Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rare earth permanent magnetic materials, and in particular to an R-Fe-B series permanent magnetic material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Nd-Fe-B rare earth permanent magnets, known as the "King of Magnets," are widely used in new energy vehicles, high-end electronic components, and other fields due to their excellent magnetic properties and relatively low price. The rapid promotion and popularization of emerging technologies such as new energy vehicles, energy-saving motors, wind turbines, energy-saving home appliances, and industrial robots has significantly increased demand for Nd-Fe-B rare earth permanent magnets. At the same time, downstream application scenarios for Nd-Fe-B rare earth permanent magnets continue to expand. The gradual maturity of technologies such as 5G and the Internet of Things is making smart homes, smart travel, and smart entertainment a reality. Potential growth areas for future demand, such as humanoid robots, are also emerging.
[0003] The related process for producing high-performance NdFeB sintered magnets requires large amounts of doping with heavy rare earth elements (Dy and Tb) to achieve high coercivity. However, Dy and Tb are scarce in rare earth minerals and have high market prices. In addition, heavy rare earth elements Dy and Tb form ferrimagnetic coupling with the Fe element in the magnet grains. Large amounts of doping can significantly reduce the remanence and maximum magnetic energy product. Therefore, the production of high-performance NdFeB sintered magnets mostly uses the grain boundary diffusion process, which can significantly reduce the use of heavy rare earth elements. However, the grain boundary diffusion process includes surface impregnation, electrophoretic deposition, evaporation and magnetron sputtering, requiring specialized equipment and huge investment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide an R-Fe-B permanent magnet material and a preparation method thereof.

[0026] The present invention utilizes a dual-phase system (comprising a first-phase R-Fe-BM alloy and a second-phase R-Fe-BM alloy) combined with a grain boundary phase R-Ga-M alloy. This grain boundary phase R-Ga-M alloy forms a low-melting-point alloy primarily composed of light rare earth elements. During vacuum sintering, it melts into a liquid phase, facilitating liquid-phase sintering and promoting magnet densification. This enhances the intrinsic coercivity of R-Fe-B permanent magnets without the addition of heavy rare earth elements (Dy and Tb) or the need for grain boundary diffusion. Furthermore, the preparation method of the present invention does not utilize heavy rare earth element (Dy and Tb) diffusion sources, thus eliminating the need for additional grain boundary diffusion processes and limiting the thickness of the magnet. This differs from related art methods, which require the sintered and aged magnet to be machined into a specific-shaped diffusion substrate (less than 8 mm thick), treated with traditional grain boundary diffusion processes (such as surface impregnation, electrophoretic deposition, evaporation, and magnetron sputtering), and then subjected to a long diffusion process. The preparation method of the present invention can not only prepare magnets with high coercivity, but also has no limitation on the thickness of the R-Fe-B permanent magnet material and does not require the addition of special grain boundary diffusion equipment. The entire preparation process is short and easy to operate, suitable for large-scale industrial production, and reduces production costs.
[0027] The data of the examples show that the present invention does not utilize heavy rare earth element diffusion sources (Dy and Tb) and does not perform grain boundary diffusion, but achieves the intrinsic coercivity Hcj ≥ 20 kOe of the R-Fe-B permanent magnet material without heavy rare earth elements by adding grain boundary phase R-Ga-M alloy.
[0028] The present invention also provides an R-Fe-B permanent magnet material prepared by the preparation method described in the above technical solution. The R-Fe-B permanent magnet material of the present invention can be applied to new energy vehicles, wind power new energy, automotive energy-saving electrical equipment, energy-saving home appliances, energy-saving elevators, robots and other intelligent equipment as well as smart consumer electronics such as mobile phones.

Limiting the content of the M element within the above range can control the content of other elements and reduce the impact on magnetic properties.
[0039] In the present invention, when M in the first main phase R-Fe-BM alloy preferably includes one or more of Ga, Ge, Zn, Sn, Ag and Si, the contents of Ga, Ge, Zn, Sn, Ag and Si in the first main phase R-Fe-BM alloy are independently preferably 0wt%~0.25wt% and not 0wt%, specifically 0.1wt%, 0.15wt% or 0.25wt%. Limiting the Ga content within the above range can make the first main phase R-Fe-BM alloy a low gallium alloy, provide a high main phase component ratio, and enable the dual main phase system of the present invention to have high remanence and high magnetic energy product performance characteristics, while suppressing the tendency of the main phase components of the dual main phase system of the present invention to decompose during the aging process.
[0040] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first main phase R-Fe-BM alloy is preferably Nd28FebalCu0.2Co1Ga0.15Zr0.2Nb0.3B1 (wt%), (Pr0.25Nd0.75)29.5FebalCu0.2Co1.2Ga0.1Zr0.15Nb0.2B0.98 (wt%), (Pr0.2Nd0.8)29FebalCu0.2Co1Ga0.15Zr0.25Nb0.1B0.96 (wt%) or (Pr0.2Nd0.8)28Ce1.5FebalCu0.1Co1Ga0.15Zr0.25Nb0.15B1 (wt%).
[0041] In the present invention, the first main phase R-Fe-BM alloy is preferably used in the form of an alloy casting sheet. The thickness of the alloy casting sheet is preferably 0.15~0.4mm, specifically 0.15, 0.2, 0.26, 0.28, 0.3 or 0.4mm. The present invention has no special limitation on the source of the alloy casting sheet. It is preferred that the alloy casting sheet be prepared by a vacuum thin sheet rapid solidification furnace. The present invention has no special limitation on the specific parameters of the vacuum thin sheet rapid solidification furnace for preparing the alloy casting sheet.
[0042] In the present invention, the temperature of the first dehydrogenation is preferably 500-580°C, specifically 500, 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560, 570 or 580°C.

[0046] In the present invention, when M in the second main phase R-Fe-BM alloy preferably includes one or more of Ga, Ge, Zn, Sn, Ag and Si, the contents of Ga, Ge, Zn, Sn, Ag and Si in the second main phase R-Fe-BM alloy are independently preferably 0.25wt% to 0.56wt%, specifically 0.25wt%, 0.3wt%, 0.4wt%, 0.5wt% or 0.56wt%. Limiting the Ga content within the above range can make the second main phase R-Fe-BM alloy a high gallium alloy. The dual main phase system in the present invention can produce RE6Fe during the preparation process. 13 The Ga non-magnetic phase reduces the iron content in the continuous grain boundary region, realizes magnetic decoupling of adjacent main phase grains, and improves the coercive force performance of the dual main phase system of the present invention.

By adding gallium to lower the melting point of the alloy, the present invention controls the content of each element in the grain boundary phase R-Ga-M alloy within the above-mentioned range to form a low-melting-point alloy mainly composed of light rare earth elements. During the vacuum sintering process, it will melt into a liquid phase, which is beneficial to liquid phase sintering and promotes magnet densification. In addition, the intrinsic coercive force of the R-Fe-B permanent magnet material can be improved without adding heavy rare earth elements Dy and Tb and without the need for a grain boundary diffusion process.
[0054] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the grain boundary phase R-Ga-M alloy is preferably Pr60Ga20Cu20 (wt%), Pr60Ga20Cu15Al5 (wt%) or (Pr0.2Nd0.8)70Ga20Cu5Al5 (wt%).
