A method forms a crowning on a sintered component made from a sintering powder, in particular on the teeth of a sintered component including a toothing. The sintered component is calibrated in that the sintered component is introduced into a calibration tool. The sintered component includes a forming chamber with at least one forming wall. In the forming wall a crowning is formed which is inverse to the crowning of the sintered component to be formed. After calibration the sintered component is removed again from the calibration tool. The size of the forming chamber of the calibration tool remains unchanged at least for the time period beginning with the insertion of the sintered component into the calibration tool and ending after the removal of the sintered molding from the calibration tool.

Provided is a method for producing a rare-earth magnet that can resolve a problem of deterioration of the residual magnetization and coercive force of the rare-earth magnet due to spring-back in producing the rare-earth magnet through performing hot deformation processing of upsetting on a sintered body. The method includes a first step of producing the sintered body through press-forming of magnetic powder for a rare-earth magnet, and a second step of producing a rare-earth magnet precursor through hot deformation processing of upsetting in which the sintered body is placed within a plastic processing mold and is pressurized in a predetermined direction so as to impart magnetic anisotropy to the sintered body, and performing cooling of the rare-earth magnet precursor while a predetermined pressure is kept being applied thereto in the predetermined direction, so that the rare-earth magnet is produced.
