TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of magnetic materials, in particular to a high-performance sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Magnetic materials are a kind of functional materials with a long history and wide application. With the progress of industry and technology, a large number of new magnetic materials have appeared. These materials can be roughly divided into three generations: the first generation is AlNiCo, the second generation is ferrite, and the third generation is rare earth permanent magnet. The rare earth permanent magnet can be further divided into three stages: the first stage is SmCo5, the second stage is Sm2Co 17 , and the third stage is Nd2Fe 14 B. From simple daily packaging magnets to complex new energy vehicles, wind turbines and other fields, magnets have great application prospects.

[0003] However, the common neodymium-iron-boron magnet has a large corrosion potential difference due to different alloy elements, which easily causes corrosion of the magnet and affects the service life and safety of the magnet. SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to provide a high-performance sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet and a preparation method thereof to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the application provides the following technical scheme: a high-performance sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet is composed of a neodymium-iron-boron magnet blank and a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating coated on the surface of the neodymium-iron-boron magnet.

[0006] The ingredient composition of the neodymium-iron-boron magnet blank includes, in terms of weight percentage, Nd: 30-34%, B: 1.8-2.9%, Er: 9.8-12.6%, Co: 2.4-3.8%, Nb: 1.9-2.4%, Tm: 1.4-1.9%, Zr: 0.21-0.28%, and the balance is Fe.

[0007] The corrosion-resistant epoxy coating is formed after the corrosion-resistant epoxy resin coating is cured.

[0008] A preparation method of a high-performance sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet comprises the following steps:

[0009] S1. preparing a neodymium-iron-boron magnet blank;

[0010] S11. mixing the raw materials according to the proportion, placing them in a smelting furnace, filling argon gas into the smelting furnace to 0.05 MPa after vacuumizing, heating and smelting, and then casting ingots, and placing the ingots in a vacuum environment to fill hydrogen to perform hydrogen fragmentation treatment on the ingots;

[0011] S12. Place the hydrogen-treated ingot back into a vacuum environment, heat it to 300-400℃, and hold it for 1.5-3 hours to complete the dehydrogenation process.

[0012] S13. After the dehydrogenated ingot is coarsely ground into powder, it is then subjected to air jet milling to obtain fine ingot powder. The fine ingot powder is collected and isostatically pressed into shape to obtain an ingot blank.

[0013] S14. Sinter the ingot blank to obtain a neodymium iron boron magnet blank;

[0014] S2. Preparation of corrosion-resistant epoxy coatings;

[0015] S3. After spraying the corrosion-resistant epoxy coating prepared in step S2 onto the surface of the NdFeB magnet blank, the temperature is raised to 50℃ and held for 10-15 min. Then, the temperature is raised to 85-95℃ at a rate of 1-3℃ / min and held for curing for 30-45 min. Finally, the temperature is cooled to room temperature to obtain a high-performance sintered NdFeB magnet.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, the method for preparing the corrosion-resistant epoxy coating includes the following steps:

[0017] S21. Under nitrogen atmosphere protection, carboxylated graphene is dispersed in dimethyl sulfoxide and ultrasonically dispersed for 45-90 min. Then, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide is added and ultrasonically dispersed for another 15-30 min. The mixture is then added dropwise to 2-azidoethylamine at a uniform rate over 1-4 h. During the addition, the reaction system temperature is controlled at 85-105℃ and the mixture is stirred continuously. After the addition is completed, the mixture is kept at the same temperature and ultrasonically vibrated for another 2-5 h. The precipitate is then separated by centrifugation and washed with diethyl ether 2-5 times. Finally, it is dried to constant weight to obtain azide-modified graphene.

[0018] S22. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, butynedioic acid is dispersed in diethyl ether and stirred until homogeneous. Then, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide is added and mixed for 5-15 min. The mixture is then added dropwise to 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane. The temperature is raised to 35°C and stirred for 1-2 h to remove the diethyl ether. The temperature is then raised again to 85-120°C and stirred for 4-8 h to obtain a terminal aminosilane intermediate.

[0019] S23. Disperse the terminal aminosilane intermediate in DMF, stir and mix evenly, then add it dropwise to 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-bis[3-(epoxyethyl methoxy)propyl]disiloxane, heat to 90-100℃, stir and react for 2-4 hours, then remove excess solvent and unreacted 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-bis[3-(epoxyethyl methoxy)propyl]disiloxane monomer by rotary evaporation, then add clean DMF again, heat to 110-125℃, add azide-modified graphene, sonicate and react for 4-8 hours, centrifuge to separate the precipitate, wash the precipitate 2-3 times with DMF, and dry to constant weight to obtain modified graphene;

[0020] S24. After mixing E51 epoxy resin, modified graphene, and antioxidant evenly, add curing agent and continue mixing for 5-10 minutes to obtain corrosion-resistant epoxy coating.

[0021] Furthermore, in step S21, the mass ratio of the carboxylated graphene, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and 2-azidoethylamine is 1:(0.015-0.02):(1.5-10).

[0022] Furthermore, in step S22, the mass ratio of butynedioic acid, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane is 1:(0.01-0.015):(3.5-4.4).

[0023] Furthermore, in step S23, the mass ratio of the terminal aminosilane intermediate, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-bis[3-(epoxyethylmethoxy)propyl]disiloxane, and azide-modified graphene is 1:(1-1.2):0.1.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S24, the corrosion-resistant epoxy coating is composed of 50 parts of E51 epoxy resin, 1.5-5 parts of modified graphene, 0.4-0.9 parts of antioxidant, and 11-14 parts of curing agent by weight.

[0025] Furthermore, in step S24, the antioxidant is antioxidant 1010, and the curing agent is dicyandiamide.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] In order to improve the service life of magnets, this invention first limits the magnet material itself. By controlling its composition and sintering process, and using gradient heating and heat preservation processes, the sintered magnet has a more uniform distribution of magnet grains, thereby making the magnetization of the material more uniform.

[0028] Furthermore, based on this, the present invention also modified its anti-corrosion coating. The present invention first modified the surface of the carboxyl graphene material by using 2-azidoethylamine as a modifier and utilizing the reaction between amino and carboxyl groups to introduce azide groups on the graphene surface.

[0029] Based on this, the present invention uses butynedioic acid containing alkynyl and terminal carboxyl groups as a raw material, reacting it with 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane containing a terminal amino group, and further reacting it with 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-bis[3-(epoxyethylmethoxy)propyl]disiloxane containing a terminal epoxy group, thereby introducing a large amount of silicon element, terminal epoxy group, and alkynyl group into the reaction product; then, graphene containing azide groups is introduced into the reaction system, and the azide groups will... The graphene reacts with acetylene groups to introduce a long carbon chain structure of silicon and terminal epoxy groups onto the graphene surface. The introduction of silicon can effectively improve the corrosion resistance and protective properties of the coating. Furthermore, the terminal epoxy groups allow graphene to participate in the curing of epoxy resin. Considering the high brittleness of epoxy resin after curing, this invention also introduces a long carbon chain structure during the modification of graphene. The long carbon chain can effectively alleviate the defect of high brittleness and easy peeling off of the coating after graphene participates in the curing of epoxy resin, which is beneficial to maintaining the protective function of the coating for a long time.
