Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an RTB magnet and a method for manufacturing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Neodymium iron boron permanent magnet materials, as important rare earth functional materials, have excellent comprehensive magnetic properties and are widely used in many fields such as the electronics industry, electric vehicles, etc. However, currently, the poor temperature stability of neodymium iron boron magnet materials limits their application in high temperature ranges.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN102412044A discloses a neodymium-iron-boron magnet material containing 23-30% Nd, 0.5-8% Dy, 0.2-0.5% Ti, 2.5-4% Co, 0.2-3.8% Nb, 0.05-0.7% Cu, 0.01-0.9% Ga, and 0.6-1.8% B. This patent document only mentions that the combined addition of Ti, Ga, and Co significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the material, while Ga, instead of Dy, performs some functions in the material and reduces costs. However, this patent does not further discuss how this affects the performance of the magnet material. The examples disclose the mass percent contents of each component as follows: 28.3% Nb, 3.2% Dy, 0.3% Ti, 2.7% Co, 0.7% Nb, 0.4% Cu, 0.25% Ga, and 1.2% B. This magnetic material formulation does not fully utilize the improvements in magnetic properties that each element provides to a neodymium-iron-boron-based magnetic material, and it is not possible to obtain a magnetic material that combines good coercivity, residual magnetic flux density, and high-temperature stability.

[0004] Currently, there is a need to further optimize the formulation of neodymium iron boron magnet materials in the prior art in order to obtain magnet materials with better overall magnetic performance. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0056] The present invention further provides a method for manufacturing the RTB magnet, which includes the steps of subjecting a raw material mixture of each component of the RTB magnet to a sintering treatment and an aging treatment.

[0057] In the present invention, the sintering temperature can be set to a temperature common in this field, preferably 1000 to 1100°C, and further, for example, 1080°C.

[0058] In the present invention, the sintering process is preferably carried out under vacuum conditions, for example, 5×10 -3The test is carried out under vacuum conditions of 0.1 Pa.

[0059] In the present invention, the sintering time can be a time commonly used in the art, and is generally 4 to 8 hours, for example, 6 hours.

[0060] In the present invention, the aging treatment can be a conventional aging process in the art, which generally includes a first stage aging treatment and a second stage aging treatment.

[0061] Here, the temperature of the first stage aging treatment can be a temperature that is common in the art, and is preferably 860 to 920°C, for example, 880°C or 900°C.

[0062] Here, the time for the first stage aging treatment can be a time that is common in the art, and is preferably 2.5 to 4 hours, for example, 3 hours.

[0063] Here, the temperature of the second stage aging treatment can be a temperature that is common in the art, and is preferably 460 to 530°C, for example, 500°C, 510°C, or 520°C.

[0064] Here, the time for the second stage aging treatment is preferably 2.5 to 4 hours, for example, 3 hours.

[0065] In the present invention, when the RTB magnet further contains a heavy rare earth element, it generally further contains grain boundary diffusion after the aging treatment.

[0066] Here, the grain boundary diffusion may be a common process in the art, and it is common to diffuse a heavy rare earth element through the grain boundaries.

[0067] The temperature of the grain boundary diffusion may be 800 to 900° C., for example, 850° C. The time of the grain boundary diffusion may be 5 to 10 hours, for example, 8 hours.

[0068] The method of adding heavy rare earth elements to the RTB magnet can be based on conventional methods in the art, and typically involves adding 0-80% of the heavy rare earth elements during melting and refining, with the remainder added during grain boundary diffusion, for example, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, or 67%. The heavy rare earth element added during melting and refining is, for example, Tb.

[0069] For example, if the heavy rare earth element in the RTB magnet is Tb and the Tb content is greater than 0.5 wt.%, 40 to 67% of Tb is added during melting and refining, and the remainder is added during grain boundary diffusion. For example, if the heavy rare earth elements in the RTB magnet are Tb and the Tb content is 0.5 wt.% or less, or if the heavy rare earth element in the RTB magnet is Dy, the heavy rare earth element in the RTB magnet is added during grain boundary diffusion.

[0070] Here, it is common to perform a second aging treatment after the grain boundary diffusion. The temperature and time ranges for the second aging treatment are as described above. The temperature is, for example, 500°C, and the time is, for example, 3 hours.

[0071] In the present invention, as known to those skilled in the art, the sintering process generally further includes the steps of melting, casting, hydro-crushing, pulverizing and magnetic field compaction, which are common in the art.

[0072] Here, the degree of vacuum in the melting and smelting is, for example, 5×10 -2 It is Pa.

[0073] Here, the temperature of the melting and smelting is, for example, 1550°C or lower.

[0074] The melting and refining is generally carried out in a high-frequency vacuum induction melting furnace.

[0075] Here, the casting step employs, for example, a strip casting method.

[0076] Here, the casting temperature may be 1390 to 1460°C, for example, 1400, 1420°C, or 1430°C.

[0077] Here, the thickness of the alloy flakes obtained after the casting may be 0.25 to 0.40 mm, for example, 0.29 mm.

