[0002] As a medium for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, rare earth permanent magnet materials are currently used as core components in new energy fields such as wind power generation and electric vehicles due to their excellent magnetic properties. At the same time, with their extremely high energy density, they are constantly driving electronic equipment towards high efficiency, light weight, and miniaturization. Now the development level of permanent magnet materials has become an important indicator to measure the development level of a country.

[0003] Grain boundary diffusion technology is a new technology developed in recent years to improve the magnetic properties and reduce the weight of rare earth in sintered NdFeB materials. Under the same coercivity, its heavy rare earth content is only 20-30% of that of traditional high coercivity sintered NdFeB permanent magnets, and the remanence remains basically unchanged. To this end, the present invention discloses a new technology for grain boundary diffusion of cerium-rich NdFeB magnets using a low-melting-point Dy-Co-Al-Cu nanocrystalline alloy. First, a cerium-rich NdFeB thin ribbon amorphous alloy is prepared by melt rapid quenching method and a low-melting-point Dy-Co-Al-Cu nanocrystalline alloy is prepared by high-energy ball milling technology to obtain two alloys with different forms and structures. At the same time, the low-melting-point Dy-Co-Al-Cu nanocrystalline alloy and a polyethylene glycol dispersant are configured into a uniform suspension in anhydrous ethanol, and then the amorphous thin ribbon alloy is immersed in the suspension and subsequently diffused heat treated under a low magnetic field to obtain the final high-performance cerium-rich NdFeB magnet. The cerium-rich NdFeB thin ribbon magnet prepared by this method has a wide range of applications and can be used to prepare bonded magnets or as a hard magnetic phase to prepare composite magnets.
