Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a rare earth permanent magnet and a manufacturing method thereof, and a motor comprising the rare earth permanent magnet. Background Art

[0002] R2Fe 14 R-Fe-B rare earth sintered magnets with B as the main phase are high-performance permanent magnets and are mainly used in voice coil motors for hard disk drives, motors for hybrid vehicles, and various home appliances.

[0003] The anti-demagnetization ability of a motor refers to the ability of the motor to resist the influence of external magnetic fields during operation. Generally speaking, the stronger the anti-demagnetization ability of a motor, the higher its stability and reliability. The strength of the anti-demagnetization ability of a motor is closely related to the materials used. For example, for permanent magnet motors, the coercive force of permanent magnet materials is an important factor affecting the anti-demagnetization ability.

[0004] Generally speaking, in the actual operation of the motor, the corners of the magnet are most likely to demagnetize. Some studies only diffuse heavy rare earths in the corners of the magnet to increase the coercivity, thereby reducing the amount of heavy rare earths used and improving the product cost performance. However, the overall coercivity of the magnet obtained in this way is low, and the anti-demagnetization performance still needs to be improved.

[0005] CN113506665A discloses a method for improving the coercivity of NdFeB magnets by efficient diffusion, comprising: coating the edges of NdFeB magnets with a grain boundary diffuser containing heavy rare earth, light rare earth or no rare earth, and then performing heat treatment. The coercivity of the magnets obtained by this method still needs to be improved.

[0006] CN117497276A discloses a RT-Ga-B rare earth permanent magnet based on optional regional grain boundary diffusion and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises: coating a diffusion source in a selected area on the diffusion surface of a NdFeB magnet substrate, coating the diffusion source in the corner area of ​​the diffusion surface, and not coating the diffusion source in the non-corner area, wherein the diffusion source is a mixed dry powder of heavy rare earth and metal Ga, and then performing diffusion treatment to obtain the RT-Ga-B rare earth permanent magnet based on optional regional grain boundary diffusion.

[0007] CN115602402A discloses a rare earth permanent magnet and a method for preparing the same. The rare earth permanent magnet comprises an outer surface P1 and an adhesive surface P2 opposite to the P1. The coercive force of the central portion a1 of the P1 surface is set to H. a1 , the coercive force of the central part a2 of the bonding surface P2 is set to H a2 , satisfying H a1 >H a2; Establish a rectangular coordinate system with a2 as the origin, take the length direction of P2 surface as the X axis, take the width direction of P2 surface as the Y axis, and set the coercive force at the (0, -Y) position b1 on the edge of P1 surface as H b1 , let the coercive force at position c1 (X, -Y) on the edge of the P1 surface be H c1 , let the coercive force at position d1 (X, 0) on the edge of the P1 surface be H d1 , satisfying: the value of Y is less than the value of X, H a1 ≈H b1 , H a1 <H c1 , H a1 <H d1 The rare earth permanent magnet needs to be coated twice or multiple times, and the preparation method is slightly complicated. Moreover, the coercive force of the obtained rare earth permanent magnet still needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0104] Preparation Example 1-Rare Earth Permanent Magnet

[0105] This embodiment provides a rare earth permanent magnet, which is installed on a radial flux motor.

[0106] The rare earth permanent magnet is a rectangular parallelepiped structure having a length, a width and a height. The height direction is defined as an H direction, which is the easy magnetization direction of the rare earth permanent magnet. The width direction is defined as a W direction.

[0107] The rectangular parallelepiped structure has two parallel surfaces A1 and An consisting of a length and a height; there are several sections Ai parallel to the surface A1 between the surface A1 and the surface An, among which the section located at the central axis of the rectangular parallelepiped structure is denoted as Aj.

[0108] Along the W direction, from surface A1 to surface Aj, the coercive force H cj Decrease; along the W direction, from the surface An to the cross section Aj, the coercive force H cj Reduced. Let the coercive force of a point D1 on the surface A1 be H1, and an extension line is drawn from point D1 along the W direction, and the extension line intersects with the section Aj at point E1; let the coercive force of point E1 be H1', ​​then H1-H1'>80kA / m. Let the coercive force of a point Dn on the surface An be Hn, and an extension line is drawn from point Dn along the W direction, and the extension line intersects with the section Aj at point En; let the coercive force of point En be Hn', then Hn-Hn'>80kA / m. And D1, E1 and Dn are on the same straight line in the W direction, and E1 and En coincide.

