Abstract

Abstract A permanent magnet according to the present invention is characterized in that it is composed of an alloy comprising mainly of iron, and R (at least one element from rare earth element and yttrium), cobalt, and boron as the remainder, wherein the alloy is formed principally of ferromagnetic Fe-rich phase of tetragonal system and includes a nonmagnetic laves phase. Compared with the prior rare earth-Fe based magnet, it has higher Curie temperature and has excellent magnetic characteristics, especially the temperature characteristics.
