Problems solved by technology

However, the HDDR process is not suitable for those alloys containing a certain amount of dysprosium and terbium, because dysprosium and terbium will inhibit the disproportionation reaction in hydrogen
[0008] Therefore, it is considered difficult to prepare an R-Fe-B ultra-fine magnet body with good magnetic properties and heat resistance, and the magnetic properties will not deteriorate in a considerable sense.

preparation example Construction

[0037] Master alloys are prepared by melting metal or alloy raw materials in a vacuum or an inert gas atmosphere, preferably in an argon atmosphere, and casting the melt into flat or hinged molds or strip casting. A possible alternative is the so-called dual-alloy process, which involves the separate preparation of R 2 Fe 14 Alloys composed of B compounds and R-rich alloys acting as liquid phase aids at sintering temperatures were crushed, weighed and mixed. It is worth noting that, if necessary, the alloy with a composition close to the main phase should be homogenized in order to increase the R 2 Fe 14 The amount of the B compound phase because α-Fe may remain depending on the cooling rate during casting and the composition of the alloy. The homogenization treatment is a heat treatment at a temperature of 700-1200° C. for at least 1 hour in vacuum or in an argon atmosphere. The so-called melt quenching technique and the aforementioned casting technique can be applied to ...

Embodiment 1 and comparative example 1

[0074] A thin plate-shaped alloy is prepared by using neodymium, iron, cobalt, and aluminum metals and iron-boron with a purity of at least 99% by weight, weighing a predetermined amount of the above-mentioned substances, high-frequency melting them in an argon atmosphere, and then pouring the melt onto copper single chill rolls (strip casting technology). The alloy consists of 12.5 atomic % neodymium, 1.0 atomic % cobalt, 1.0 atomic % aluminum, 5.9 atomic % boron and the balance iron. Name it Alloy A. Alloy A was machined into a coarse powder of less than 30 mesh by the so-called hydrogenation comminution technique, which involves hydrogenating the alloy and heating to 500° C. while evacuating the chamber to partially decompose the hydrogenation.

[0075] Separately, the alloy is prepared as follows: using neodymium, dysprosium, iron, cobalt, aluminum and copper metals and iron boron with a purity of at least 99% by weight, weighing a predetermined amount of the above substa...

Embodiment 2 and comparative example 2

[0083] Using the same composition and procedure as in Example 1, a 10 mm x 20 mm x 15 mm thick sintered block was prepared. The sintered block is machined to a specific surface area S / V of 24mm using an inner blade cutting machine -1 A cuboid of predetermined size. The as-machined sintered body was washed sequentially with alkaline solution, deionized water, acid and deionized water, and then dried.

[0084] Then, dysprosium oxide with an average particle size of 1 μm, dysprosium fluoride with an average particle size of 5 μm, and ethanol were mixed in weight fractions of 25%, 25% and 50%, and the magnet body was immersed therein for 1 minute and ultrasonic waves were applied. The magnet body is removed and immediately dried with hot air. At this time, dysprosium oxide and dysprosium fluoride occupy a space at an average distance of 16 micrometers from the surface of the magnet, and the filling factor is 50% by volume.

[0085] according to figure 1 The procedure shown, HD...

Abstract

A permanent magnet material is prepared by covering an anisotropic sintered magnet body of formula: R<1>x(Fe1-yCoy)100-x-z-aBzMa wherein R<1 >is a rare earth element, M is Al, Cu or the like, with a powder comprising an oxide of R<2>, a fluoride of R<3 >or an oxyfluoride of R<4 >wherein R<2>, R<3>, and R<4 >are rare earth elements, and having an average particle size up to 100 mum, heat treating the powder-covered magnet body in a hydrogen gas-containing atmosphere for inducing disproportionation reaction on R<1>2Fe14B compound, and continuing heat treatment at a reduced hydrogen gas partial pressure for inducing recombination reaction to said compound, thereby finely dividing said compound phase to a crystal grain size up to 1 mum, and for effecting absorption treatment, thereby causing R<2>, R<3 >or R<4 >to be absorbed in the magnet body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to heat-resistant R-Fe-B permanent magnets designed to prevent magnetic degradation due to surface machining of sintered ferromagnetic bodies, and more particularly to specific surface areas (S / V) of at least 6mm -1 A method for the preparation of high-performance rare earth permanent magnet materials of small size or reduced thickness. Background technique [0002] Due to the excellent magnetic properties, the application range of R-Fe-B permanent magnet represented by Nd-Fe-B system is increasing day by day. For modern electronic equipment with built-in magnets, including computer-related equipment, hard disk drives, CD players, DVD players, and mobile phones, there is a constant demand for weight and size reduction, better performance, and energy saving. In this case, R-Fe-B magnets, especially high-performance R-Fe-B sintered magnets must meet the requirements of small size and reduced thickness. In fact, the constan...
