A method for producing a sintered R-T-B based magnet includes providing at least one sintered R-T-B based magnet material (where R is a rare-earth element and T is Fe or Fe and Co); providing RH diffusion sources that include a heavy rare-earth element RH (which is Dy and/or Tb) and 30 to 80 mass % of Fe and that have a particle size between 53 μm and 5600 μm; arranging the magnet material and the RH diffusion sources in a process vessel so that some of the RH diffusion sources are in contact with the magnet material; performing an RH diffusion process by heat treating in an inert ambient at a pressure of 5000 Pa or less and at a temperature of 800° C. to 1000° C.; and separating the RH diffusion sources from the magnet material.
