protect metals and alloys from corrosion in extreme environments where corrosion is a major concern such as with exposure to sea water or sea water with CO.sub.2.

A method for effectively removing minute impurities of 1 m or less in size that are present on a surface of an aluminum nitride single-crystal substrate without etching the surface includes scrubbing a surface of an aluminum nitride single-crystal substrate using a polymer compound material having lower hardness than an aluminum nitride single crystal, and an alkali aqueous solution having 0.01-1 mass % concentration of potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, the alkali aqueous solution being absorbed in the polymer compound material.

A rare earth magnet includes main phase grains having an R.sub.2T.sub.14B type crystal structure. The main phase grains include B. A concentration ratio A (A=B/B) of the main phase grains is 1.05 or more, where B and B are respectively a highest concentration of B and a lowest concentration of B in one main phase grain.

A YFe ferromagnetic alloy formed by a rapid quenching process, in which a Fe element is not substituted partially or entirely by a structure stabilization element, has high magnetization, but still has a magnetic anisotropy that is too small for practical use. The present invention teaches that Gd is substituted partially for a binary system YFe or a ternary system YFeCo as a main composition, thereby a magnetic anisotropic magnetic field can be increased, and Gd is substituted partially for a quaternary system YSmFeCo, thereby a magnetic anisotropic magnetic field does not vary or is reduced.

Provided is a novel sintered oil-impregnated bearing superior in wear resistance and cost performance under a severe use condition where the bearing collides with a shaft due to a high load and vibration, such as a condition associated with an output shaft of an electric motor installed in a vehicle and a wiper motor installed therein. The sintered oil-impregnated bearing contains: 15 to 30% by mass of Cu; 1 to 4% by mass of C; and a remainder consisting of Fe and inevitable impurities, in which a metal structure with copper being melted therein is provided at least on a bearing surface; pearlite or a pearlite with ferrite being partially scattered therein is provided in a matrix; a copper-rich phase arranged in a mesh-like manner is also provided in the matrix; and a free graphite is dispersed and distributed in the matrix as well.
