Rare-earth permanent magnet-forming sintered body, and rare-earth permanent magnet obtained by magnetizing said sintered body

This invention provides for a rare-earth permanent magnet-forming sintered body having an integral sintered structure of magnet material particles containing a rare-earth substance. The integral sintered structure is formed in a three-dimensional shape having: a cross-section with a shape defined by a radially outer-side arc-shaped surface having a first curvature radius, a radially inner-side arc-shaped surface having a second curvature radius less than the first curvature radius and having an arc shape concentric with the outer-side arc-shaped surface; and a first end face and a second end face each of which is a radially-extending face along a virtual radial line extending from a curvature center of the arc shapes; and an axial length extending in a direction perpendicular to the cross-section.
