The invention discloses a large-size high-performance R-T-B
rare earth permanent
magnet and a preparation method thereof. The thickness of the
magnet in the orientation direction is 4-14 mm; the residual
magnetism Br of the large-size high-performance
magnet is greater than or equal to 14.0 kGs, and the coercive force Hcj is greater than or equal to 23.0 kOe. When the magnet base body is prepared, a layered
powder laying mode is adopted, so that the
surface layer of the magnet is made of single
alloy easy to diffuse, the core part of the magnet is made of double
alloy, it is guaranteed that the core part of the magnet has high coercive force, meanwhile, the
grain boundary diffusion capacity of the
surface layer of the magnet is optimized, and the advantages of the double
alloy and
grain boundary diffusion are fully combined. Besides, an alloy of a low-melting-point
metal element M2 and a heavy
rare earth element RH in a certain proportion is adopted as an auxiliary alloy and a
grain boundary diffusion source, the diffusion depth of the heavy
rare earth element RH is promoted, excessive enrichment of the heavy
rare earth element RH in a small area is prevented, and generation of body diffusion is inhibited. According to the method, the coercive force of the magnet is remarkably improved, meanwhile, it is guaranteed that the magnet has high residual
magnetism, and the large-size high-performance R-T-B rare earth permanent magnet is prepared.
