Abstract
A rare earth permanent magnet is in the form of a sintered magnet body having a composition RRTAFOMwherein F and Rare distributed such that their concentration increases on the average from the center toward the surface of the magnet body, and grain boundaries having a concentration of R/(R+R) which is on the average higher than the concentration of R/(R+R) contained in primary phase grains of (R,R)TA tetragonal system form a three-dimensional network structure which is continuous from the magnet body surface to a depth of at least 10 μm. The invention provides R—Fe—B sintered magnets which exhibit a high coercive force.
