BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As electric and electronic devices become more sophisticated and more compact, similar demands have been placed on permanent magnets, which are one of their components. In other words, in the past, the strongest permanent magnets were rare earth/cobalt (R-Co) based magnets, but in recent years, even stronger R-
TM-B permanent magnets have become popular (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1986-46)
No. 008). Here, R is one type or a combination of two or more rare earth elements including Y, and TM is a transition metal center such as Fe or Co, partially substituted with other metal elements or nonmetal elements, B is boron. However, R-TM-
B-series permanent magnets have the problem of being extremely susceptible to rust. Therefore, in order to improve corrosion resistance, measures have been taken to provide an oxidation-resistant coating layer on the surface of a permanent magnet. As the type of coating layer, metal plating, oxidation-resistant resin, metal coating by vapor deposition method, etc. have been proposed.In particular, metal plating is considered to improve the corrosion resistance of R-TM-B permanent magnets with simple processing. It is attracting attention (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-54406
issue). Metal plating has the advantage that the surface coating layer has superior mechanical strength compared to oxidation-resistant resin, and the coating layer itself has almost no hygroscopicity.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, unlike oxidation-resistant resins, there are pinholes on the surface of the metal plating coating layer, so moisture will accumulate over time regardless of whether or not the coating layer itself is hygroscopic. There was a problem that it penetrated into the magnet body through pinholes and caused corrosion and deterioration. Therefore, with the above method, it was not possible to sufficiently improve corrosion resistance, which was a problem. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a highly reliable R-TM-B permanent magnet with improved corrosion resistance.

The present invention also provides an upper layer with a 100% higher natural potential at 5% NaCl than the lower metal coating layer.
It is characterized by providing a metal coating layer that is more base than mV. If a metal coating layer with a noble natural potential is provided as a lower layer on the surface of the material, and a metal coating layer with a base natural potential is provided as an upper layer, due to the relationship between the two corrosion cells, corrosion will occur as the noble upper layer acts as an anode. Proceeds by dissolving. That is,
By anodizing the upper layer and generating an anode effect,
It is thought that the noble lower layer is cathodically protected from corrosion, and the underlying layer is also protected at the same time. The present invention has the above-mentioned anticorrosion effect,
This improves the corrosion resistance of R-TM-B permanent magnets. The point to note regarding the above corrosion protection effect is that the natural potential at 5% NaCl is 10% higher than that of the lower metal coating layer.
A metal coating layer with a base value of 0 mV or more is provided as an upper layer. If it is less than 100 mV, it is not preferable because the above-mentioned anticorrosion effect of the two-layer metal coating layer cannot be obtained. Therefore, the upper layer is made of 5% Na than the lower metal coating layer.
It is desirable to provide a metal coating layer that is more base than 100 mV with respect to the natural potential in Cl. In the present invention, Fe

It can also be applied to permanent magnets. Further, the manufacturing method may be a sintering method, a molten metal quenching method, or a modification thereof. Metal coating methods include electroplating,
This is done by either electroless plating or vapor deposition. An optimal coating method may be used depending on each metal, and the thickness of the metal coating layer is preferably 5 to 20 μm.

[Example] Nd(Fe0.7Co0.2B0.07Ga
An alloy having a composition of 0.03)6.5 was produced by arc melting, and the obtained ingot was coarsely ground using a stamp mill and a disc mill. Thereafter, fine pulverization was performed with a jet mill using N2 gas as a pulverizing medium to obtain fine pulverization with a pulverized particle size of 3.5 μml (FSSS). The obtained raw material powder was subjected to transverse magnetic field molding in a magnetic field of 15 KOe. The molding pressure was 2Ton/cm2. This molded body was sintered in vacuum at 1090°C for 2 hours. The sintered body was cut into a size of 18 x 10 x 6 mm, and then heated at 900°C.
After being heated and held in an argon atmosphere for 2 hours, the sample was rapidly cooled and held in an argon atmosphere at a temperature of 600°C for 1 hour. The samples thus obtained were coated with a metal coating under the conditions shown in Table 1, and used as test pieces. Sample numbers 4 to 6 are comparative examples. In the "Coating method" column, A represents electroplating and B represents electroless plating.
