AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing rare earth permanent magnet material preparation processes have drawbacks such as long preparation cycles, difficulty in controlling crystal orientation, difficulty in obtaining small-sized single crystals, and complex or high-energy consumption processes. In particular, it is difficult to achieve efficient and precise control in the preparation of nanoscale single crystal particles.

Method used

By employing a focused ion beam combined with magnetic field orientation, Sm-Fe-N matrix material is pre-oriented in an external magnetic field, and small single crystal particles are precisely milled using a focused ion beam system. The orientation state is then fixed by epoxy resin or low-temperature hot pressing, thus achieving controllable crystal orientation.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the preparation efficiency of single crystal particles of rare earth permanent magnet materials, greatly shortens the cycle, allows for controllable crystal orientation and height, ensures consistent batches, precisely controls particle size, produces excellent magnetic properties, and features a simple and environmentally friendly process.

Abstract

This invention relates to a method for preparing crystal orientation controllable small-particle single-crystal magnetic materials using a focused ion beam combined with a magnetic field orientation, comprising the following steps: (1) preparing an Sm-Fe-N matrix material; subsequently placing the material in an external magnetic field to collectively orient the grains along the c-axis, and immediately fixing the orientation state; (2) selecting a perfect single-crystal region using a focused ion beam-scanning electron microscope dual-beam system, milling and cutting the above material with the ion beam, collecting small-particle single crystals, thereby obtaining crystal orientation controllable small-particle single-crystal magnetic materials. The equipment of this invention is relatively universal, the operation is precise, and the cycle is extremely short (completed within a few hours), significantly improving the preparation efficiency of single-crystal particles of rare earth permanent magnet materials.
