The invention discloses a method for improving the magnetic performance of sintered NdFeB through
grain boundary diffusion, and belongs to the technical field of
rare earth magnetic materials. The method comprises the steps that sintered NdFeB
magnetic powder is subjected to semi-densification
sintering, wherein the density is 90-95%; the periphery of the semi-densification sintered NdFeB is coated with turbid liquid, with the
viscosity of 100-500 mpa.s, containing heavy
rare earth compounds, the
vacuum drying is carried out, coatings with heavy
rare earth elements areobtained on the surface of a semi-densification sintered NdFeB
magnet, then
sintering at 1040-1080 DEG C is carried out for 2-3 h, primary
tempering at 900-940 DEG C is carried out for 1-3 h, secondary
tempering at 480-550 DEG C is carried out for 2-4 h, and the high-
magnetism sintered NdFeB material is obtained. Certain
adhesive force is formed between the semi-densification sintered NdFeB
magnet and the coatings such as Dy2O3, Tb2O3, DyF3 and DyH3, the heavy rare earth elements enter the NdFeB
magnet in the
sintering process, the organizational structure and components at the combined position of a
grain boundary and a main phase are improved, the heavy rare earth elements can be more easily diffused into the NdFeB magnet, the
distribution uniformity and thickness consistency are high, and the depth of the
diffusion layer is greatly increased.
