Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rare earth permanent magnet technology, specifically to a method for preparing and applying an organic suspension for improving the coercivity of sintered NdFeB magnets. Background Technology

[0002] Sintered NdFeB, as a third-generation permanent magnet material, is widely used in new energy vehicles, industrial motors, consumer electronics, and medical devices due to its excellent magnetic properties. Especially in recent years, the rise of new energy vehicles has propelled the application market for sintered NdFeB magnets towards higher-end applications, meaning that the performance of sintered NdFeB magnets needs to reach a new level. However, the actual coercivity of sintered NdFeB is far lower than its theoretical value, and NdFeB without special treatment cannot meet the requirements of some application scenarios.

[0003] In the art, heavy rare earth elements are typically introduced during the fabrication of magnets to significantly improve their coercivity through grain boundary diffusion. Common methods for heavy rare earth diffusion include magnetron sputtering, coating, and electrophoretic deposition. However, these methods suffer from drawbacks such as low heavy rare earth utilization and high production costs. Existing technologies also include coating suspensions specifically designed for grain boundary diffusion in sintered NdFeB magnets, but these often suffer from poor dispersion and coating consistency due to improper solvent selection, powder particle size, and processing techniques. Therefore, this invention relates to a novel coating-type diffusion source suspension. Compared to the methods described above, this method offers higher heavy rare earth utilization, lower cost, and superior magnet performance. Summary of the Invention

The mixture is kept at room temperature for 2-4 hours to allow the alloy to absorb hydrogen and become embrittled. Then, a vacuum is applied to 1×10⁻⁶ MPa. -2 Pa, heated to 450-600℃ for dehydrogenation, to obtain coarse powder with a particle size of 80-100μm.

[0027] Optionally, step S203 specifically includes:

[0034] An application of an organic suspension for improving the coercivity of sintered NdFeB magnets, the specific application process is as follows:

[0035] (1) Select sintered NdFeB blanks, use ultrasonic cleaning to remove surface oil stains, and then use plasma treatment to improve surface roughness and enhance coating adhesion;

[0036] (2) A uniform base coating is formed on the surface of the blank by air spraying, and then the coating is scraped and repaired with a precision scraper to control the coating thickness to 50-100μm; for complex shaped magnets, dip coating combined with infrared thermometry is used.

[0037] (3) Place the coated magnet into a hot air circulating oven and keep it at 120-180℃ for 20-40 minutes to allow the polymer resin to initially cure and prevent the coating from peeling off during subsequent heat treatment; after baking, cool to room temperature and use a thickness gauge to check the coating thickness deviation ≤5μm;

[0043] This invention provides a method for preparing an organic suspension for improving the coercivity of sintered NdFeB magnets and its application, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0044] The organic suspension uses heavy rare earth powder with smaller particle size, which makes it easier to enter the magnet during grain boundary diffusion, effectively improving the coercivity of the magnet and saving more medium rare earth content, resulting in more significant cost benefits. The polymer resin used in the organic suspension has a low melting point and low carbon content, which can be converted into volatiles during sintering and effectively removed, reducing the impact of impurity elements on the magnet performance.

[0045] Furthermore, the equipment used in this invention is all used in the process of preparing sintered NdFeB, eliminating the need to purchase other equipment and simplifying the preparation process, thus enabling mass production. Attached Figure Description
