Abstract
A method of producing a radially anisotropic sintered R-Fe-B-based magnet wherein R is at least one rare earth element including Y, in which a green body stack comprising a plurality of compact bodies are formed in series by the same die. The density of the compact body is regulated to 3.1 g/cm.sup.3 or more, and increased at the final compacting step to a density at least 0.2 g/cm.sup.3 higher than that before the final compacting step. By so regulating the density of the green body, the cracking during the sintering process at the binding portion, an interface between the stacked compact bodies, can be minimized while retaining high magnetic properties of the resulting magnet.
