[0028] It should be further noted that the application provides a preparation process of a large-gradient high-coercivity samarium-cobalt material, which can be used in cooperation with the above device, and the process comprises the following steps when used:

[0029] S1. In the batching stage, Sm, Co, La, Re, Al and Nd raw materials are crushed separately and mixed in proportion.

[0030] S2. In the ball milling stage, the obtained mixed powder is screened, and the screened raw material is added to the ball mill for grinding.

[0031] S3, Mixing stage: The ground raw materials and curing agent and template agent in proportion are put into the auger conveyor for mixing;

[0032] S4. Molding process: The mixture is pushed into the mold by the auger conveyor.

[0033] S6. Sintering treatment: Turn off the auger conveyor and turn on the microwave heater to sinter the mixture in the molding die for a period of time. During the sintering process, the template agent is decomposed to generate gas. When the material forms a porous structure, the gas is discharged through the holes on the die and finally discharged from the gas outlet valve.

[0034] S7. Loading process: push the can body to connect the can body with the connecting parts outside the double-headed bottle body, and rotate the threaded sleeve to connect the threaded sleeve with the screw. At this time, the gear plate also meshes with the gear ring.

[0035] S8. Magnetic field treatment: The electromagnetic coil inside the tank is activated, generating a magnetic field inside the tank. After sintering, the molding die passes through the strong magnetic field and is eventually removed from the tank by opening the lid.

[0036] Furthermore, the raw materials appearing in steps S1, S2, and S3 are composed of the following atomic ratios: Sm (12.5–15) parts, Co (62.5–75) parts, La (4.5–6.5) parts, Re (2.5–3.3) parts, Al (2.5–3.3) parts, and Nd (0.03–0.9) parts;

[0037] The mixing ratio of Sm and Co is 1:3 to 5, Al is a low-melting-point metal, and La and Nd are rare earth elements. The atomic ratio between rare earth elements and low-melting-point metal is 1:0.3 to 5.

[0038] Furthermore, the S1 ingredient preparation stage is conducted in a constant room temperature (approximately between 20°C and 25°C) and at normal pressure.

[0039] The ball-to-material ratio in the S2 ball milling stage is 10:1, and this stage is also carried out at room temperature (approximately 20°C to 25°C).

[0040] The S6 sintering process is carried out at 800°C to 1200°C for 4 to 10 hours.

[0041] Furthermore, the template agent is a gaseous template agent, which is used to form pores in the mixture and is released or diffused during sintering. The total ratio of the curing agent and the template agent relative to the total mixing ratio between Sm and Co is 1 to 1.85.

[0042] Furthermore, the present invention can prepare a samarium-cobalt material structure according to the above process, wherein the prepared samarium-cobalt material has a number of channels that penetrate to the surface of the material, and these pores can form a connected network inside the material.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0044] This high-gradient, high-coercivity samarium-cobalt material preparation process utilizes a modular design for the sintering furnace used to shape the samarium-cobalt material. This allows for flexible installation of a screw conveyor for transporting raw materials and a processing unit for pulling out the sintering furnace's forming components at either end of the furnace. Furthermore, the sintering furnace acts as a connector, enabling linkage between the screw conveyor and the processing unit. Compared to traditional integrated material production lines, this process offers advantages such as modular structure, flexibility, high efficiency, and maintainability, ensuring production efficiency and adapting to different production needs to a certain extent.

[0045] Furthermore, by installing an electromagnetic coil inside the can and electrode holders at both ends outside the can, and connecting the two electrode holders to the battery coil, the interior of the can is equipped with a strong electromagnetic field. This provides the following benefits to the fired samarium-cobalt material when the molded part passes through the strong magnetic field:

[0046] First, improve the coercivity of the material: Strong electromagnetic fields have a directional effect on the magnetic particles in samarium cobalt materials, which can promote the magnetic particles to be arranged more orderly during the sintering process, thus helping to improve the coercivity of the material, that is, the ability of the material to resist changes in magnetization direction under an external magnetic field. It should be noted that improving coercivity can make samarium cobalt materials have better magnetic properties and stability in applications.

