AI Technical Summary
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.
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.
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.
