  • Patent number: 10755840
    Abstract: An R-T-B based sintered magnet includes “R”, “T”, and “B”. “R” represents a rare earth element. “T” represents a metal element other than rare earth elements including at least Fe, Cu, Mn, Al, Co, Ga, and Zr. “B” represents boron or boron and carbon. With respect to 100 mass % of a total mass of the R-T-B based sintered magnet, a content of “R” is 28.0 to 31.5 mass %, a content of Cu is 0.04 to 0.50 mass %, a content of Mn is 0.02 to 0.10 mass %, a content of Al is 0.15 to 0.30 mass %, a content of Co is 0.50 to 3.0 mass %, a content of Ga is 0.08 to 0.30 mass %, a content of Zr is 0.10 to 0.25 mass %, and a content of “B” is 0.85 to 1.0 mass %.

  • Patent number: 10748683
    Abstract: An R-T-B based sintered magnet includes “R”, “T”, and “B”. “R” represents a rare earth element including at least Tb. “T” represents a metal element except rare earth elements including at least Fe, Cu, Mn, Al, and Co. “B” represents boron or boron and carbon. With respect to 100 mass % of a total mass of the R-T-B based sintered magnet, a content of “R” is 28.0 to 32.0 mass %, a content of Cu is 0.04 to 0.50 mass %, a content of Mn is 0.02 to 0.10 mass %, a content of Al is 0.15 to 0.30 mass %, a content of Co is 0.50 to 3.0 mass %, and a content of “B” is 0.85 to 1.0 mass %. Tb2/Tb1 is 0.40 to less than 1.0, where Tb1 and Tb2 (mass %) denote a content of Tb at a surface portion and at a core portion, respectively.

  • Patent number: 10242777
    Abstract: Provided is a sintered magnet that is an R-T-B based sintered magnet having a region having a concentration of at least one heavy rare earth element decreasing from the surface toward the inside, in which the at least one heavy rare earth element includes at least either of Tb or Dy, R includes Nd, T includes Fe, Co, and Cu, there is a grain boundary phase containing at least either of Tb or Dy and Nd between two main phase particles, and a value obtained by subtracting a half value width of a concentration distribution curve of Cu from a half value width of a concentration distribution curve of Tb or Dy in a part including the grain boundary phase is from 10 to 20 nm.