[0109] In the W direction, the relationship between the coercive force y of a certain point of the rare earth permanent magnet and the position x of the point approximately satisfies the parabola y=ax 2 +bx+c, where a>0, b<0, c>0. A point on the surface A1 of the rare earth permanent magnet is taken as the origin of the plane rectangular coordinate system, the W direction is the x-axis, the value range of x is 0.1-20, and the H direction is the y-axis.

[0110] The manufacturing method of the rare earth permanent magnet is introduced below, comprising the following steps:

[0111] An initial sintered NdFeB magnet was provided, with a size of 39 mm (length) × 17.8 mm (width) × 4 mm (height, ie, orientation direction), and the surface of the magnet was polished. The composition of the initial sintered NdFeB magnet is shown in Table 1 below.

[0112] Table 1

[0113] Components PcqI B Dy Cu Co Ga Ti Fe wt% 29.97 0.95 0.54 0.19 1.08 0.21 0.15 margin

[0114] Note: The weight ratio of Pr to Nd is 1:3.

[0115] The height direction of the initial sintered NdFeB magnet is recorded as H0 direction, and the width direction is recorded as W0 direction; the H0 direction is made the same as the H direction of the formed rare earth permanent magnet; the W0 direction is made the same as the W direction of the formed rare earth permanent magnet.

[0116] Along the direction perpendicular to H0, two opposite surfaces of the initial sintered NdFeB magnet are respectively covered with a heavy rare earth coating containing Dy to obtain a magnet A. Specifically, the following steps are included: the initial sintered NdFeB magnet is placed in a spraying device, one surface (the surface of 39mm×17.8mm) of the magnet faces upward, and is preheated at 180°C, and then the heavy rare earth coating containing Dy is covered on the surface by spraying. The single-sided weight gain of Dy is 0.325wt%. The magnet is turned over. The other surface (the opposite side of the surface of 39mm×17.8mm) is covered with a heavy rare earth coating containing Dy by spraying to obtain a magnet A. The single-sided weight gain of Dy is 0.325wt%.

[0117] Along the direction perpendicular to W0, two opposite sides of magnet A are respectively covered with a heavy rare earth coating containing Tb to obtain magnet B. Specifically, the following steps are included: one side (39mm×4mm side) of magnet A is facing upward, preheated at 180°C, and the heavy rare earth coating containing Tb is covered on the side by spraying. The single-side weight gain of Tb is 0.075%. Turn the magnet over, and cover the other side (the opposite side of the 39mm×4mm side) with a heavy rare earth coating containing Tb by spraying to obtain magnet B. The single-side weight gain of Tb is 0.075%.

[0118] The magnet B is heat treated to obtain the rare earth permanent magnet. Specifically comprising the following steps: heating the magnet B to a first temperature of 100°C and keeping it at 100°C for 1 hour. Then, heating it to a second temperature of 200°C and keeping it at 200°C for 1 hour. Then, heating it to a third temperature of 500°C and keeping it at 500°C for 1 hour. Continue heating it to a fourth temperature of 920°C and keep it at 920°C for 12 hours. Stop heating, cool it to below 50°C with argon, then heat it to a fifth temperature of 490°C and keep it at 490°C for 5 hours. Stop heating, cool it to below 50°C with argon, and obtain a rare earth permanent magnet.

[0119] Reference Figure 3 , three samples with the size of 17.8mm×4mm×1mm were cut along the length and width direction of the rare earth permanent magnet (length is 39mm, width is 17.8mm). The cutting parts are located at two end positions and one center position in the length direction of the magnet (length is 39mm), namely position 1, position 2, and position 3.

