Abstract
R-T-B-based rare earth magnet particles are produced by an HDDR treatment which comprises a first stage HD step of heating particles of a raw material alloy having a composition of R, B and Co in an inert atmosphere or in a vacuum atmosphere and then replacing the atmosphere with a hydrogen-containing gas atmosphere in which the raw material alloy particles are held in the same temperature range and a second stage HD step of heating a material obtained in the first stage HD step in which the material is held in the hydrogen-containing gas atmosphere.
