PURPOSE: To improve coercive force and maximum energy product by blending specific amounts of elements each selected from the group consisting of B, C, N, Si, and P and the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs with rare earth element-Fe-Co.
CONSTITUTION: A permanent magnet material has a composition satisfying a composition formula R1-x-y-z-αFexCoyXzMα: where R is a combination of 1 or ≤2 kinds among rare earth elements including Y; X means one or more elements among B, C, N, Si, and P; M means one or more elements among Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs; and, as to the symbols 'x', 'y', 'z', and 'α', 0.50≤x≤0.85, 0≤y≤0.20, 0.01≤z≤0.15, and 0.015≤α≤0.05. Owing to the above composition, magnetic properties such as coercive force, maximum energy product, etc., are improved and permanent magnets can be made highly efficient.
