Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in process (1), element substitution will bring some adverse consequences. The magnetic moments of Nd and Fe are in the same direction, while Dy and Fe are antiferromagnetically coupled, so this element substitution will cause a significant reduction in the remanence of the material. ; In process (2), the magnet sample prepared by the grain boundary diffusion process is limited by the thickness of the magnet, and the thickness of the general sample does not exceed 8mm

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic materials, in particular to a method for improving the magnetic properties of rare earth NdFeB, comprising the following steps: mixing a grainboundary auxiliary alloy RTM casting sheet and a rare earth Nd-Fe-B main alloy, and performing hydrogen crushing, powder preparation, molding, and low-temperature long-time sintering and heat treatment to obtain a high-performance rare earth Nd-Fe-B magnet. Double alloy, grain refining and lwo-temperature long sintering are adopted, so that the influence of the remanence reduction caused by the replacement of Nd in the main phase Nd2Fe14B by the heavy rare earth in the traditional process is avoided; the heavy rare earth in the grain boundary auxiliary alloy RTM casting can be distributed uniformly in the grain boundary, so the coercivity of the magnet can be improved. The method is simple and efficient, and has no special requirements on equipment. The method is suitable for industrial production of high-performance rare earth Nd-Fe-B magnet.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic materials, in particular to a method for improving the magnetic properties of rare earth NdFeB. Background technique [0002] NdFeB has been in existence for more than 30 years. During these 30 years, the global NdFeB production has grown from less than 1 ton in 1983 to more than 100,000 tons now. It is the fastest growing magnetic material so far. The magnetic energy product (BHmax) of sintered NdFeB permanent magnets, from the original 280kJ / m 3 , increased to the current 472.8kJ / m 3 , has reached 93% of the theoretical magnetic energy product of NdFeB, and there is not much room for further improvement. Therefore, how to further improve the coercive force of the magnet is the current direction of sintering NdFeB. [0003] At present, there are two main techniques for improving the coercive force of sintered NdFeB magnets: (1) adding heavy rare earth Dy / Tb directly to the master alloy throug...
