The method preparing high performance sintered neodymium-iron-boron according to elimination α-Fe of the present invention prepares two kinds of alloys.If only prepare a kind of alloy, after being separated later, composition can be caused to change.Prepare master alloying here, its composition is close to theoretical composition, even if after isolation, its rare earth composition is still constant, is conducive to the design of magnet.Adopt pairing gold in addition, can control grain boundaries composition, be conducive to preparing premium quality product.NdFeB rear-earth content is more close to rare earth theory content (26.8%wt), and performance is better.Need the rich neodymium of guarantee 2% could degaussing to be coupled mutually simultaneously, obtain high comprehensive magnetic energy.Also just more than theoretical rare earth (28.8%wt), rare earth more lower performance is higher.But the low meeting of rare earth causes α-Fe to occur, degradation.
As master alloying content of rare earth low (LN < 32), α-Fe is there will be at fusion process, auxiliary alloy content of rare earth high (LN > 32), therefore there will not be α-Fe, therefore here need to process master alloying specially, and auxiliary alloy does not need.Rich α-Fe composite material is higher than normal alloy composition iron content, and therefore toughness is large, utilizes airflow milling powder, is by ultrasonic air-flow, alloy to be collided mutually to realize fragmentation.Because rich α-Fe toughness is large, be difficult to be realized by collision broken, when also just meaning grinding more difficult fragmentation or the broken time longer, when its particle size after cracking does not reach separation condition, particle not by airflow milling separation system, thus stays system internal recycle.Present method utilizes this point exactly, by residuum doses in Controlling System, realizes rich α-Fe component powders and qualified powder separation.
