Abstract
A process for producing a starting powder material for use in the fabrication of high performance R--Fe--B permanent magnets comprising an R.sub.2 Fe.sub.14 B compound as the principal phase, which is characterized by adding 70% by weight or less of a specified alloy powder for adjusting the composition comprising an R.sub.2 Fe.sub.17 compound to a specified principal phase R--Fe--B alloy powder comprising an R.sub.2 Fe.sub.14 B compound as the principal phase. This process enables production of a starting alloy powder material considerably reduced in contents of the unfavorable B-rich and R-rich phases which impair the magnetic properties of the final magnet, because the starting powder blend allows the B-rich and R-rich compounds in the principal phase alloy powder to react with the R.sub.2 Fe.sub.17 compound being incorporated in the alloy powder for adjusting the composition.
