Grain boundary diffusion (GBD) Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets were prepared using a newly developed solid-liquid phase separation diffusion (SepD) technique, as well as a currently popular solid-liquid phase simultaneous diffusion (SimD) technique. The magnetic properties, microstructures, and magnetic domain morphologies of the magnets with different Tb contents diffused using the two techniques were then investigated. A SepD magnet using 0.25 wt% Tb exhibited a similar coercivity and a stronger maximum energy product compared to a SimD magnet with 0.50 wt% Tb, demonstrating high Tb availability. Moreover, by using the new diffusion technique, Tb could diffuse deeper into the magnet and distribute more homogeneously around the surface region of the Nd2Fe14B crystal grains, forming the crucial core-shell structure without undesirable enrichment in the surface area of the magnet. As a result, the squareness factor increased noticeably from 0.842 for the current technique diffused magnet to 0.925 for the new technique diffused magnet with a thickness of 8 mm.
