The invention discloses a
microwave-assisted
chemical vapor deposition composite coating process for a
neodymium-iron-
boron magnet, and belongs to the technical field of material
engineering and surface treatment. A traditional
electroplating and spraying process often needs to be carried out at the high temperature of 500 DEG C or above, the
neodymium-iron-
boron magnet grain boundary neodymium-rich phase oxidation is caused, and the coercive force and residual
magnetism of the
magnet are possibly and remarkably reduced, the invention provides an innovative process capable of depositing a compact
coating at the low temperature, reaction gas is excited by microwaves to be subjected to
plasma treatment, and the effect of depositing the compact
coating is achieved. And the
composite coating is deposited in the temperature range of 200-500 DEG C, so that the damage of high temperature to the
microstructure of the magnet is avoided. In the process, a multi-layer heterogeneous interface combined gradient
coating structure is adopted,
continuous transition is formed between
layers through chemical bonding, the
bonding strength is greatly improved, the
porosity of the coating is small, and the coating has excellent
corrosion resistance and
thermal stability. In addition, according to the process, the reaction efficiency is improved through efficient
energy transfer of a
microwave field, the
deposition rate reaches 200 nm / min, and the
energy consumption is remarkably lower than that of a traditional
thermal CVD process.
