Patent ID: 11315710

Abstract:
An R—Fe—B base sintered magnet is provided consisting essentially of R (which is at least two rare earth elements and essentially contains Nd and Pr), M1 which is at least two of Si, Al, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Pt, Au, Hg, Pb, and Bi, M2 which is at least one of Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W, boron, and the balance of Fe, and containing an intermetallic compound R2(Fe,(Co))14B as a main phase. The magnet contains an R—Fe(Co)-M1 phase as a grain boundary phase, the R—Fe(Co)-M1 phase contains A phase which is crystalline with crystallites of at least 10 nm formed at grain boundary triple junctions, and B phase which is amorphous and/or nanocrystalline with crystallites of less than 10 nm formed at intergranular grain boundaries and optionally grain boundary triple junctions.
