Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of magnetic materials technology, specifically to a method for preparing a high-performance heavy rare-earth neodymium iron boron magnet. Background Technology

[0002] Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets are the second strongest permanent magnets after holmium magnets at absolute zero, and are also the most commonly used rare-earth magnets. Due to their excellent properties of high remanence, high coercivity, and high energy product, they are widely used in permanent magnetic field devices and equipment such as electroacoustics, telecommunications, motors, instruments, nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic levitation, and magnetic sealing. They are particularly suitable for manufacturing various high-performance products, such as VCM wafers for optical drive motors, heterogeneous magnets in the acoustic field, helical magnets in oil exploration drilling rigs, and various sizes and shapes of products in permanent magnet motors.

[0003] Currently, traditional high-grade sintered NdFeB magnets rely on the addition of heavy rare earth elements Dy and Tb to achieve high coercivity and high remanence. However, heavy rare earth elements Dy and Tb are scarce and expensive. When Dy and Tb are doped in trace amounts, the distribution of Dy and Tb is inconsistent, resulting in poor grain boundary continuity after high-temperature sintering and low product performance consistency.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a method for preparing high-performance heavy rare earth-free NdFeB magnets to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing high-performance heavy rare earth neodymium iron boron magnets. The prepared neodymium iron boron magnets have both high coercivity and high remanence, effectively ensuring their performance and quality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for preparing a high-performance heavy rare-earth neodymium iron boron magnet includes the following steps: Step 1, Rapid solidification: The main phase alloy is batched according to the design ratio and added to a vacuum rapid solidification sintering furnace. It is preheated and refined at a temperature of 1400-1500℃, and then cast and cooled by copper rollers to obtain rapid solidification sheets. Step 2, Powder Mixing: The quick-setting flakes are put into the hydrogen crushing furnace for hydrogen crushing. After the hydrogen crushing is completed, the resulting coarse powder is pretreated. Then, antioxidants and lubricants are added to the pretreated coarse powder, and the mixture is stirred evenly. The resulting mixed powder is then stored for later use. Step 3, Powdering: The mixed powder obtained in Step 2 is prepared into fine powder with an average particle size of 2-3.5 μm by air jet milling; Step 4: Magnetic Field Forming and Isostatic Pressing: The obtained fine powder is placed in a sealed magnetic field press mold under nitrogen protection for magnetic orientation pressing to form a green body, which is then vacuum-sealed. Isostatic pressing is then applied and maintained to achieve a density of 4.2 ± 0.3 g / cm³. 3 raw blanks; Step 5, Sintering: The green blank obtained in Step 4 is placed in a vacuum sintering furnace, and after sintering and tempering, a high-performance heavy rare earth-free NdFeB magnet is obtained.

[0007] Furthermore, the main phase alloy is composed of the following components by mass percentage: 28-31 wt.% Pr25Nd75, 0.88-1.2 wt.% B, 0-0.1 wt.% Al, 0.05-0.3 wt.% Ti, 0.05-0.4 wt.% Cu, 0.5-1.4 wt.% Co, 0.1-0.4 wt.% Ga, with the balance being Fe.

[0008] Furthermore, the thickness of the rapidly solidified flakes is 0.15-0.5 mm, the proportion of columnar crystals is greater than 70%, and the rare earth-rich phase is uniformly distributed around the main phase grains without obvious agglomeration.

[0009] Furthermore, the method for preparing the pretreated coarse powder is as follows: Lanthanum nitrate and cerium nitrate are added to ethanol and fully dissolved to prepare a mixed solution with a lanthanum nitrate concentration of 0.1-0.2 mol / L and a cerium nitrate concentration of 0.1-0.15 mol / L. Under nitrogen protection, the coarse powder is immersed in the mixed solution with a mass of 3-5 times its weight, and ultrasonically vibrated at a frequency of 35-40 kHz while magnetically stirred at a rate of 120-180 r / min for 30-50 min. Then, the obtained mixed components are filtered, and the resulting solid filter material is placed in a vacuum drying oven and vacuum dried at 70-90℃ for 1-2 h to obtain the pretreated coarse powder.

[0010] Furthermore, the amount of antioxidant used is 0.05-0.1 wt.% of the pretreated coarse powder, and the antioxidant is any one of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, tert-butylhydroquinone, and butylated hydroxyanisole.

[0011] Furthermore, the amount of the lubricant used is 0.05-0.08 wt.% of the pretreated coarse powder, and the lubricant is any one of zinc stearate, aluminum stearate, and magnesium stearate.

[0012] Furthermore, the specific procedures for sintering and tempering are as follows: first, sinter at 1050-1100℃ for 4-5 hours, then cool to below 100℃; then perform a first-stage tempering at 880-920℃ for 2-3 hours, cool to below 80℃, then raise the temperature to 460-560℃, perform a second-stage tempering at this temperature for 4-6 hours, and then cool to room temperature.

[0013] Furthermore, during the hydrogen destruction process, hydrogen is absorbed at a temperature of 180-220℃ and a pressure of 0.1-0.3MPa for 2-3 hours, and then heated to 400-600℃ for dehydrogenation treatment at this temperature for 6-10 hours.

[0014] Furthermore, the conditions for magnetic field orientation pressing in step four are as follows: orientation molding is performed under nitrogen protection with a magnetic field strength of 1.5-2.5T and a pressure of 50-100MPa; then, cold isostatic pressing is performed at a pressure of 230-300MPa for 3-6 minutes.

[0015] Furthermore, the grinding pressure of the air jet mill during powder production is set to 5.8-6.2 MPa, and the powder output speed is set to 120-150 kg / h.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention involves impregnating hydrogen-degraded NdFeB coarse powder in a mixed solution containing lanthanum nitrate and cerium nitrate, followed by ultrasonic-magnetic stirring. This process uniformly coats the particle surface with lanthanum and cerium in the form of nitrates, which are then converted into nanoscale rare earth oxides during subsequent sintering. These highly active oxides, distributed at grain boundaries, effectively purify the grain boundary phase, inhibit abnormal growth of the main phase grains, and optimize the wettability of the rare earth-rich phase, promoting the formation of a continuous and thin grain boundary structure. This significantly improves the coercivity and thermal stability of the magnet without relying on heavy rare earth elements. Furthermore, the cavitation effect generated by ultrasonic vibration deeply cleans the particle surface and breaks up soft agglomerates. Combined with magnetic stirring, this ensures uniform coating, greatly improving the powder's dispersibility and surface condition. This benefits the subsequent air jet milling process to obtain fine powder with a concentrated particle size distribution and regular shape, and also enhances the powder's flowability and magnetic field orientation during the forming process, laying the foundation for achieving high remanence. In addition, the lanthanum-cerium precursor layer formed on the surface can also protect against oxygen during processing, reduce powder oxidation, and ensure the stability of magnetic properties.

[0017] 2. This invention achieves excellent magnetic properties even without heavy rare earth elements. The improved coercivity is also attributed to the addition of trace elements Ga, Cu, and Al, and the reduction of B content. During magnet sintering, the reduction of B content and the addition of Al significantly enhance the coercivity of the magnet, and the Nd6Fe exhibits strong wettability during sintering. 13 Ga phase along Nd2Fe 14 The B-phase grains are uniformly distributed, forming a continuous and thin grain boundary layer, which greatly enhances the coercivity of the magnet without significantly reducing the remanence.
