Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of neodymium-iron-boron magnetic materials, and specifically to a high-strength neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Neodymium-iron-boron magnetic materials are materials with extremely high magnetic energy and coercivity, and are widely used in technical fields such as motors, power generation equipment, and electronic equipment. However, due to the relatively high brittleness of the grain boundary phase, its mechanical strength is insufficient (the flexural strength is usually only 260-320 MPa), and it is prone to fracture, which limits its application in high-stress environments such as high-speed motors.

[0003] In the prior art, grain boundary additives are usually introduced to uniformly regulate the grain boundary phase to improve mechanical properties. First, the improvement of the properties by grain boundary additives needs to be further improved. Second, traditional dry pressing and sintering are difficult to achieve uniform regulation of the grain boundary phase, and there are defects such as segregation or abnormal grain growth during sintering, which affect the mechanical strength. In addition, neodymium-iron-boron materials also have the defect of being easily oxidized and electrochemically corroded by the environment. Especially in humid or salt spray environments, an oxide layer is easily formed on the surface, resulting in attenuation of magnetic properties.

[0004] In summary, to solve the above problems, it is of great significance to prepare a high-strength neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-strength neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material and a preparation method thereof to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A preparation method of a high-strength neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material, comprising the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Mix neodymium-iron-boron powder with a grain boundary additive; add an ethanol solution and disperse it ultrasonically to obtain a mixed material; transfer it to a double-layer mold with a through-hole structure, set a magnetic field, perform wet pressing and cold isostatic pressing treatment to obtain a green compact; sinter and anneal it in sequence to obtain a neodymium-iron-boron magnet;

[0012] Preferably, in step 1, the magnetic field strength is 1.5 to 2 T, the pressure for wet pressing is 25 to 28 MPa; the pressure for cold isostatic pressing is 100 to 200 MPa;

[0013] The sintering process is as follows: in an argon atmosphere, heat up to 200 to 250 °C at a rate of 1 to 2 °C / min and hold for 5 to 10 minutes; then heat up to 1050 to 1100 °C at a rate of 10 to 15 °C / min and sinter for 2 to 3 hours; the annealing process is as follows: in an argon atmosphere, heat treat at 850 to 900 °C for 1 to 2 hours, and then heat treat at 500 to 600 °C for 1 to 2 hours.

[0014] Preferably, after grinding, the surface roughness of the neodymium iron boron magnet is 0.4 to 1.6 μm; the coating thickness is 10 to 30 μm.

[0015] Preferably, the process parameters for the pretreatment with the phosphoric acid solution are: pretreat at 70 to 75 °C for 1 to 2 hours;

[0016] The phosphoric acid solution comprises the following components: 0.5 to 1 wt% tetraethyl orthosilicate, 1 to 2 wt% phosphoric acid, 2.2 to 2.5 wt% isopropanol, 0.2 to 0.3 wt% deionized water, 0.5 to 1 wt% amino silane coupling agent, and the balance is ethanol.

[0017] Preferably, the magnetic conductive coating comprises the following components: by weight, 50 parts of silicon-modified epoxy resin, 8 to 12 parts of modified magnetic powder, 10 to 12 parts of curing agent, and 0.1 to 0.5 part of defoaming agent.

[0018] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified magnetic powder is: add nanocrystalline Ni-Zn ferrite powder into the phosphoric acid solution, stir at 78 to 80 °C for 3 to 4 hours, filter and dry to obtain the modified magnetic powder; the mass ratio of the nanocrystalline Ni-Zn ferrite powder to the phosphoric acid solution is 5 to 10:100.

[0020] A high-strength neodymium iron boron magnetic material prepared by the preparation method of a high-strength neodymium iron boron magnetic material.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: In this application, specific grain boundary additives effectively strengthen and toughen the grain boundary phase; and assist the wet pressing forming process to improve uniformity and promote the improvement of magnetism and strength; in addition, a coating with both magnetic conductivity and corrosion resistance is further coated on its surface to ensure the comprehensive performance of the high-strength NdFeB magnetic material.

[0022] In the solution, the grain boundary additive is formed by compounding neodymium-boron alloy powder and gallium powder; among them, the neodymium-boron alloy powder, as the homologous phase of the NdFeB powder, can promote the continuity of the grain boundary phase during the sintering process, reduce the direct contact of the main phase grains, thereby inhibiting intergranular fracture. It should be noted that the boron content in the neodymium-boron alloy powder needs to be limited, and the grain boundary phase is better distributed within the limited range, and the phenomenon of irregular grains appears less. Among them, introducing gallium into the grain boundary can form a low-melting-point liquid phase Nd-Ga during the sintering process to fill the grain boundary voids and enhance the interface bonding. Further, it should be noted that the ratio of the two needs to be limited. Excessive introduction of gallium will lead to too wide grain boundaries, forming a non-magnetic weak phase, which will instead reduce the coercivity. Thus, the compounding of the two not only ensures the strengthening and toughening of the grain boundary, but also avoids the excessive aggregation of the low-melting-point phase. It makes the distribution of the grain boundary phase uniform, thereby significantly improving the bending strength of the magnet.

