The present invention relates to a Ce-containing sintered rare earth permanent magnet with high toughness and high coercivity and a method of preparing the magnet, belonging to the technical field of rare earth permanent magnetic materials. The magnet is prepared by steps of raw material batching, strip casting, hydrogen decrepitation and jet milling, powder orientating and forming, sintering and heat treatment. The materials of the permanent magnet comprise the main phase alloy powders and the Ce added phase alloy powders, wherein the Ce added phase alloy is a magnetic phase or a non-magnetic liquid-phase alloy; and the Ce added phase alloy accounts for 5% to 30% of the total weight of the permanent magnet, and the remainder is the main phase alloy. During the jet milling stage, a certain concentration of oxygen is added into the inert gas, so that the final magnet has an oxygen content of 1500 to 2500 ppm. The Ce-containing dual-alloy magnet prepared in accordance with the present invention has high coercivity, and the intrinsic coercivity (H.sub.cj) is up to 17 to 28.73 kOe. The magnet of the present invention has good fracture toughness which is increased by 10% to 30% as compared with the conventional Nd—Fe—B sintered magnet. The magnet of the present invention can meet needs of high-end applications such as wind power generation, new energy vehicles, and the like, and greatly expands the application fields of Ce-containing magnets.

An anisotropic bonded magnet and a preparation method thereof are provided. By stacking magnets having different magnetic properties and/or densities, the magnets in the middle have high properties and the magnets at two ends and/or the periphery have low properties, thereby compensating for a property deviation caused by a difference in pressing densities during a pressing process, and improving the property uniformity of the magnets in an axial direction. The method solves the problem of “low in the middle and high at two ends” caused by the phenomenon of non-uniform magnetic field orientation and density along a height direction during orientation and densification.

An anisotropic bonded magnet and a preparation method thereof are provided. Through a method of stacking magnets which are different in content of SmFeN and/or have different densities, the magnets in the middle have high properties and the magnets at two ends and/or the periphery have low properties, thereby compensating for a property deviation caused by a difference in densities during a pressing process, and improving the property uniformity of the magnets in an axial direction.
