Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a neodymium iron boron rare earth permanent magnet, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) rare-earth permanent magnets have a remanence temperature coefficient (α) of approximately -0.1% / ℃ to -0.12% / ℃ and a coercivity temperature coefficient (β) of approximately -0.6% / ℃ to -0.8% / ℃. Therefore, their magnetic properties decay rapidly with increasing temperature, and their typical operating temperature does not exceed 200℃, limiting their application in high-temperature fields. While samarium cobalt (SMC) permanent magnets have low temperature coefficients (approximately -0.035% / ℃ for remanence temperature coefficient (α) and -0.25% / ℃ for coercivity temperature coefficient (β), they suffer from higher brittleness, poor bending strength, and lower energy product, making it difficult to meet the increasingly stringent mechanical reliability and energy efficiency requirements of permanent magnet motors.
[0003] Chinese patent application CN1067134A discloses a method for preparing neodymium iron boron with a low temperature coefficient. By adding elements such as Co, Mo, Al and Dy2O3, a rare earth permanent magnet with a low temperature coefficient is prepared. However, the magnet prepared by this method has low remanence and magnetic energy product, poor coercivity, low Co addition amount, and limited improvement in temperature coefficient.
[0004] Chinese patent application CN1308344A discloses a heat-resistant low temperature coefficient magnet containing elements such as Co and Ga, with an operating temperature of up to 150℃. However, it also suffers from the problems of low Co content, low Curie temperature, and limited improvement in remanence temperature coefficient. Furthermore, the presence of a Co-containing soft magnetic phase after adding Co results in low remanence and poor coercivity. Even with the addition of large amounts of high coercivity elements such as Dy and Tb, its coercivity is still less than 2000 kA / m.
[0005] Chinese patent application CN1696324A discloses a high-coercivity magnet with added Co, Cu, Al and Nb that is resistant to high temperatures. However, its magnetic energy product is low, the improvement of temperature coefficient is limited, and the sintered magnet needs to be rapidly cooled during its preparation process to avoid the precipitation of soft magnetic phase. The preparation process is complex and not suitable for large-scale production.
[0006] Chinese patent CN101364465B discloses a Co-containing rare earth permanent magnet with added nano-TiO2, ZrO2, MgO, and ZnO nanocrystals. Although the coercivity of the magnet is improved by adding a large amount of Dy, Tb, Pr, etc., thereby improving its irreversible magnetic flux loss, the amount of Co added is low and the improvement in temperature coefficient is not obvious.
[0007] In summary, the existing technologies currently suffer from defects such as low Co addition, low Curie temperature, insignificant improvement in remanence temperature coefficient, and low coercivity. In order to avoid the precipitation of soft magnetic phase during the manufacturing process after adding Co and to ensure the coercivity of the magnet, a large amount of heavy rare earth elements and special processes such as rapid cooling are required during manufacturing, which makes the manufacturing process difficult and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0065] Wherein, wt% represents the mass percentage of the grain boundary phase A, and the total of all components is 100wt%.
[0066] Preferably, the grain boundary phase A further includes one or more of Cu, Ga, Bi, Sn, Nb, Zr, Ti, and O.
[0067] In this invention, the grain boundary phase B is an R4T3 system phase with an Nd4Co3 structure. Grain boundary phase B is "Nd-rich and Co and Fe-poor". Grain boundary phase B is similar to the Nd-rich phase in traditional low-Co formulation systems, and its composition is mainly rare earth metals and their oxides or R-(T,X) alloy phases, where T is Fe or Co, and X is one or more of the aforementioned Cu, Ga, Bi, Sn, Nb, Zr, and Ti. It mainly functions to demagnetize the grains and improve coercivity.
[0068] Preferably, the grain boundary phase B comprises the following components in varying amounts:
[0069] R: 71.27wt%~88.31wt%; of which, Pr: 0~42.1wt%, Nd: 43.35wt%~79.1wt%, RH: 0.29wt%~0.99wt%;

[0075] Preferably, the Co content c(A) in the grain boundary phase A is greater than the Co content c(M) in the main phase M, and c(A) - c(M) > 3wt%. This ensures that the grain boundary phase A has sufficient Co elements to form an RT2-system paramagnetic phase, which is beneficial to improving the coercivity of the magnet.
[0076] Preferably, the RH content in the grain boundary phase A is higher than that in the main phase M and also higher than that in the grain boundary phase B. RH is concentrated in the grain boundary phase A, which improves the magnetic properties of the Co-rich grain boundaries and avoids the deterioration of the coercivity of the magnet.
[0077] Preferably, the RH content in the grain boundary phase B is lower than that in the main phase M and also lower than that in the grain boundary phase A. A lower RH content in the grain boundary phase B means that more RH can be obtained in the grain boundary phase A or the main phase M, which is beneficial for improving the magnet's coercivity.
[0078] Preferably, the content of X (especially Cu and Ga) in the grain boundary phase B is higher than that in the main phase M and also higher than that in the grain boundary phase A. When X is distributed in the main phase, it reduces the remanence of the main phase, while when it is distributed in the grain boundary phase B, it has no effect on the remanence and can form an RX grain boundary alloy phase, increasing the demagnetizing coupling between grains and improving the coercivity of the magnet.

