Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of NdFeB magnets, in particular to a high-temperature resistant NdFeB magnet and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] In today's rapidly developing modern industry and electronics, rare earth permanent magnets, with their unique properties, play a key role. Among them, neodymium iron boron, a highly representative rare earth permanent magnet, exhibits exceptional properties. Its exceptionally high magnetic energy product and coercivity, along with its significant energy density, have revolutionized numerous fields. In the instrumentation field, it facilitates the miniaturization of equipment, improving measurement accuracy and convenience. In electroacoustic motors, it drives product lightweighting, reducing energy consumption while improving efficiency. NdFeB also enables thinner magnetic separation and magnetization equipment, optimizing performance.

[0003] However, NdFeB magnets face some challenges in practical applications. Due to their inherent characteristics, magnetic properties tend to degrade easily in high-temperature environments, and their corrosion resistance is poor. To address these problems, protective treatments are usually performed on the surface of NdFeB magnets, such as electroplating, chemical plating, physical vapor deposition, or composite coatings. However, these traditional treatment methods have many drawbacks, complex process operations, and extremely high requirements for technology and equipment, which increase production costs and difficulty. More importantly, even after treatment, the magnet's ability to withstand high temperatures still cannot reach the ideal state. Under high-temperature conditions, the deterioration of the magnet's performance has severely limited its further application in aerospace, new energy vehicles, high-temperature industrial equipment, and other fields that have stringent requirements for the material's high-temperature resistance.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a NdFeB magnet with good high-temperature resistance and its preparation process, which is of great significance for expanding the application scope of NdFeB magnets and promoting the development of related industries. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Furthermore, during the preparation of the NdFeB magnet blank, the vertical magnetic field strength is 1.8-2T, the pressing pressure is 20-21MPa, and the cold isostatic pressing pressure is 14000-15000kgf / cm 2 The vacuum sintering temperature is 1070-1090℃, the vacuum sintering time is 5-6h, the annealing temperature is 450-470℃, and the annealing time is 4-5h.

[0014] Furthermore, the components of the diffusion source alloy powder include: 75-y-zwt% terbium, ywt% aluminum, zwt% cerium, 20wt% copper, and 5wt% zinc, wherein y=0-30; z=0-15.

[0015] Furthermore, the total coating amount of the diffusion source alloy powder is 2-3wt% of the mass of the NdFeB magnet blank, and the coating amount on the upper and lower surfaces of the NdFeB magnet blank is the same.

[0016] Furthermore, during the preparation of the high-temperature resistant NdFeB magnet, the heat treatment temperature is 900-905° C., the heat treatment time is 6-6.5 h, the vacuum annealing temperature is 500-505° C., and the vacuum annealing time is 3-3.5 h.

[0017] Furthermore, the preparation method of the high temperature resistant varnish comprises the following steps:

[0018] Prepare ethanol and water solution in a volume ratio of 15:1, add acetic acid to adjust the pH to 1.9-2.1, add KH-570, stir evenly, add hollow glass microspheres, heat to 70-75°C and stir for 3-4 hours, cool to room temperature, filter, and vacuum dry to obtain modified hollow glass microspheres;

[0021] Furthermore, the spraying thickness of the high temperature resistant varnish is 0.2-0.8 mm.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The present invention adds a ternary auxiliary alloy to the NdFeB magnet. The Co element can replace the Fe in the grain boundary phase. The formed NdCo alloy has a low melting point under a specific composition, is suitable for liquid phase sintering, and can improve the corrosion resistance of the magnet; the Ga element inhibits the formation of the soft ferromagnetic phase and increases the intrinsic coercive force of the magnet. The synergistic effect of the two improves the high-temperature stability of the magnet.

[0024] 2. In the process of mixing NdFeB powder and ternary auxiliary alloy powder, the present invention additionally adds tri-n-butyl borate as a lubricant, with the aim of improving the orientation of the magnetic powder in the magnetic field forming stage so that it fully covers the surface of the magnetic powder, thereby improving the arrangement of the magnetic powder in the magnetic field, and ultimately achieving the effect of increasing the intrinsic coercive force and maximum magnetic energy product of the magnet. By increasing the intrinsic coercive force, the thermal stability of the magnet is improved, and the high temperature resistance of the magnet is further enhanced.

[0025] 3. The present invention further coats alloy powder on the upper and lower surfaces of the sintered magnet blank. On the one hand, after treatment, the coated alloy powder will form a shell around the magnet grains, further inhibiting the nucleation of the reverse magnetization domain, thereby improving the coercive force. On the other hand, elements such as Cu and Zn tend to be distributed at grain boundaries and triple grain boundaries. Zn can reduce the magnetization intensity of the grain boundary phase and enhance the decoupling effect between adjacent grains, which helps to improve the coercive force and further improve the performance and high temperature resistance of the magnet.

[0026] 4. In addition to improving the high-temperature resistance of the magnet itself, this invention also achieves thermal insulation from the external environment by spraying a high-temperature resistant coating on the magnet surface, further increasing the magnet's maximum operating temperature without affecting its own magnetic properties. By using hollow glass microspheres as insulating filler and combining them with a high-performance polyether nitrile ketone resin, the high-temperature resistant coating achieves both low thermal conductivity and high thermal stability.
