Coarse grains contained in Nd-Fe-Co-Ga-Bhot-pressed and die-upset magnets are reviewed. Coarse grains contained in hot-pressed magnets maintain their shapes during die-upsetting and increase deformation resistance. Br, Hk and (BH){sub max} of die-upset magnets decrease with increase in the volume fraction of coarse grains. Equiaxed coarse grains nucleate and grow during melt-spinning. Columnar coarse grains grow during hot-pressing. Volume fraction of coarse grains before die-upsetting should be minimized to increase (BH){sub max}.