[0120] Reference Figure 4 , cut the 17.8mm×4mm×1mm sample along the center line position and two edge positions in the H direction (height is 4mm) to obtain samples with a size of 1mm×1mm×1mm, 15 samples per layer, and the serial numbers are shown in the following table. The room temperature properties of the samples were measured respectively, as shown in Table 2. Since positions 1 and 3 are symmetrical, only the properties of the samples cut from position 1 were measured. The coercivity curves of the samples from A1 to A15 at position 1 are formed, as shown in Table 2. Figure 5 .

[0123] It can be seen that in the rare earth permanent magnet of the present invention, in the W direction, the coercive force of the rare earth permanent magnet has a tendency to decrease from both ends to the middle. And the difference between the coercive force H1 of a certain point D1 on the surface A1 of the rare earth permanent magnet (for example, the coercive force of the A1 sample is 2030 kA / m) and the coercive force H1' of the point E1 where the extension line from point D1 along the W direction intersects the cross section Aj (for example, the coercive force of the A8 sample is 1843 kA / m) is greater than 80 kA / m, for example, 187 kA / m.

[0124] Similarly, the difference between the coercive force of the A15 sample (2019 kA / m) and the coercive force of the A8 sample (1843 kA / m) is greater than 80 kA / m, for example, 176 kA / m.

[0125] Likewise, the difference between the coercive force of the B1 sample (2013 kA / m) and the coercive force of the B8 sample (1738 kA / m) is greater than 80 kA / m, for example, 275 kA / m.

[0127] In the W direction, the relationship between the coercive force y of a certain point of the rare earth permanent magnet and the position x of the point approximately satisfies the parabola y=ax 2 +bx+c, where a>0, b<0, c>0. A point on the surface A1 of the rare earth permanent magnet is taken as the origin of the plane rectangular coordinate system, the W direction is the x-axis, the value range of x is 0.1-20, and the H direction is the y-axis.

[0128] At the edge (A1 to A15), the parabola is a = 2.3, b = -40.3, c = 2029.0; R 2 =0.9691.

[0129] In the center (B1-B15), the parabola is a=3.6, b=-64.0, c=2020.8; R 2 =0.9515.

[0130] for Figure 3 Continue sampling at position 2: Figure 4 As shown, the sample at position 2 is sampled and tested in the same manner as the sample at position 1, and the samples are A1' to A15'.

[0134] It can be seen from this that in the rare earth permanent magnet of the present invention, in the W direction, the coercive force of the rare earth permanent magnet tends to decrease from both ends to the middle.

[0135] Moreover, the difference between the coercive force H1 of a certain point D1 on the surface A1 of the rare earth permanent magnet (for example, the coercive force of the A1' sample is 2035 kA / m) and the coercive force H1' of the point E1 where the extension line from point D1 along the W direction intersects the cross section Aj (for example, the coercive force of the A8' sample is 1848 kA / m) is greater than 80 kA / m, for example, it can be greater than or equal to 187 kA / m.

[0136] Likewise, the difference between the coercivity of the A15' sample (2026 kA / m) and the coercivity of the A8' sample (1848 kA / m) is greater than 80 kA / m, for example, 178 kA / m.

[0137] Similarly, the difference between the coercive force of the B1' sample (2009 kA / m) and the coercive force of the B8' sample (1741 kA / m) is greater than 80 kA / m, for example, 268 kA / m.

[0138] Likewise, the difference between the coercive force of the B15' sample (1991 kA / m) and the coercive force of the B8' sample (1741 kA / m) is greater than 80 kA / m, for example, 250 kA / m.

[0139] In the W direction, the relationship between the coercive force y of a certain point of the rare earth permanent magnet and the position x of the point approximately satisfies the parabola y=ax 2 +bx+c, where a>0, b<0, c>0. A point on the surface A1 of the rare earth permanent magnet is taken as the origin of the plane rectangular coordinate system, the W direction is the x-axis, the value range of x is 0.1-20, and the H direction is the y-axis.

[0140] At the edge (A1' to A15'), the parabola is a = 3.3, b = -52.5, c = 2064.0; R 2 =0.9669.

[0141] In the center (B1'-B15'), the parabola is a = 5.0, b = -81.1, c = 2063.9; R 2 =0.9579.

