Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rare earth permanent magnet materials technology, specifically to a high-performance, low-temperature-coefficient rare earth permanent magnet material and its preparation method, and more specifically, to a high-remanence, low-temperature-coefficient, high-temperature-stability sintered NdFeB permanent magnet and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Rare-earth permanent magnet materials are among the fastest-growing functional materials in recent years, widely used in new energy vehicles, energy-saving home appliances, energy-saving elevators, and next-generation mobile communications. Since the industrialization of neodymium iron boron magnets, research has mainly focused on improving the magnetic energy product and temperature stability. Significant success has been achieved in improving the magnetic energy product. The theoretical limit of the magnetic energy product is 64 MGOe, and in 2006, laboratory samples achieved 59.6 MGOe, while industrial products exceeded 55 MGOe. In recent years, with the rapid development of new energy vehicles and rail transit, more and more power motors are adopting rare-earth permanent magnet motor designs, which not only reduce weight but also improve motor efficiency. In major high-speed rail countries such as China, Germany, Japan, and France, permanent magnet synchronous drive systems have been applied to high-speed trains and subway cars, with most prototypes completed and tested on actual routes, and small-batch applications gradually underway in some cases. However, this type of power motor places higher demands on the temperature stability of the magnets. Currently, most rail transit traction motors use samarium cobalt magnets with low temperature coefficients in their design. However, samarium cobalt magnets are complex to manufacture, costly, fragile, and have low energy product. Therefore, high-performance, low-temperature-coefficient sintered neodymium iron boron magnets are one of the important research directions at present.

[0003] To reduce the temperature coefficient of NdFeB magnets (the reduction here refers to the absolute value of the temperature coefficient, the same below) and improve temperature stability, the following measures are generally taken: 1) M. Sagawa et al. added cobalt to replace iron to increase the Curie temperature. Matsuura, Mottram et al. found that replacing 1 at.% of iron with cobalt would increase the Curie temperature of NdFeB magnets by about 10.9℃; however, adding cobalt would reduce the intrinsic coercivity of the magnet, and NdFeB magnets with low intrinsic coercivity cannot be used at high operating temperatures. 2) Adding heavy rare earth elements such as Dy and Tb to increase intrinsic coercivity, but Dy and Tb do not significantly improve the remanence temperature coefficient, meaning that the magnetic properties of permanent magnets differ greatly at room temperature and high temperature, causing the torque of permanent magnet motors to decrease at high temperatures. Therefore, extremely high intrinsic coercivity cannot meet the requirements of rail transit for the temperature stability of permanent magnets. 3) Other existing technologies, such as patent CN111640549, address the problems of low operating temperature and poor temperature stability of sintered NdFeB magnets by jointly adding heavy rare earth elements, cobalt, and trace elements to effectively control the magnetic moment and microstructure of the material. This optimizes the structure of the grain boundary phase and grain boundary of the sintered rare earth permanent magnet material, forming a cobalt-containing amorphous grain boundary phase. This results in sintered rare earth permanent magnet materials with high temperature stability. However, the amount of heavy rare earth and cobalt used is relatively high, resulting in lower magnetic properties and a remanence of approximately 11.9–12.69 kGs. Moreover, the cost is relatively high. Summary of the Invention

For example, a composition, step, method, article, or apparatus that includes the listed elements is not necessarily limited to those elements, but may include other elements not expressly listed or elements inherent to such composition, step, method, article, or apparatus.

[0034] The conjunction "composed of..." excludes any unspecified elements, steps, or components. If used in a claim, this phrase makes the claim closed, excluding materials other than those described, except for associated conventional impurities.

[0038] The indefinite articles “a” and “an” preceding an element or component of this invention do not impose any limitation on the quantity (i.e., number of times) of the element or component. Therefore, “an” or “a” should be interpreted as including one or at least one, and the singular form of an element or component also includes the plural form, unless the quantity clearly refers only to the singular form.

[0040] Unless otherwise specified, the rapid solidification process in the embodiments and comparative examples of this invention is as follows: the alloy is placed in the crucible of the rapid solidification furnace and vacuum induction melting is carried out under argon protection. After the raw materials are fully melted, the temperature is maintained at 1350-1550°C, and the alloy liquid is poured onto a water-cooled rotating copper roller to obtain a rapid solidification sheet with an average thickness of 0.2-0.4 mm.

[0041] The hydrogen-crushing process involves crushing the quick-setting flakes in a hydrogen-crushing furnace to obtain millimeter-sized hydrogen-crushed powder.

[0042] The air jet milling process involves grinding hydrogen-fired medium powder into fine powder with an average particle size of 2–4 μm under nitrogen protection.

[0043] The molding process is as follows: fine powder is oriented and pressed into shape in a magnetic field press of 1.5T or higher to obtain NdFeB blanks, and then isostatic pressing is performed to obtain a density of 3.8-5 g / cm³. 3 The raw clay.

[0044] The sintering process is as follows: the green body obtained by pressing is sintered under vacuum conditions at a temperature of 1040-1100℃ for 5-10 hours.

[0045] As long as the above process parameters are followed, the required qualified product can be obtained. For example, in the rapid solidification process, after the raw materials are fully melted, the temperature range of 1350 to 1550°C can be maintained. There are no special requirements for the specific temperature. The thickness of the rapid solidification sheet can be 0.2 to 0.4 mm, which will not affect the quality of the product obtained by subsequent processes.

[0047] High-performance, low-temperature-coefficient rare-earth permanent magnet materials are prepared using the following material selection and methods:

[0048] (1) The weight percentage of the neodymium iron boron substrate alloy 1 is (Pr 25 Nd 75 ) 29 Dy 0.5 Co5Cu 0.2 Al 0.2 Zr 0.1 B 0.98 Fe 64.02 Neodymium iron boron blanks were prepared by rapid solidification, hydrogen rupture, air jet milling, molding, and sintering processes.

