The present invention discloses a medium-high performance
neodymium iron
boron and a preparation method thereof. Through the master-slave phase double
alloy process, the master phase
alloy is
cerium iron
boron with a low total
rare earth content, and the slave phase is a
neodymium iron
boron alloy with a high total
rare earth content, avoiding the entry of light rare earths in the master phase into the grain boundaries, while the surplus rare earths in the slave phase enter the grain boundaries and are recombined into
rare earth-rich phases. The prepared
magnet is processed into a thin magnetic sheet, and a low-melting-point HReM alloy is magnetron sputtered, realizing low-temperature
grain boundary diffusion. This alloy improves the
grain boundary wettability and also improves the fluidity of the rare earth-rich phase, enabling the
cerium-containing
neodymium iron boron master and slave phase grains to be quickly isolated during
grain boundary diffusion. The low-temperature
diffusion avoids the replacement of the diffused heavy rare earths by
praseodymium, neodymium, and
cerium elements, inhibits the exchange
coupling between cerium iron boron grains, and makes the heavy rare earths free in the grain boundaries or interact with the rare earth-rich phase to form a core-shell structure on the
surface layer of the master phase grains, enabling the rare earth-rich phase to be continuously and uniformly distributed, effectively enhancing the effectiveness of the grain boundary diffusion of heavy rare earth elements in improving the intrinsic
coercivity of the cerium-containing
magnet.
