Abstract:
1. A method for producing rare earth sintered magnets, the method comprising the steps of: (a) pressing and compacting an alloy powder for the rare earth sintered magnets, thereby preparing a plurality of green compacts; (b) arranging the green compacts on a receiving plane in a direction in which a projection area of each said green compact onto the receiving plane is not maximized; and (c) heating the green compacts within a reduced-pressure atmosphere, thereby sintering the green compacts and obtaining a plurality of sintered bodies; wherein step (b) includes the step of arranging the green compacts on the receiving plane so that the green compacts are in contact with each other in a horizontal direction; and step (b) includes the step of applying an anti-fusing agent composed of a slurry in which a Y