[0050] (3) The neodymium iron boron blank is processed into a square piece of 20mm×20mm×5mm;

[0051] (4) Diffusion: Fine powder A is applied to the surface of the square piece. The amount of fine powder A applied is 0.8% of the weight of the magnet. Diffusion is carried out at 900℃ for 20 hours and tempered at 510℃ for 4 hours.

[0052] Comparative Example 1

[0053] The difference from Example 1 is that fine powder A was not applied and diffusion treatment was not performed; otherwise, it is the same as Example 1.

[0054] Comparative Example 2

[0055] The difference from Example 1 is that the NdFeB substrate alloy 1 has a weight percentage of (Pr 25 Nd 75 ) 29 Dy 0.5 Tb 0.48 Co 5.28 Cu 0.2 Al 0.2 Zr 0.1 B 0.98 Fe 63.26 The fine powder A was not coated, and no diffusion treatment was performed; otherwise, it was the same as in Example 1.

[0056] Comparative Example 3

[0057] The difference from Example 1 is that 0.48% pure Tb was applied, while the rest were the same as in Example 1.

[0058] Comparative Example 4

[0059] The difference from Example 1 is that the NdFeB substrate alloy 1 has a weight percentage of (Pr 25 Nd 75 ) 29 Dy 0.5Tb 0. 5Co 10 Cu 0.2 Al 0.2 Zr 0.1 B 0.98 Fe 58.52 Diffused fine powder A, otherwise the same as in Example 1; Comparative Example 5

[0060] The difference from Example 1 is that the NdFeB substrate alloy 1 has a weight percentage of (Pr 25 Nd 75 ) 26 Dy6Tb 0.5 Co5Cu 0.2 Al 0.2 Zr 0.1 B 0.98 Fe 61.02 Diffused fine powder A, otherwise the same as in Example 1;

[0061] Example 2

[0062] High-performance, low-temperature-coefficient rare-earth permanent magnet materials are prepared using the following material selection and methods:

[0063] (1) Alloy 1 has a weight percentage of (Pr) 25 Nd 75 ) 29.5 Co8Cu 0.2 Al 0.2 Zr 0.1 B 0.98 Fe 61.02 Neodymium iron boron blanks were prepared by rapid solidification, hydrogen rupture, air jet milling, molding, and sintering processes.

[0064] (2) Alloy 2 has a weight percentage of Dy 70 Cu8Co 22 Fine powder B is obtained by rapid coagulation, hydrogen pulverization, and air jet milling;

[0065] (3) The neodymium iron boron blank is processed into a square piece of 20mm×20mm×5mm;

[0066] (4) Diffusion: Fine powder B is applied to the surface of the square piece. The amount of fine powder B applied is 1.2% of the weight of the magnet. Diffusion is carried out at 900℃ for 30 hours and tempered at 510℃ for 4 hours.

[0067] The magnetic properties of the sintered rare earth permanent magnet materials obtained in the above embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Table 1.

[0068] Table 1 Comparison of magnetic properties of materials obtained from the examples and comparative examples.

[0069]

[0070] As shown in Table 1, the material obtained in Example 1 has excellent comprehensive magnetic properties, with a remanence of over 14 kGs, a temperature coefficient of less than 0.1% / ℃, and an intrinsic coercivity of over 7 kOe at 200℃. It can be determined that the magnet is a high-performance sintered NdFeB magnet with low temperature coefficient and high stability that can be used at 200℃.

[0071] Comparative Example 1, where the substrate of Example 1 was not coated with diffusion treatment, showed that the intrinsic coercivity and temperature coefficient of the magnet were significantly inferior to those of Example 1. Comparative Example 2 also did not undergo coating with diffusion treatment; instead, the alloying elements that would otherwise be diffused into the magnet were added to the magnet during the smelting process. The final magnet composition was similar to that of Example 1, but the temperature coefficient and high-temperature stability differed considerably. Comparative Example 3 used a pure terbium diffusion scheme, resulting in a lower temperature coefficient than Example 1. Comparative Example 4 showed that a higher cobalt content in the magnet reduced its intrinsic coercivity, which could not meet the high operating temperature requirements and increased costs. Comparative Example 5 showed that a higher heavy rare earth content improved the intrinsic coercivity of the magnet, but significantly reduced its remanence, leading to a substantial increase in cost, and did not significantly improve the high-temperature stability of the magnet. Example 2 demonstrated that diffused dysprosium alloys are a good choice for applications requiring lower operating temperatures, as they can reduce costs.

[0072] The above comparison reveals that while cobalt can reduce the remanence temperature coefficient of magnets, higher is not always better. A reduction exceeding 8% excessively lowers the intrinsic coercivity of the magnet, requiring more heavy rare earth elements to compensate for this reduction, increasing costs, further decreasing remanence, and without significantly improving high-temperature stability. Compared to traditional diffusion techniques, grain boundary diffusion cobalt alloys exhibit better diffusion effects. This technology forms a (DyTb)-(CoFe)-B shell structure at the magnet's grain boundaries, grain surfaces, and surface, resulting in high-performance, low-temperature-coefficient rare earth permanent magnet materials with excellent high-temperature stability. Therefore, obtaining high-performance sintered NdFeB magnets with low temperature coefficients and high temperature stability using lower amounts of heavy rare earth elements and cobalt, and improving the utilization efficiency of cobalt and heavy rare earth elements, holds broad application prospects.

[0073] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
