Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a rare-earth permanent magnet with low magnetic declination. Background Technology
[0002] Re-Fe-B rare earth permanent magnets are the strongest permanent magnet materials with the strongest comprehensive magnetic properties discovered to date. They are widely used in fields such as 3C electronics, new energy vehicles, wind power generation, industrial motors, drones, humanoid robots, and aerospace, playing an irreplaceable role in information technology and intelligent manufacturing.
[0003] Magnetic declination is the angle between the magnetic moment and the magnetizing field, directly affecting the performance and application of magnetic products. The presence of magnetic declination causes stray fields to be generated in the unmagnetized direction of the magnet, affecting the precision of the sensor. A large magnetic declination will increase the vibration and noise of the permanent magnet motor, leading to a decrease in motor efficiency and accuracy.
[0004] High-performance Re-Fe-B rare earth permanent magnet materials are generally prepared using a vacuum sintering process. The specific steps are: 1. Preparing powder using a rapid solidification-hydrogen-airflow milling process; 2. Pressing the powder into a compact with a uniform orientation using an orientation molding technique; 3. Obtaining anisotropic magnet blanks through vacuum sintering and tempering heat treatment; 4. Machining and surface protection treatment of the blanks to obtain the shape and size required for the application; 5. Assembling and using the magnets after saturation magnetization. During manufacturing, the non-uniformity of the orientation magnetic field and the dimensional shrinkage of the magnets during sintering cause magnetic declination. Since an accurate reference surface cannot be found, improper machining may further amplify the magnetic declination. With industrial development and technological progress, magnetic devices are developing towards higher precision, miniaturization, and intelligence, placing higher demands on the consistency of the output magnetic field of NdFeB rare earth materials. Therefore, developing low magnetic declination magnets and their preparation technology has broad practical significance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a method for preparing a rare-earth permanent magnet with low magnetic declination.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0007] A method for preparing a low magnetic declination rare-earth permanent magnet includes the following steps:
[0008] S1. Blank preparation: Re-Fe-B rare earth magnet square blanks are prepared by processes such as rapid solidification, powder making, orientation molding, and vacuum sintering.
[0009] S2. Blank preparation: Grind the six sides of the square blank flat to make a magnet blank;
[0010] S3. Magnetization: Magnetize the magnet blank along the orientation direction;
[0011] S4. Mark the fundamental plane: Measure the magnetic declination and mark efgh as the fundamental plane, which is perpendicular to the magnetic moment M;
[0012] S5, Tempering;
[0013] S6. Black film preparation: Based on the marked efgh fundamental plane, a black film is prepared by machining.
[0014] S7. Glitter preparation: Surface treatment is performed on the black sheet product to obtain the glitter product.
[0015] Preferably, in step S1, Re is at least one element selected from La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, and Y.
[0016] Preferably, in step S1, the orientation forming magnetic field strength is greater than or equal to 2.0T.
[0017] Preferably, in step S1, the compression density is 3.5~4.0 g / cm³. 3 .
[0018] Preferably, in step S1, the vacuum sintering temperature is 1020~1100℃ and the time is 2~10 hours.
[0019] Preferably, in step S3, the magnetization state can be either saturated magnetization or unsaturated magnetization.
[0020] Preferably, in step S4, the magnetic declination is measured using a Vihermholz coil.
[0021] Preferably, in step S5, a two-stage tempering process is used.
[0022] Preferably, in step S5, a three-stage tempering process is used; the temperature of the third-stage tempering is higher than that of the second-stage tempering.
[0023] Preferably, in step S6, using the marked efgh fundamental plane as a reference, the orientation direction a 1 b 1 c 1 d 1 upper end face and a 2 b 2 c 2 d 2 The lower end face is cut into a plane parallel to the basic plane of efgh, and then further machined.
[0024] Compared with existing technologies, the method for preparing low magnetic declination rare earth permanent magnets of the present invention marks a basic surface on the magnet blank after magnetization. The basic surface efgh is perpendicular to the magnetic moment M. After the magnet blank is tempered, the marked basic surface is used as a reference for subsequent processing, which prevents the problem of amplified magnetic declination due to the lack of a reference surface in subsequent processing. Experimental data show that the low magnetic declination Re-Fe-B rare earth magnets prepared by the present invention have a magnetic declination that is significantly lower than that of magnets prepared by traditional processes, and all are within 1°. They can be better applied in high-precision, miniaturized and intelligent fields. Attached Figure Description
