Abstract
The invention provides an R—Fe—B sintered magnet consisting essentially of 12-17 at % of R, 0.1-3 at % of M, 0.05-0.5 at % of M, 4.8+2*m to 5.9+2*m at % of B, and the balance of Fe, containing R(Fe,(Co))B intermetallic compound as a main phase, and having a core/shell structure that the main phase is covered with a HR-rich layer and a (R,HR)—Fe(Co)-Mphase wherein HR is Tb, Dy or Ho. The sintered magnet exhibits a coercivity ≧10 kOe despite a low content of Dy, Tb, and Ho.
