Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A permanent magnet includes R and T (R essentially includes Sm one or more of rare earth elements in addition to Sm, and T essentially includes Fe, or Fe and Co, one or more of transition metal elements in addition to Fe, or Fe and Co). A composition ratio of R in the permanent magnet is 20 at % or more and 40 at % or less. A remaining part is substantially only T, or only T and C. T amount is more than 1.5 times of R amount and less than 4.0 times of the R amount. Main phase grains included in the permanent magnet have an Nd5Fe17 type crystal structure. An average crystal grain size of the main phase grains of the permanent magnet is greater than 1 μm. A number ratio of main phase grains having a crystal grain size of less than 0.4 μm is less than 20%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A permanent magnet comprising R and T, R being essentially Sm or being at least one selected from rare earth elements in addition to Sm, and T being essentially Fe or a combination of Fe and Co or being at least one selected from transition metal elements in addition to Fe or the combination of Fe and Co, wherein a composition ratio of R in the permanent magnet is 20 at % or more and 40 at % or less, a remaining part is substantially only T, or only T and C, T amount is more than 1.5 times of R amount and less than 4.0 times of the R amount, main phase grains included in the permanent magnet have an Nd 5 Fe 17 type crystal structure, an average crystal grain size of the main phase grains of the permanent magnet is greater than 1 μm, and a number ratio of main phase grains having a crystal grain size of less than 0.4 μm is less than 20%, and C amount is 0 at % or more and 15.4 at % or less. 2. The permanent magnet according to claim 1 , wherein C amount is more than 0 at % and 15 at % or less. 3. The permanent magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the average crystal grain size of the main phase grains is greater than 1 μm and less than 10 μm. 4. A permanent magnet powder comprising R and T, R being essentially Sm or being at least one selected from rare earth elements in addition to Sm, and T being essentially Fe or a combination of Fe and Co or being at least one selected from transition metal elements in addition to Fe or the combination of Fe and Co, wherein a composition ratio of R in the permanent magnet powder is 20 at % or more and 40 at % or less, a remaining part is substantially only T, or only T and C, T amount is more than 1.5 times of R amount and less than 4.0 times of the R amount, main phase grains included in the permanent magnet powder have an Nd 5 Fe 17 type crystal structure, an average crystal grain size of the main phase grains of the permanent magnet powder is more than 1 μm, and a number ratio of main phase grains having a crystal grain size of less than 0.4 μm is less than 20%, and C amount is 0 at % or more and 15.4 at % or less. 5. The permanent magnet powder according to claim 4 , wherein C amount is more than 0 at % and 15 at % or less. 6. The permanent magnet according to claim 4 , wherein the average crystal grain size of the main phase grains is greater than 1 μm and less than 10 μm. 7. An anisotropic bond magnet, including: the permanent magnet powder according to claim 4 ; and a resin. 8. An anisotropic sintered magnet comprising the permanent magnet powder according to claim 4 .
