Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of magnet preparation, and in particular to a grain boundary diffusion composite film, a rare earth permanent magnet and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the third generation of rare earth permanent magnet materials, NdFeB has the characteristics of high remanence, high coercivity and maximum magnetic energy product. Sintered NdFeB magnets made of neodymium, iron and boron as the main raw materials are increasingly used for their excellent magnetic properties. They are widely used in the fields of nuclear magnetic resonance, computers, hybrid vehicles, various motors and wind turbines. Generally speaking, sintered NdFeB magnets made of rare earth praseodymium and neodymium have low coercivity, poor resistance to reverse magnetic field and high temperature, and are easy to lose magnetism. They can only be used in environments with low reverse magnetic field and not too high temperature.

[0003] In order to improve the coercivity of magnets and reduce the amount of heavy rare earth used in magnets, the method generally recognized in the industry is grain boundary diffusion technology. For example, the patent application with publication number CN106328367A mentions the use of heavy rare earth Tb for grain boundary diffusion, and the patent application with publication number CN108039259A uses an inner layer of low melting point metal (melting point ≤ 500°C) and an outer layer of heavy rare earth or heavy rare earth alloy layer for diffusion, which improves the utilization rate of heavy rare earth, solves the problem of high cost, and greatly improves the performance of magnets.

[0004] However, the existing grain boundary diffusion technology has obvious defects and pain points. In the process of heavy rare earth elements diffusing into the interior of the magnet along the grain boundaries, the heavy rare earth elements will inevitably enter the main phase grains on the surface of the magnet in large quantities, and cannot diffuse deeper into the magnet more efficiently, resulting in a large amount of enrichment of heavy rare earth elements on the surface of the magnet during the diffusion process, which greatly affects the diffusion speed and diffusion depth of the heavy rare earth elements, resulting in increased diffusion weight gain. In addition, excessive entry of heavy rare earth elements into the main phase will greatly increase the reduction in remanence. Summary of the invention

[0050] Example 1

[0051] A method for preparing a rare earth permanent magnet comprises the following steps:

[0052] (1) A RTBM sintered magnet is prepared by a method known to those skilled in the art, wherein R is Pr, Nd, and the total amount thereof is 30.5wt%, M is Al, Cu, Ga, Co, Zr, and Ti, and the total amount thereof is 1.5wt%, the total amount of B is 0.95wt%, and the remaining elements are Fe, and the matrix properties are Br=14.6KGs and Hcj=14.00KOe. The preparation method of the RTBM sintered magnet in this embodiment is as follows:

[0053] 1) The magnet raw materials are vacuum melted and poured into 0.2-0.35mm thick sheets at a pouring temperature of about 1440℃;

[0054] 2) Hydrogen crushing for coarse crushing and dehydrogenation at 560°C;

[0055] 3) Jet milling to prepare powder with a particle size of 3.0 μm;

[0056] 4) Use a forming press to press a 60*40*36mm blank and perform cold isostatic pressing at 200MPa;

[0057] 5) Vacuum sintering is performed at 1070°C for 6 hours to obtain a sintered magnet.

[0058] (2) machining the sintered magnet (including multi-wire, wire cutting, slicing, double-sided grinding, etc.) into a product of the desired shape, with the specification of the sample to be infiltrated being 29.0×11.5×2.0 mm, and performing surface activation treatments such as degreasing, ultrasonic cleaning / pickling, and sandblasting;

[0059] (3) Use screen printing, spraying and other processes to attach Dy on the surface of the sintered magnet in sequence 85 B 15and Tb3H 1.5 , the number of attached film layers is 2.

[0060] (4) The sintered magnet with the film layer deposited is heat treated in a vacuum sintering furnace. The heat treatment includes a primary heat treatment temperature range of 850°C-950°C and a heat treatment time of 5h-40h, a secondary heat treatment temperature range of 400°C-700°C and a heat treatment time of 2.5h-6.5h, and the vacuum degree of the diffusion furnace is controlled at 10 -1 -10 -4 Pa, so that the elements of the composite film layer diffuse into the interior of the sintered magnet.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Dy 85 B 15 ,Tb3H 1.5 and Pr 94 Al6, the number of attached film layers is 3, Dy 85 B 15 Need to be attached to the innermost layer.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Dy 85 B 15 O and Pr 12 8T 80 , the number of attached film layers is 2, Dy 85 B 15 O needs to be attached to the innermost layer.

[0065] Example 4

[0066] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Dy 85 B 15 O、Tb3H 1.5 and Pr 94 Al6, the number of attached film layers is 3, Dy 85 B 15 O needs to be attached to the innermost layer.

[0067] Example 5

[0068] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Dy 18 B 3.5 P6A 2.5 Tb 70, the number of attached film layers is 1.

[0069] Comparative Example 1

[0070] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that Tb3H 1.5 , the number of film layers is 1.

[0071] Comparative Example 2

[0072] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that Pr 12 8T 80 , the number of film layers is 1.

[0073] The magnets prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were subjected to performance tests and SEM analysis. The performance test results are shown in Table 1. The SEM analysis results are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.