[0144] Example 2 - Motor

[0145] like Figure 2 As shown, 16 rare earth permanent magnets of Example 1 are divided into 8 groups and evenly arranged in a circumferential direction along the rotation direction of the motor. The connecting line between the end faces of each group of rare earth permanent magnets that are far apart is located on a regular octagon. In each group of rare earth permanent magnets, the angles between the two rare earth permanent magnets are the same, and they are arranged in a V shape.

[0146] Comparative Preparation Example 1

[0147] The difference from Preparation Example 1 is that the terbium Tb attached in the direction perpendicular to W0 is replaced by dysprosium Dy. The details are as follows:

[0148] The orientation direction of the initial sintered NdFeB magnet is recorded as H0 direction, and the width direction is recorded as W0 direction; the H0 direction is made the same as the H direction of the formed rare earth permanent magnet; the W0 direction is made the same as the W direction of the formed rare earth permanent magnet.

[0149] Along the direction perpendicular to H0, two opposite surfaces of the initial sintered NdFeB magnet are respectively covered with a heavy rare earth coating containing Dy to obtain a magnet A. Specifically, the following steps are included: the initial sintered NdFeB magnet is placed in a spraying device, one surface (the surface of 39mm×17.8mm) of the magnet faces upward, and is preheated at 180°C, and then the heavy rare earth coating containing Dy is covered on the surface by spraying. The single-sided weight gain of Dy is 0.325wt%. The magnet is turned over. The other surface (the opposite side of the surface of 39mm×17.8mm) is covered with a heavy rare earth coating containing Dy by spraying to obtain a magnet A. The single-sided weight gain of Dy is 0.325wt%.

[0150] Along the direction perpendicular to W0, two opposite sides of magnet A are respectively covered with a heavy rare earth coating containing Dy to obtain magnet B".

Specifically, the following steps are included: the magnet B" is heated to a first temperature of 100°C, and kept at 100°C for 1 hour. Then, the temperature is raised to a second temperature of 200°C, and kept at 200°C for 1 hour. Then, the temperature is raised to a third temperature of 500°C, and kept at 500°C for 1 hour. The temperature is continued to be raised to a fourth temperature of 920°C, and kept at 920°C for 12 hours. Stop heating, cool to below 50°C with argon gas, then raise the temperature to a fifth temperature of 490°C, and keep at 490°C for 5 hours. Stop heating, cool to below 50°C with argon gas, and obtain a rare earth permanent magnet.

[0155] In Table 4, in the W direction, the coercive force of the rare earth permanent magnet does not gradually decrease from the two ends to the middle. Moreover, the difference H1-H1' between the coercive force of A1" 1785kA / m and the coercive force of A8" 1781kA / m is less than 80kA / m, and the difference Hn-Hn' between the coercive force of A15" 1788kA / m and the coercive force of A8" 1781kA / m is less than 80kA / m.

[0159] Comparative Example 2 - Motor

[0160] like Figure 2 As shown, 16 rare earth permanent magnets of comparative preparation example 1 are divided into 8 groups and evenly arranged in a circumferential direction along the rotation direction of the motor. The connecting line between the end faces far apart of each group of rare earth permanent magnets is located on a regular octagon. In each group of rare earth permanent magnets, the angles between the two rare earth permanent magnets are the same, and they are arranged in a V shape.

[0161] The rare earth permanent magnets obtained in Example 1-2 and Comparative Example 1-2 were installed in the motor, and the back electromotive force V0 was measured at room temperature. High temperature load tests at 120°C, 140°C, and 160°C were performed, and then the back electromotive force V was measured after returning to room temperature. t , use the following formula to calculate the corresponding attenuation ratio α:

[0162] α=(V0-V t ) / V0×100%.

[0163] The calculation results are shown in Table 5.

[0166] It can be seen from the table that in the W direction, the coercive force of the rare earth permanent magnet has a tendency to gradually decrease from both ends to the middle (that is, along the W direction, from surface A1 to surface Aj, the coercive force Hcj Decrease; along the W direction, from the surface An to the cross section Aj, the coercive force H cj When H1-H1' is greater than 80kA / m and Hn-Hn' is greater than 80kA / m, the motor has smaller high-temperature attenuation and stronger anti-demagnetization ability.
