The possibility of fabrication of granulate based on an alloy of the Fe – Cr – Co system with reduced (7 – 10%) cobalt content for synthesizing permanent magnets by the MIM process is considered. A multicomponent granulate composition (polyformaldehyde, high-pressure polyethylene, stearic acid, beeswax) of spherical powders of the Fe – Cr – Co alloy with reduced cobalt content is produced by gas sputtering (average particle diameter 4.2 μm, degree of polydispersity 0.75). The microstructure of the granulate and its granulometric composition are studied. The characteristics of the granulate (the mean diameter of the particles, their morphology and degree of polydispersity) exceed qualitatively the characteristics of the Catamold 42CrMo4 high-quality granulate produced by the BAFS Company.