Experimental methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions were performed according to conventional methods and conditions, or as selected according to the product instructions.
[0158] Examples 1-13 and Comparative Examples 1-7
[0159] The raw material composition formulations of NdFeB rare earth permanent magnets in Examples 1-13 and Comparative Examples 1-7 are shown in Table 1. The materials were proportioned according to the raw material composition formulations of NdFeB rare earth permanent magnets in Table 1, and the following steps were performed sequentially:
[0160] S1. The raw material composition of neodymium iron boron rare earth permanent magnets is sequentially smelted, cast, hydrogenated, and shaped to obtain a shaped body, specifically:
[0161] (1) Melting process: According to the formula shown in Table 1, take the prepared raw materials and put them into an alumina crucible. Melt the raw materials in a high-frequency vacuum induction furnace at 5×10⁻⁶ ℃. -2 Vacuum melting is carried out in a vacuum at a temperature below 1600°C.
[0162] (2) Casting process: at 5.5×10 4 In an Ar atmosphere with a pressure of Pa, the molten liquid after vacuum melting is passed through rotating rollers for casting.

[0168] (7) Preheating and sintering process: Transfer each molded body to the sintering furnace and heat it at 5×10 -3 Under a vacuum of Pa, the material was preheated at 300℃ and 600℃ for 1 hour each, then heated to 1040℃ at a heating rate of 16℃ / min, and sintered at 1040℃ for 4 hours.

[0171]
[0172]
[0173] Among them, the magnet formulations of Comparative Examples 5-7 were the same as those of Example 10, but their sintering and heat treatment heating and cooling rates were different, resulting in an increased proportion of soft magnetic impurities in the magnets and lower magnet performance. The sintering and first-stage aging treatment heating and cooling processes of the comparative examples are shown in Table 2.
[0174] Table 2 shows the sintering and first-stage aging heating and cooling processes for Comparative Examples 5-7.

[0176] Example 1: Phase composition and component analysis of neodymium iron boron rare earth permanent magnets

[0188] Example 2: Performance Testing of Magnets
[0189] The magnetic properties of the neodymium iron boron rare earth permanent magnets were tested using the PFM-14 pulse magnetic property measuring instrument from the National Institute of Metrology, China. Table 5 shows the results of the magnetic property testing.
[0190] Table 5 Magnetic Properties of Neodymium Iron Boron Rare Earth Permanent Magnets
[0191]
[0192]
[0193] As shown in Table 5, the permanent magnets of the embodiments of the present invention have high remanence, coercivity and squareness, and have low remanence temperature coefficient and coercivity temperature coefficient, as well as high magnet Curie temperature and excellent heat resistance.
[0194] As can be seen from Comparative Example 1, when the Co content in the magnet is low, the remanence temperature coefficient of the magnet is poor, and the performance decays quickly at high temperatures. Furthermore, when the Pr content in the magnet is high, the mechanical properties of the magnet will be reduced due to the different composition and content of the grain boundary phase when the rapid cooling method of this scheme is adopted.
[0195] As shown in Comparative Example 2, when the Co content in the magnet is too high, R2Co 17 The formation of soft magnetic impurities will be unavoidable, the coercivity of the magnet will be greatly reduced, and the remanence and temperature coefficient of coercivity will be significantly reduced.
[0196] As can be seen from Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the absence of Al in the magnet will increase the amount of soft magnetic phase precipitation and reduce the coercivity. On the other hand, excessive Al content will cause the remanence of the magnet to drop rapidly. Although it has good coercivity, the magnetic energy product of the magnet is very low, and its practical value is poor.
[0197] Comparative Examples 5-7 show that the heating and cooling rates during magnet sintering and first-stage aging processes affect the R2Co content in the magnet. 17 The content of soft magnetic phase has a significant impact. Insufficient heating or cooling rates will increase the soft magnetic phase in the magnet, reduce the coercivity of the magnet, and worsen the temperature coefficient.