[0078] Here, the hydro-crushing step may generally be carried out in the order of hydrogen absorption, dehydrogenation, and cooling treatment.

[0079] The hydrogen absorption can be carried out under a hydrogen pressure of 0.085 MPa.

[0080] The dehydrogenation can be carried out under conditions of evacuation and elevated temperature, and the dehydrogenation temperature may be 480-520°C, for example 500°C.

[0081] Here, the fine pulverization step can be jet mill pulverization.

[0082] Here, the particle size of the powder obtained after the pulverization can be 4.1 to 4.4 μm, for example, 4.1 μm, 4.2 μm, or 4.3 μm.

[0083] Here, the gas atmosphere during the pulverization may have an oxidizing gas content of 1000 ppm or less, and the oxidizing gas content means the content of oxygen or moisture.

[0084] Here, the pressure during the fine pulverization is, for example, 0.68 MPa.

[0085] Here, after the fine grinding, a lubricant such as zinc stearate is generally further added.

[0086] Here, the amount of the lubricant added may be 0.05 to 0.15% of the powder mass obtained after the fine pulverization, and is, for example, 0.12%.

[0087] Here, the magnetic field compaction is carried out under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere with a magnetic field strength of 1.8 T or more, for example, a magnetic field strength of 1.8 to 2.5 T.

[0088] The present invention further provides an RTB magnet obtained by employing the above manufacturing method.

[0089] By arbitrarily combining the above-mentioned preferred conditions in accordance with common knowledge in this field, each preferred embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.

[0095] The RTB magnets in Examples 2 to 21 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were manufactured by preparing raw materials with the components shown in Table 1 below and following the manufacturing process of Example 1. Here, in Examples 2, 3, 7, 9 to 18 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, 0.4 wt% Tb was added during the melting and refining process, with the remaining Tb entering the RTB magnet through grain boundary diffusion, in Examples 4, 5, 19, and 20, the heavy rare earth elements were all added in the grain boundary diffusion process, and in Example 21, Tb was added during the melting and refining process, and Dy was added during the grain boundary diffusion process. Effect Example 1

[0096] 1. Component Measurement: Measurement was performed using a high-frequency inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) for the RTB magnets in Examples 1 to 21 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0097] Table 1: Composition (wt.%) of RTB magnets in Examples 1 to 21 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 JPEG0007733740000001.jpg193161

[0098] Note: " / " indicates that the element in question is not included. C, O, and Mn are inevitably introduced into the final RTB magnet during manufacturing, and the denominators of the content percentages calculated for each example and comparative example do not include these impurities. On the other hand, Example 15 in Table 1 contains 0.14 wt.% Al. As is well known, a portion of this Al content is an impurity introduced during manufacturing, while the remaining examples and comparative examples contain less than 0.08 wt. parts of Al introduced during manufacturing.

[0099] 2. Magnetic property test The RTB magnets in Examples 1 to 21 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were tested using a PFM pulse-type BH demagnetization curve testing device to obtain data on residual magnetic flux density (Br), intrinsic coercivity (Hcj), maximum energy product (BHmax), and squareness ratio (Hk / Hcj). The test results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0100] [Table 2]

[0101] 3. Microstructure testing Detection by FE-EPMA: The vertically oriented surfaces of the RTB magnets in Examples 1 to 21 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were polished and detected using a field emission electron probe microanalyzer (FE-EPMA, JEOL, 8530F). First, the distribution of elements such as Cu, Ti, and B within the RTB magnet was determined by FE-EPMA surface scanning, and then the content of each element in the Ti-Cu-B phase was determined by FE-EPMA single-point quantitative analysis. The test conditions were an acceleration voltage of 15 kV and a probe beam current of 50 nA.

[0102] As shown in Figure 1, Figure 1 is an SEM map of the RTB magnet in Example 1 obtained by FE-EPMA detection. The position of the Ti-Cu-B phase was determined using the SEM map, and this was located in the triangular region between the crystal grains. The area ratio of the Ti-Cu-B phase was then calculated. The position indicated by arrow a in Figure 1 is the Cu-Nb-Fe phase in the triangular region between the crystal grains, as determined by single-point quantitative analysis.

[0103] As can be seen from the measurements and calculations, in Example 1, a Ti-Cu-B phase is formed in the triangular regions between the crystal grains of the RTB magnet, and the atomic percentages of Ti, Cu, and B in this Ti-Cu-B phase are 23:25:52. 23 Cu 25 B 52 Ti phase. 23 Cu 25 B 52 The ratio of the area of ​​the Ti-Cu-B phase to the total area of ​​the "intergranular triangular regions and neodymium-rich phase" (abbreviated as "proportion of the area of ​​the phase" in Table 3) is 3.5%. The area of ​​the Ti-Cu-B phase and the total area of ​​the "intergranular triangular regions and neodymium-rich phase" each refer to the area occupied by the cross section of the RTB magnet (the vertically oriented surface described above) detected by FE-EPMA.

[0104] The results of FE-EPMA detection for the RTB magnets of Examples 1 to 21 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 are shown in Table 3 below.
