Problems solved by technology

However, the use of dysprosium to replace neodymium has the following disadvantages: on the one hand, the reverse magnetization coupling between dysprosium atoms and iron atoms reduces the magnetization of the magnet; on the other hand, dysprosium reserves in nature are much lower than that of neodymium, and its market price is much higher than that of neodymium. , the addition of dysprosium greatly increases the manufacturing cost of the magnet and the pressure on natural resources
However, this treatment method still has the problem of insufficient diffusion depth in the current common diffusion process.

Abstract

The invention relates to a grain boundary diffusion method for improving properties of sintered NdFeB magnets. The grain boundary diffusion method comprises the following steps of stacking sintered NdFeB magnets and diffusion alloy sheets together and placing in a hot-pressing furnace; vacuumizing the hot-pressing furnace until the vacuum degree reaches a set value, heating the hot-pressing furnace, and when the temperature of the hot-pressing furnace reaches a set value, beginning to exert a pressure and maintaining the pressure and putting the diffused sample into a high-vacuum furnace for annealing, wherein the diffusion alloy sheets are low-melting-point eutectic diffusion alloys and are represented by R-TM, R is one or more of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr or Nd and TM is one or more of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn. Compared with the prior art, the sintered NdFeB magnets modified by the pressure diffusion method, which is provided by the invention, have the advantages of large diffusion depth of a diffusion agent, uniform distribution of grain boundary phases, high coercivity and the like, especially, low-melting-point diffusion alloys designed by the invention are free of expensive heavy rare earth element dysprosium and thus the cost of the raw materials is relatively low, the diffusion temperature is low and the energy consumption in the diffusion process is small.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a grain boundary diffusion method for improving the magnetic properties of sintered NdFeB, belonging to the technical field of rare earth permanent magnet materials. Background technique [0002] The third-generation permanent magnet material with the reputation of "Magnetic King" - neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) has been a research hotspot in academia and industry since it came out. At present, most of the high coercive force NdFeB magnets are prepared by replacing the heavy rare earth element dysprosium with neodymium. The content is as high as 10wt%. However, the use of dysprosium to replace neodymium has the following disadvantages: on the one hand, the reverse magnetization coupling between dysprosium atoms and iron atoms reduces the magnetization of the magnet; on the other hand, dysprosium reserves in nature are much lower than that of neodymium, and its market price is much higher than that of neodymium. , The addition ...
