An object of the present invention is to provide a Zr—Nb-based alloy material as a low-magnetic susceptibility alloy having a high corrosion resistance while maintaining a magnetic susceptibility equivalent to or less than the magnetic susceptibility of the biological alloy of the related art, a method for manufacturing the alloy material, and a Zr—Nb-based alloy product. The Zr—Nb-based alloy material according to the present invention includes, as a chemical composition, 3% by mass or more and 18% by mass or less of Nb, 12% by mass or less of Ti, 6% by mass or less of Cr, 6% by mass or less of Cu, 5% by mass or less of Bi, and a remainder consisting of Zr and unavoidable impurities, in which isothermal ω phase particles are dispersed and precipitated in β phase crystal grains of a parent phase.

A sintered magnet body (R.sub.aT.sup.1.sub.bM.sub.cB.sub.d) coated with a powder mixture of an intermetallic compound (R.sup.1.sub.iM.sup.1.sub.j, R.sup.1.sub.xT.sup.2.sub.yM.sup.1.sub.z, R.sup.1.sub.iM.sup.1.sub.jH.sub.k), alloy (M.sup.1.sub.dM.sup.2.sub.e) or metal (M.sup.1) powder and a rare earth (R.sup.2) oxide is diffusion treated. The R.sup.2 oxide is partially reduced during the diffusion treatment, so a significant amount of R.sup.2 can be introduced near interfaces of primary phase grains within the magnet through the passages in the form of grain boundaries. The coercive force is increased while minimizing a decline of remanence.

A process for manufacturing a turbomachine part coated with a thermal barrier, includes manufacturing the part by additive manufacture; electrophoretic depositing the part of a layer including particles of a ceramic material; consolidating the layer by heat treatment to obtain a ceramic coating.

A method for densifying a material includes arranging the material in a cavity of a mold and applying pressure to the material in the mold. While applying pressure to the material in the mold, a magnetic field is applied to the material in the mold to cause the material to transform between a first allotrope phase and a second allotrope phase. Applying the magnetic field to the material includes magnetic cycling, which includes one or more iterations of adjusting the magnetic field to a first strength, and then adjusting the magnetic field to a second strength. The method includes determining a density of the material during the magnetic cycling and, responsive to determination that the determined density reaches a threshold density, stopping the magnetic cycling.

A rare earth sintered magnet according to the present disclosure includes: a main phase satisfying general formula (Nd, La, Sm)—Fe—B and including crystal grains based on R.sub.2Fe.sub.14B crystal structures; and a crystalline subphase based on an oxide phase represented by (Nd, La, Sm)—O. The subphase has a higher concentration of Sm than the main phase.
