Abstract

A rare earth-iron-boron magnetic composition containing a rare earth fluoride compound in a sufficient amount to reduce or eliminate the formation of rare earth hydroxide and a method of making the same. The reduction or elimination of the formation of rare earth hydroxide substantially eliminates or significantly reduces eruptions in bonded magnets caused by volumetric expansion defects.