[0074] Table 1 Performance test data of magnets prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0075]

[0076] Table 1 except Tb3H 1.5 Except for the atomic ratio, the rest are mass percentages. The mass percentage of Dy in DyB or DyBO is 75-95%, the mass percentage of B is 5%-25%, the content of O in DyBO is less than 10000ppm, and the content of O in this embodiment is 1400ppm. The mass percentage of Tb in PrAlTb is 25-90%, the mass percentage of Pr is 0-40%, the mass percentage of Al is 0-40%, the content of Al in PrAl is less than 9.5% of the content of Pr, and the content of Dy in DyBPrAlTb is less than 25%, the mass percentage of B is less than 5%, the mass percentage of Pr is less than 10%, the mass percentage of Al is less than 5%, and the content of Tb is greater than 45%;

[0077] The above Dy 85 B 15 or Dy 85 B 15 O addition ratio is 0.2Wt%; Pr 94 The Al6 addition ratio is 0.2Wt%.

[0078] The weight gain in Table 1 refers to the percentage of Tb in the weight of the magnet. The ICP center test method is to cut out the core of the magnet with a thickness of 0.5 mm, and then grind it into powder and then test the Tb result by ICP. Under the same weight gain, the greater the ICP of the center of the magnet, the less the enrichment of Tb / Dy on the surface of the magnet.

[0079] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the composite film layer magnet containing boride, boron oxide or boron element in the embodiment has significantly improved magnet performance, remanence and coercivity have been improved, more Tb is tested in the center of the magnet, and the enrichment of Tb on the surface of the magnet is less, thereby inhibiting the heavy rare earth elements from entering the main phase grains on the surface of the magnet, promoting the heavy rare earth elements to diffuse more efficiently into the depth of the magnet, reducing the concentration difference between the surface and the center of the magnet, and then reducing the amount of heavy rare earth and increasing the diffusion depth of the magnet. Among them, the remanence of Example 1 decreases very little, the coercivity is improved, and more Tb is tested in the center of the magnet. In Examples 2-5, the remanence and coercivity are improved, the ICP of the center of the magnet is significantly increased, and the enrichment of Tb on the surface of the magnet is less. The comparative example is a single film layer and does not contain boride, boron oxide or boron element, and the data in all aspects are significantly different from those in Examples 1-5.

[0080] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The scanning electron microscope images of the magnet surface prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 are shown in Figures 1 and 2. By comparison, the magnet surface prepared in the comparative example has more rare earth element enrichment ( Figure 2 The surface grains of the magnet prepared by the present invention are more intact, with complete grain outlines and more uniform distribution of rare earth elements.

[0081] The above indicates that the composite film layer magnet containing boride, boron oxide and boron element has a good improvement effect on the distribution of heavy rare earth, especially when multiple types of film layers are combined, it has a better effect of improving the magnet performance.

[0082] Example 6

[0083] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Y3H 1.5 ,Tb3H 1.5 , the number of film layers is 2, Y3H 1.5 Need to be attached to the innermost layer.

[0084] Example 7

[0085] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Y3H 1.5 、Dy 85 B 15 ,Tb3H 1.5 , the number of film layers is 3, Y3H 1.5 Need to be attached to the innermost layer.

[0086] Example 8

[0087] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Dy 85 B 15 ,Y3Tb 97 , the number of film layers is 2, Dy 85 B 15 Need to be attached to the innermost layer.

[0088] Example 9

[0089] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Dy 85 B 15 ,Y2Tb 90 Cu8, the number of film layers is 2, Dy 85 B 15 Need to be attached to the innermost layer.

[0090] Comparative Example 3

[0091] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that TbH is attached to the surface of the sintered magnet by using a process such as silk screen printing or spraying, and the number of film layers is one.

[0092] Comparative Example 4

[0093] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that TbCu is attached to the surface of the sintered magnet by using a process such as silk screen printing or spraying, and the number of film layers is one.

[0094] Table 2 Performance test data of magnets prepared in Examples 6-9 and Comparative Examples 3-4

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] In Table 2, except Tb3H 1.5 ,Y3H 1.5 Except for the atomic percentage, the rest are mass percentages. The mass percentage of Dy in DyB is 75-95%, the mass percentage of B is 5%-25%, the mass percentage of Tb in YTb is 90-99.9%, the amount of Y added to the film is 0.1-10%, the mass percentage of Tb in TbCu is 25-90%, the mass percentage of Cu is 10-75%, and the Y content in YTbCu is 0.1-10%, the mass percentage of Tb is 25-90%, and the mass percentage of Cu is 10-75%;

[0098] The above Dy 85 B 15 The addition ratio is 0.2Wt%; Y3H 1.5 The addition ratio was 0.43 wt%.

[0099] It can be seen from Table 2 that the magnet performance is obviously improved to a certain extent by using the magnet with Y element composite diffusion. The influence of Y on the magnet surface on the change of the crystal structure and the formation energy of the magnet has a certain effect of inhibiting the Tb element from entering the surface main phase grains.
