Problems solved by technology

However, although the existing NdFeB permanent magnet has a high magnetic energy product, it has fatal shortcomings: low Curie temperature and working temperature, poor thermal stability, and its magnetic properties deteriorate sharply when the temperature is higher than 150 °C
However, the addition of Tb and Dy brings two serious problems: (1) Most of Tb and Dy enter the grains to form Tb with Fe and B elements 2 Fe 14 B or Dy 2 Fe 14 B compound, the magnetization of this type of compound is much lower than the main phase Nd of NdFeB permanent magnet 2 Fe 14 B, will greatly reduce the remanence and magnetic energy product of the material; (2) Tb, Dy and other heavy rare earth elements are expensive and are scarce resources, and their storage capacity is only 1 / 10 to 1 / 100 of Nd, and the ore veins are limited to several production is very limited
But the two have one thing in common: that is, when preparing high coercive force sintered NdFeB magnets, heavy rare earth elements such as Tb and Dy are pre-added in the master alloy, which not only wastes heavy rare earth resources, increases production costs, but also sacrifices Partial remanence and energy product of magnets
[0005] At present, there are related patent reports on improving the coercive force of magnets in China. The reports are nothing more than adding Tb and Dy in two ways, one is through traditional smelting, and the other is through mixing during powder making. 2006-158500) adopts vacuum evaporation method for magnet coating to improve the comprehensive performance of magnets. The disadvantages are as follows: (1) the equipment is expensive (2) the material utilization rate is low (3) the uniformity of the film is difficult to control, and it is difficult to Realize industrialization (4)R 2 Elements only illustrate Tb, Dy, Gd, Ho are not mentioned

Abstract

A preparation method of neodymium iron boron magnet is disclosed. The composition general formula of the magnet provided by the invention is R1R2FeMB, wherein R1 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nd, Pr, La, Ce, Sm, Sc, Y and Eu, having a content of 23 to 35 wt%; R2 is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Tb, Dy, Gd, and Ho, having a content of 0.1 to 5 wt%; M represents transition group metal with the exception of Fe, having the content of 0.01 to 5 wt%; B represents simple substance boron, having the content of 0.8 to 1.2 wt%; the balance isFe and the other inevitable impurities. The preparation method of neodymium iron boron magnet provided by the invention works in such a manner that: one or more elements in the R2 are plated to the surface of the magnet, the metal R2 is diffused into the interior of the magnet by primary high temperature heat treatment, and imbalance organization and internal stress brought by the high temperature treatment are eliminated through secondary low temperature tempering. Low temperature molten salt electrodeposition method is employed to plate films. The present invention is advantageous in greatly improving the production efficiency, reducing the dosage of the heavy rare earth during preparation process of magnet, saving rare earth resource, and obtaining high coercivity without reducing remanent magnetism and magnetic energy product of a magnet.