[0023] In the solution, through the process of wet pressing forming under a magnetic field, the uniform dispersion of the grain boundary additive is promoted, effectively ensuring that the grains are oriented along the easy magnetization axis, improving the remanence and coercivity, and enhancing the magnetic properties; realizing the synchronous uniform filling of the slurry and magnetic field orientation, avoiding the problem of uneven density in the traditional dry pressing method. Through cold isostatic pressing treatment, the internal pores are eliminated, the density is increased, and the mechanical properties are strengthened; through segmented temperature-controlled sintering and annealing, the excessive growth of grains is effectively inhibited, and the magnetic domain structure is optimized.

[0024] In the solution, further to improve the corrosion resistance of the NdFeB magnet, a magnetic conductive coating is coated on its surface; to effectively ensure the magnetism, first, the thickness of the coating is limited to effectively ensure good magnetism and reduce the influence on magnetism; second, phosphoric acid is pre-used for pretreatment to form a conversion film to improve the adhesion of the coating and reduce the influence on magnetism; third, based on silicon-modified epoxy resin, a higher content of modified magnetic powder is introduced to effectively improve the magnetic conductivity. At the same time, using nanocrystalline Ni-Zn ferrite powder as the magnetic conductor, after modification, it has good interfacial compatibility with silicon-modified epoxy resin, effectively ensuring uniform magnetism. And a magnetic promoter is introduced into the curing agent of the epoxy resin, which can not only promote the crosslinking of the epoxy resin, but also improve the magnetic conductivity of the coating, reduce the magnetic circuit loss, and synergistically improve the magnetic conductivity and corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0025] In summary, through the collaborative design of materials - processes - coatings, the present invention solves the problems of insufficient strength and toughness and easy corrosion of NdFeB magnets. On the basis of ensuring magnetism, the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance are effectively improved, and its applicability in complex environments is increased.

[0081] (2) Based on 100 wt%, weigh the raw materials and prepare a phosphoric acid solution according to the ratio of 0.8 wt% tetraethyl orthosilicate, 2 wt% phosphoric acid, 2.5 wt% isopropyl alcohol, 0.25 wt% deionized water, 0.5 wt% amino silane coupling agent, and the rest is ethanol;

[0082] (3) Add nano-crystalline Ni-Zn ferrite powder to the phosphoric acid solution, and the mass ratio of nano-crystalline Ni-Zn ferrite powder to the phosphoric acid solution is 10:100. Stir and process at 78 °C for 3 hours, filter and dry to obtain a modified magnetic powder material;

[0083] (4) Weigh and mix according to the ratio of 50 parts of silicon-modified epoxy resin, 12 parts of modified magnetic powder material, 11 parts of isophorone diamine, and 0.2 part of defoaming agent by weight to obtain a magnetic conductive coating;

[0084] Step 1: Mix the NdFeB powder with the grain boundary additive, and the addition amount of the grain boundary additive accounts for 1.4 wt% of the NdFeB powder; add an ethanol solution, and the volume ratio of the NdFeB powder to the ethanol solution is 1:2. Disperse ultrasonically to obtain a mixed material; transfer it to a double-layer mold with a through-hole structure, set the magnetic field strength to 1.5 T, wet press and form at 28 MPa, and perform cold isostatic pressing at 150 MPa to obtain a green compact; heat it in an argon atmosphere at a rate of 2 °C / min to 200 °C and hold for 5 minutes; then heat it at a rate of 15 °C / min to 1090 °C and sinter for 2 hours; perform heat treatment at 900 °C for 2 hours in an argon atmosphere, and then perform heat treatment at 500 °C for 2 hours; obtain an NdFeB magnet;

[0085] Step 2: Grind the surface of the NdFeB magnet to a surface roughness of 0.8 μm; place it in a phosphoric acid solution and pretreat it at 70 °C for 2 hours; then spray a magnetic conductive coating on its surface and cure it to form a coating with a thickness of 15 μm; obtain a high-strength NdFeB magnetic material.

[0086] Performance Test 1: The high-strength Nd-Fe-B magnetic materials prepared in the examples and comparative examples were subjected to relevant performance tests. Among them, the flexural strength test was carried out with reference to GB / T31967.2 at a rate of 0.5 mm / min; the magnetic property A was measured using a gaussmeter, and then it was immersed in a 3.5 wt% aqueous sodium chloride solution for 72 hours. After cleaning and drying, the magnetic property B was further tested. The obtained data are shown in the following table:

[0087] Conclusion: It can be seen from the data in the above table that: in this application, the flexural strength is effectively improved by a specific proportion of grain boundary additives, and the corrosion resistance is further improved by the coating. Comparing the data of Example 1 with Comparative Examples 1-5, in Comparative Example 1, only a single Nd-B alloy powder was used, resulting in insufficient grain boundary liquid phase and a decrease in properties such as strength; in Comparative Example 2, the increase in the content of gallium powder led to non-magnetic weaknesses and a decrease in related properties; in Comparative Example 3, dry pressing was used, resulting in poor compactness and grain boundary segregation, and a decrease in properties; in Comparative Example 4, the nanocrystalline Ni-Zn ferrite powder was not modified, resulting in poor compatibility and a decrease in related properties; in Comparative Example 5, the curing agent had no magnetic promotion effect, leading to a decrease in magnetic conductivity and adhesion, and a decrease in related properties.
