| 摘要 |
Disclosed herein is a sintered magnet motor having a sintered magnet rotor, the rotor comprising: a ferromagnetic material comprising iron as a main ingredient to be sintered; a fluorine compound or an oxyfluoride compound formed in the inside of a crystal grain or to a portion of a grain boundary of the ferromagnetic material; and at least one of alkalis, alkaline earth elements, and rare earth elements contained in the fluorine compound or the oxyfluoride compound; a portion of the fluorine compound or the oxyfluoride compound being distributed with a concentration gradient established from the surface to the inside of the ferromagnetic material, and a rare earth element being distributed with a concentration gradient established between the grain boundary surface and the parent phase of the ferromagnetic material, wherein the concentration distribution of the fluorine compound is asymmetrical when viewed from the pole center of the sintered magnet rotor. The amount of use of a fluorine compound can be decreased in this sintered magnet motor.
