Abstract
The iron-based rare-earth nanocomposite magnet of the present invention has a composition TQRTiM, where T is Fe or a transition metal element in which Fe is partially replaced by Co and/or Ni; Q is B and/or C; R is at least one rare-earth element including substantially no La or Ce; and M is at least one metal element selected from Al, Si, V, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ga, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ag, Hf, Ta, W, Pt, Au and Pb. x, y, z and n satisfy 5≦x≦10 at %, 7≦y≦10 at %, 0.1≦z≦5 at % and 0≦n≦10 at %, respectively. The magnet includes RFeB-type compound phases and α —Fe phases forming a magnetically coupled nanocomposite magnet structure. The RFeB-type compound phases have an average crystal grain size of 30 nm to 300 nm and the α —Fe phases have an average crystal grain size of 1 nm to 20 nm. The magnet has magnetic properties including a coercivity of at least 400 kA/m and a remanence of at least 0.9 T.
