The invention relates to a method of making permanent magnets, especially rare-earth ion permanent magnets composed of compacted Fe-B-R type alloy particles. Accordingly, the method provides compacting the magnetic particles into a desired shape having voids between some of the compacted particles. The voids between the particles are filled with a sealing agent and the compact is further coated with either an organic coating or metallic coating.

Rare earth-iron magnet

A rare earth-iron permanent magnet is comprised of compacted Re-B-R type alloy particles in which R represents at least one element selected from rare earth elements and yttrium. The magnet has a sealing agent filling voids between the compacted Fe-B-R type alloy particles and a coating layer formed on outer surfaces thereof. The coating layer is formed by coating the surfaces wrought in a desired magnet shape.
