Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides an R-T-B based sintered magnet that inhibits the demagnetization rate at high temperature even when less or no heavy rare earth elements such as Dy, Tb and the like are used. The R-T-B based sintered magnet includes R2T14B crystal grains and two-grain boundary parts between the R2T14B crystal grains. Two-grain boundary parts formed by R—Co—Cu-M-Fe phase exist, and M is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ga, Si, Sn, Ge and Bi.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An R-T-B based sintered magnet comprising R 2 T 14 B crystal grains and two-grain boundary parts between the R 2 T 14 B crystal grains, wherein said R-T-B based sintered magnet comprises the two-grain boundary parts formed by R—Co—Cu-M-Fe phase and two-grain boundary parts formed by R—Cu-M-Fe phase, and M is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ga, Si, Sn, Ge and Bi, the content of Co relative to the total mass of the R-T-B based sintered magnet is 0.4 mass % or more and 3.0 mass % or less, and A is more than B, wherein the number of the two-grain boundary parts formed by R—Co—Cu-M-Fe phase is represented by A and the number of the two-grain boundary parts formed by R—Cu-M-Fe phase is represented by B. 2. A motor comprising the R-T-B based sintered magnet according to claim 1 . 3. The R-T-B based sintered magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the two-grain boundary parts formed by R—Co—Cu-M-Fe phase is 5˜500 nm. 4. A motor comprising the R-T-B based sintered magnet according to claim 3 . 5. The R-T-B based sintered magnet according to claim 1 , wherein M is at least Ga. 6. The R-T-B based sintered magnet according to claim 1 , wherein M is at least Si. 7. The R-T-B based sintered magnet according to claim 1 , wherein M is at least Sn. 8. The R-T-B based sintered magnet according to claim 1 , wherein M is at least Ge. 9. The R-T-B based sintered magnet according to claim 1 , wherein M is at least Bi.
