  • Patent number: 10410777
    Abstract: An R-T-B based sintered magnet has excellent corrosion resistance together with good magnetic properties. The R-T-B based sintered magnet contains R2T14B grains, wherein, an R—Cu-M-C concentrated part is existed in a grain boundary formed between or among two or more adjacent R2T14B grains, and the concentrations of R (R is at least one from Sc, Y and the lanthanoide element), Cu, M (M is at least one from Ga, Si, Sn, Ge and Bi) and C in the R—Cu-M-C concentrated part are higher than those in the R2T14B grains respectively.
