  • Patent number: 11783973
    Abstract: An R-T-B based permanent magnet in which R is a rare earth element, T is Fe or a combination of Fe and Co, B is boron, and further includes M. The R-T-B based permanent magnet includes main phase grains consisting of R2T14B phase. M at least includes Ga and Zr. The R-T-B based permanent magnet further includes C and O. R content is 29.0 mass % to 33.0 mass %, B content is 0.85 mass % to 1.05 mass %, Ga content is 0.30 mass % to 1.20 mass %, 0 content is 0.03 mass % to 0.20 mass %, and C content is 0.03 mass % to 0.30 mass %. Further, the R-T-B based permanent magnet satisfies 3.48m(B)?2.67?m(Zr)?3.48m(B)?1.87 in which m(B) (mass %) is B content and m(Zr) (mass %) is Zr content.

  • Patent number: 11398327
    Abstract: An alloy for R-T-B based permanent magnet in which R is a rare earth element, T is a combination of Fe and Co, and B is boron. R includes one or more selected from Nd, Pr, Dy, and Tb. The alloy for R-T-B based permanent magnet includes M and C. M is one or more selected from Al, Cu, Zr, and Ga. Relative to 100 mass % of the alloy for R-T-B based permanent magnet, a total content of Nd, Pr, Dy, and Tb is 28.00 mass % or more and 34.00 mass % or less, Co content is 0.05 mass % or more and 3.00 mass % or less, B content is 0.70 mass % or more and 0.95 mass % or less, C content is 0.12 mass % or more and 0.19 mass % or less, a total content of M is more than 0 mass % and 4.00 mass % or less, and Fe is a substantial balance.

  • Patent number: 10964463
    Abstract: Provided is an alloy for R-T-B based rare earth magnet. “R” is one or more of a rare earth element, ‘T’ is one or more of a transition metal element essentially including Fe or Fe and Co, and “B” is boron. The alloy includes a single or a plural number of main phase (A), having a minimum length of 10 ?m or more and a maximum length of 30 ?m or more and 300 ?m or less, in a cross section cut along a thickness direction of the alloy. The main phase (A) includes an R2T14B phase, and an area ratio of the main phase (A) to an entire cross section is 2% or more and 60% or less.
