Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite coating preparation methods, and more specifically, to a preparation method of an epoxy-modified organic silicon resin composite coating on the surface of a (Ce, Nd)-Fe-B magnet. Background Art

[0002] Cerium-NdFeB has excellent magnetic properties and low cost, and has been widely used in various industrial sectors such as electroacoustics, electronics, aerospace, etc. However, due to its multi-phase structure and the large potential difference between the phases, it is prone to corrosion and failure, which is a major reason for the limited development and application of it.

[0003] Currently, effective corrosion protection methods for cerium-neodymium-iron-boron magnets, both domestically and internationally, primarily fall into two categories: alloying and surface protection. While alloying improves the magnet's corrosion resistance, it also affects its magnetic properties. The high cost of alloying elements also limits its application. Therefore, surface protection treatment is currently the most widely used method. Organic coatings, as a modern surface treatment technology, are the most convenient, direct, and cost-effective corrosion protection method. They are applicable to both new and in-service equipment and components, making them widely used across various industrial sectors. Silicone materials, a semi-inorganic, semi-organic polymer compound, combine the properties and functions of both inorganic and organic materials. They not only possess the excellent weather resistance, oxidation resistance, electrical insulation, flame retardancy, water absorption, and corrosion resistance of inorganic silica, but also offer the ease of processing of organic polymers, allowing them to be tailored to meet diverse application requirements. However, the high cost, poor mechanical properties, and difficulty in fully curing of pure silicone resins significantly limit their industrial application. Epoxy resin has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages such as low price, simple preparation, good chemical stability and environmental friendliness. However, due to the volatilization of some solvents in epoxy coatings during the curing process, microporous defects are easily formed, leading to the rapid intrusion of external corrosive media. In addition, the corrosion resistance of water-based epoxy resin itself is relatively poor, which greatly limits its industrial application.

[0004] Therefore, we proposed a method for preparing epoxy-modified silicone resin composite coating on the surface of (Ce, Nd)-Fe-B magnet to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