[0047] Second, control the magnetic properties of the material: by adjusting the current between the two electrode holders, the parameters of the strong electromagnetic field can be changed, thereby achieving precise control over the magnetic properties of samarium-cobalt material.

[0048] Furthermore, the process provided in this application involves adding a template agent and a curing agent to the raw materials used to prepare samarium cobalt materials. During the heating and curing process, the template agent decomposes, generating gases. The emission of these gases results in a porous structure in the samarium cobalt material. This porous structure offers several advantages over samarium cobalt materials prepared using conventional processes:

[0049] First, higher coercivity: Porous samarium cobalt magnets have more interfaces and grain boundaries, which can increase the storage of magnetization energy and restrict the movement of magnetic domains, thereby improving coercivity.

[0050] Second, a larger magnetic field gradient: porous samarium-cobalt magnets have a higher specific surface area, resulting in more dramatic changes in the local magnetic field. This leads to a larger magnetic field gradient, allowing for stronger magnetic field changes to be generated in a smaller space. Therefore, porous samarium-cobalt magnets exhibit better performance in fields such as sensors and magnetic storage.

[0051] Third, better thermal stability: Due to the smaller grain size and relatively lower grain boundary energy of porous samarium cobalt magnets, the thermal diffusion rate of grain boundaries slows down under high temperature conditions, making the grain boundaries more stable. At the same time, the atoms in porous samarium cobalt magnets have higher thermal activation energy, which increases coercivity and saturation magnetic field, thereby improving the thermal stability of the magnet.

[0052] Fourth, lower domain wall energy: Due to the fine grains and interfaces in the porous samarium cobalt magnet, the movement of domain walls is suppressed and the domain wall energy is reduced. This makes the porous samarium cobalt magnet have lower losses and provide better frequency response characteristics in high-frequency applications. Attached Figure Description

It should also be noted that at the end of step S7, the auger conveyor 101 needs to be restarted. During operation, the auger conveyor 101 is connected via the connecting frame 402... When the cap 401 rotates, the grooved ring 403 drives the limiting pin block 202 to rotate the double-headed bottle body 210. At this time, the toothed ring 203 and the toothed disc 501 mesh. When the toothed ring 203 rotates, the transmission block 503 will rotate under the action of the guide pin 504 and the guide groove 506 and move toward the position of the transmission disc 510. At this time, the transmission disc 510 rotates and drives the grooved disc 610 to rotate with the help of the transmission protrusion 511. When the grooved disc 610 rotates, it will drive the threaded rod 604 to rotate through the drive wheel 607, the transmission belt 606 and the transmission wheel 605, so that the force seat 602 pulls the forming mold 703 to move with the help of the threaded sleeve seat 603.

[0090] It should be noted that the raw materials appearing in steps S1, S2 and S3 are composed of the following atomic ratios: Sm (12.5-15) parts, Co (62.5-75) parts, La (4.5-6.5) parts, Re (2.5-3.3) parts, Al (2.5-3.3) parts and Nd (0.03-0.9) parts, wherein the mixing ratio of Sm and Co is 1:3-5, Al is a low-melting-point metal, and La and Nd are rare earth elements. The atomic ratio between rare earth elements and low-melting-point metals is 1:0.5-3. The total ratio of curing agent and template agent relative to the total mixing ratio of Sm and Co is 1-1.85, and the raw material ratio between curing agent and template agent is 1:3.

[0091] It should be noted that in this application, the S1 batching stage is carried out at a constant room temperature (approximately between 20°C and 25°C) and normal pressure; the S3 mixing stage and the S4 molding stage are also carried out at room temperature (approximately 20°C to 25°C); the S6 sintering stage is carried out at 800°C to 1200°C for 4 to 10 hours; it should also be noted that the template agent is a gaseous template agent, used to form pores in the mixture and released or diffused during the sintering process.

[0092] It should be added that the samarium cobalt material structure prepared in this application has several channels that extend to the surface of the material, and these pores can form a connected network inside the material.
