The invention discloses a method for preparing a heavy rare earth hydride nano-particle doped sintered NdFeB permanent magnet, which belongs to the technical field of magnetic materials. The prior preparation method improves the coercive force and the temperature stability of magnets by adding heavy rare earth elements, namely terbium or dysprosium into master alloy, but the method can cause the residual magnetism of the magnets, the reduction of magnetic energy product and the increase of manufacturing cost.

The method comprises the following steps: preparing NdFeB powder by a rapidly solidified flake process and a hydrogen decrepitation process; preparing the terbium hydride or the dysprosium hydride nano-powder by physical vapor deposition technology; mixing the two powders, and performing magnetic field orientation and press forming; and performing dehydrogenation treatment, sintering and heat treatment on a green compact at different temperatures, and obtaining the sintered magnet. The coercive force of the magnet prepared by the method is higher than that of the prior sintered magnet with the same ingredients; and compared with the sintered magnet with the equivalent coercive force, the proportion of the terbium and dysprosium needed by the magnet prepared by the method is remarkably reduced.

A film is formed at a high rate on the surface of an iron-boron-rare-earth-metal magnet having a given shape, while effectively using dysprosium or terbium as a film-forming material. Thus, productivity is improved and a permanent magnet can be produced at low cost. A permanent magnet is produced through a film formation step in which a film of dysprosium is formed on the surface of an iron-boron-rare-earth-metal magnet of a given shape and a diffusion step in which the magnet coated is subjected to a heat treatment at a given temperature to cause the dysprosium deposited on the surface to diffuse into the grain boundary phase of the magnet. The film formation step comprises: a first step in which a treating chamber where this film formation is performed is heated to vaporize dysprosium which has been disposed in this treating chamber and thereby form a dysprosium vapor atmosphere having a given vapor pressure in the treating chamber; and a second step in which a magnet kept at a temperature lower than the internal temperature of the treating chamber is introduced into this treating chamber and the dysprosium is selectively deposited on the magnet surface based on a temperature difference between the treating chamber and the magnet until the magnet temperature reaches a given value.
