Background technology
Since sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet was invented from nineteen eighty-three, because volume is little, maximum magnetic energy product is high, cost performance good, the motor of electroacoustics field, acquisition of signal field, medical field, scientific research field, domestic energy-conserving electrical equipment, computer, vibrating motor for mobile phone, magneto wind-driven generator, accurate linear electric motors, CD and VCD light read head, all kinds of elevators and high-speed liquid pump etc. have been widely used in.China's sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet output has accounted for more than 70% of Gross World Product at present, and annual production reaches more than 40000 ton, becomes the largest production state of global sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet.
The sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet manufacture process is the preparation of sintering blank, machining, surface treatment, packing magnetizes.In sintering blank preparation process, be magnetic and detect, detect the back permanent magnet and how much have magnetic.Adopt the grinding machine magnetic chuck to fix the workpiece to be machined sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet in the machining, after the completion of processing, sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet is owing to magnetize under the magnetic field of sucker, and the result has the residual magnetism that has about 5mT.In wire cutting technology, also adopt fixedly sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet workpiece of magnetic in addition, can cause being with magnetic equally.The middle product that these have magnetic if do not eliminate before surface treatment to 2mT, because magnetic is adsorbed the thin impurity of irony in the plating bath, cause surface treatment bad in the plating surface treatment process.
The residual magnetism of removing sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet has following method: electromagnetism method and hot demagnetizing method.Practical electromagnetism method is to adopt the power frequency electricity to insert big coil, craft or guipure are continuously by coil internal magnetic field zone, utilize the magnetic hysteresis loop principle to eliminate residual magnetism, but this kind demagnetizing method can not satisfy in the actual needs of the particularly high trade mark N52 of high trade mark N40, the N55 series trade mark.
Heat demagnetization is according to the Curie temperature of the sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet magnetic phase transition characteristics at 313 ℃~350 ℃, eliminates residual magnetism by the method for heating.Method commonly used has box type furnace demagnetization, vacuum furnace demagnetization.
The box type furnace demagnetization, be meant the space that sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet is placed box type furnace, demagnetize by air heat, its treatment temperature is subjected to the influence of the trade mark equally, be the following series of N40,380 ℃~420 ℃ demagnetizations, high trade mark N52, the N55 series trade mark need be in higher temperature as 420 ℃~460 ℃ demagnetizations down, and temperature retention time is generally half an hour.There is following shortcoming in this method: heating-up temperature is too high; Insulation down about 420 ℃, surface oxide layer appears in permanent magnet, can only be used for blank, promptly can only be used for the middle product of the follow-up machining of needs.And high trade mark permanent magnet needs higher heating-up temperature, because the appearance of oxide skin, its performance can worsen more.
External-heat flue vacuum furnace is adopted in vacuum furnace demagnetization, progressively heats and vacuumizes to eliminate harmful steam of former permanent magnet absorption, is incubated 0.5~1 hour between 400 ℃~460 ℃, proposes flue air cooling or air-cooled.Adopt vacuum sintering furnace, because the permanent magnet heat is difficult for distributing in the flue, cooling rate is slow, makes the HCJ reduction or the demagnetization curve square chart of permanent magnet magnetic performance bad.Though and be the direct-type heating, because under vacuum, the vacuum coefficient of heat conduction is little, main by radiation heating, therefore still need heating time long, thermal gradient is big, whole demagnetization process needs 6~8 hours, taken the equipment that the magnet blank is produced significantly, and energy consumption is big, causes the wasting of resources.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defective of prior art and a kind of stew demagnetizing sintered Nd iron boron permanent magnet method is provided, and makes that its treatment temperature is low, demagnetization speed fast, the performance of the sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet after the demagnetization is constant.
The present invention also provides a kind of demagnetizer of sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet, makes it handle sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet automatically apace according to method of the present invention, and the sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet quality after the processing is good.
The present invention solves the problems of the technologies described above the technical scheme that is adopted:
A kind of stew demagnetizing sintered Nd iron boron permanent magnet method; it is characterized in that: the sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet of surface clean, oven dry directly immerses in temperature is the heating bath of Curie temperature Tc+5~20 ℃; temperature retention time 2~20min, cooling fast under protective atmosphere, air cooling or air-cooled again.
Above-mentioned heating bath can be oil bath, bismuth liquid furnace, salt bath etc. according to the transmitting medium difference, and oil bath is owing to still flowing at normal temperatures, and is more convenient when therefore using.
For preventing the heat-conduction medium oxidation in the heating bath, can fill protective gas, when being oil bath or bismuth bath as heating bath.
For guaranteeing product quality better, adopt cooling system heat of cooling medium, make its sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet after cooling processing faster, shorten permanent magnet and thermal medium in the time of contact that the warm period is arranged more than 150 ℃, exempting from slow the cooling influences magnet and makes H
CJVariation.
Have and comprise time of contact of warm period temperature rise period, holding stage and temperature-fall period.Adopt medium to immerse during demagnetization to the temperature back, after insulation finishes, adopt 2 above coolers in the heat source system, progressively increase the cooler number in the different periods, the control cooling rate, temperature is pressed approximately linear and is descended, and perhaps adopts the chilled water medium of refrigerator to come the cooler of cycling hot origin system to carry out the Rapid Thermal exchange, 15 ℃/min of average cooldown rate control.The heat pump forced circulation is the combined thermal transmission mode of convection current and conduction heat transfer between magnet and the conduction oil, and it is fast that magnet obtains heat, and temperature retention time is extremely short.By above method, be controlled in the 30min time of contact.
Above-mentioned sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet can be the sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet that metals such as plating Ni, Zn, NiCuNi have magnetized, do not plate Ni, do not plate Zn, do not plate the sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet of metal tape magnetic such as NiCuNi, or need follow-up machining to remove the sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet of superficial layer after the magnetic test.
The type of cooling after the above-mentioned sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet heating can be decided according to subsequent scenario, and adopting machining to remove surface condition as needs can air cooling or air-cooled.

Be the product quality after the assurance demagnetization, reach under the prerequisite of demagnetization effectiveness in assurance, treatment temperature and time are low more good more, therefore in the oil bath heating and temperature control more than Curie temperature Tc in 5~20 ℃ of scopes, temperature retention time is 2~20min, this with air in heating and temperature control in Tc+60~100 ℃, temperature retention time compared and is greatly reduced in 0.5~1 hour, with the vacuum furnace of radiation heating demagnetization temperature is that Tc+80~120 ℃, temperature retention time were compared in 0.5~1 hour, and bigger reduction has then been arranged.
The Curie temperature of sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet is recorded by heat scan DSC method, and its method of testing is standard method.Fig. 1 is a N50 sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet thermal analysis curve.In 271 ℃ of bismuth liquid furnace bismuth fusing points, immerse sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet then, measure two kinds of specification Dimension of permanent magnet sample at demagnetization back permanent magnet residual magnetism Tesla under the different temperatures Temperature, in different time interval T ime, obtain the D-3T curve, Fig. 2 is the N50 sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet D-3T curve that adopts the bismuth liquid furnace to record.As long as determined that with the method the heating bath temperature is higher than 5 ℃~20 ℃ of Curie temperature, keep 20min just can be reduced to the sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet residual magnetism below the 2mT with interior.
Employing heating bath heating, demagnetization temperature and time are significantly less than vacuum furnace or the demagnetization of box type furnace heat, can better transmit heat, shorten heating time, thereby guarantee to handle the quality of back product.
