To provide a method which enables the enhancement of magnet characteristics of an R-T-B based sintered magnet.SOLUTION : A method for manufacturing an R-T-B based sintered magnet comprises : a step of preparing R1-T-B based sintered magnet materials (R1 is a rare earth element, and T is Fe or a combination of Fe and Co); a step of preparing powder of an alloy including 40 mass% or more of a rare earth element R2 necessarily including at least one of Dy and Tb; a step of performing a thermal treatment on the alloy powder at a temperature in a range from a temperature lower than a melting point of the alloy powder by 250°C up to the melting point and pulverizing the resultant alloy after the thermal treatment to obtain a diffusion source from the alloy powder; and a diffusion step of setting the R1-T-B based sintered magnet materials and the diffusion source in a process chamber, and heating the R1-T-B based sintered magnet materials and the diffusion source to a temperature equal to or lower than a sintering temperature of the R1-T-B based sintered magnet materials to diffuse at least one of Dy and Tb included in the diffusion source from the surface of the R1-T-B based sintered magnet materials to inside. The alloy powder is powder produced by an atomizing method.SELECTED DRAWING : None
