Abstract

An R-T-B based permanent magnet in which R is a rare earth element, T is Fe and Co, and B is boron. R at least includes Dy. The R-T-B based permanent magnet includes M, and M is at least one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ga, Al, Mn, Zr, Ti, Cr, Ni, Nb, Ag, Hf, Ta, W, Si, Bi, and Sn. M at least includes Cu. A total content of R is 28.0 mass % to 30.2 mass %, a content of Dy is 1.0 mass % to 6.5 mass %, a content of Cu is 0.04 mass % to 0.50 mass %, a content of Co is 0.5 mass % to 3.0 mass %, and a content of B is 0.85 mass % to 0.95 mass %.

Claims (21)

1. An R-T-B based permanent magnet comprising M,

wherein,

R is a rare earth element, T is Fe and Co, and B is boron,

R at least includes Dy,

M is one or more elements selected from Cu, Ga, Al, Mn, Zr, T1, Cr, Ni, Nb, Ag, Hf, Ta, W, Si, Bi, and Sn,

M at least includes Cu and Mn,

relative to 100 mass % of the total mass of R, T, B, and M, a total content of R is 29.2 mass % to 30.2 mass %, a content of Dy is 2.5 mass % to 6.5 mass %, a content of Cu is 0.04 mass % to 0.50 mass %, a content of Ga is 0.25 mass % to 0.30 mass %, a content of Mn is 0.02 mass % to 0.10 mass %, a content of Co is 1.0 mass % to 2.0 mass %, and a content of B is 0.85 mass % to 0.95 mass %,

a content of O in the R-T-B based permanent magnet is 350 ppm or more to 800 ppm or less, and a content of C in the R-T-B based permanent magnet is 900 ppm or more to 1100 ppm or less, and

wherein,

the magnet has the following properties before diffusion of a heavy rare earth element:

Br≥1240 mT, HcJ≥1400 kA/m, PI≥1630 and Hk/HcJ≥95.0%, in which Br represents residual magnetic flux density, HcJ represents coercivity, PI represents performance index and is calculated by the equation PI=Br+25×HcJ×4π/2,000, and Hk/HcJ represents the squareness ratio.

2. The R-T-B based permanent magnet according to claim 1 , wherein R at least includes Nd.

3. The R-T-B based permanent magnet according to claim 2 , wherein R at least includes Pr, and a content of Pr is more than 0 and 10.0 mass % or less.

4. The R-T-B based permanent magnet according to claim 3 , wherein an atomic ratio of TRE/B is 2.19 to 2.60, where TRE is the total content of R.

5. The R-T-B based permanent magnet according to claim 2 , wherein an atomic ratio TRE/B is 2.19 to 2.60, where TRE is the total content of R.

6. The R-T-B based permanent magnet according to claim 1 , wherein R at least includes Pr, and a content of Pr is more than 0 and 10.0 mass % or less.

7. The R-T-B based permanent magnet according to claim 6 , wherein an atomic ratio of TRE/B is 2.19 to 2.60, where TRE is the total content of R.

8. The R-T-B based permanent magnet according to claim 1 , wherein an atomic ratio of TRE/B is 2.19 to 2.60, where TRE is the total content of R.

9. The R-T-B based permanent magnet according to claim 1 , wherein an atomic ratio of Pr/TRE is 0 or more and less than 0.25, where TRE is the total content of R.

10. The R-T-B based permanent magnet according to claim 1 , wherein an atomic ratio of 14B/(Fe+Co) is larger than 0 and 1.01 or less.

11. An R-T-B based permanent magnet in which the R-T-B based permanent magnet according to claim 1 has been subjected to diffusion of a heavy rare earth element.
