Abstract

L'invention concerne un aimant permanent à éléments des terres rares en alliage de R-T-B, qui comprend un produit fritté dont la phase principale comprend une phase R2T14B dans laquelle R représente un ou plusieurs éléments des terres rares, y compris Y; et T représente un ou plusieurs éléments des métaux de transition, y compris Fe ou Fe et Co. Le produit fritté comprend également une phase de joint de grain présentant une teneur du R supérieure à celle de la phase principale. Un produit riche en Zr et ayant la forme d'une plaque ou d'une aiguille est présent dans la phase R2T14B. L'aimant permanent à éléments des terres rares en alliage de R-T-B contenant les éléments ci-dessus autorise la suppression du grossissement des grains et la réduction au minimum de la dégradation des caractéristiques magnétiques, ainsi que l'élargissement de la gamme des températures de frittage.
