Abstract

Disclosed are a neodymium-iron-boron magnet material, a raw material composition, a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. The raw material composition of the neodymium-iron-boron magnet material comprises the following components by mass percentage: 29.5-32.8% of R′, wherein R′ includes Pr and Nd, and Pr≥17.15%; Al≥0.5%; 0.90-1.2% of B; and 60-68% of Fe. The percentages are the mass percentages relative to the total mass of the raw material composition of the neodymium-iron-boron magnet material. Without adding a heavy rare earth element to the neodymium-iron-boron magnet material, the performance of the neodymium-iron-boron magnet material can still be significantly improved.
