Procedure and device for the production of a granulated rare-earth metal alloy powder and procedure

A method of making a rare-earth alloy granulated powder according to the present invention includes the steps of : preparing a rare-earth alloy powder; generating remnant magnetization in the powder; and granulating the powder by utilizing agglomeration force produced by the remnant magnetization of the powder. Since the agglomeration force produced by the remnant magnetization is utilized, the addition of a granulating agent may be omitted.
