A kind of preparation method of rare earth permanent-magnetic material
Technical field
The present invention relates to magnetic material correlative technology field, refer in particular to the preparation of a kind of rare earth permanent-magnetic material
Method.
Background technology
Since the neodymium iron boron magnetic body appearance eighties in last century, owing to the magnetic property of its excellence is rapidly at electricity
The fields such as son, communication, transportation, automatization, medical treatment and new forms of energy obtain and are widely applied.To mesh
Till before, Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet material is the permanent magnet material that comprehensive magnetic can be the most excellent, is described as " magnetic king ",
To device miniaturization, integrated and high efficiency is significant.
Dividing by preparation method, neodymium iron boron magnetic body is broadly divided into sintering, bonding, hot pressing/heat distortion magnet, its
In maximum with sintered NdFeB consumption.The preparation technology of Sintered NdFeB magnet mainly uses strip casting
Obtain Nd Fe B alloys, then alloy is ground the powder obtaining 3-5 μm, powder is put in magnetic field and takes
Obtain green compact to molding, green compact are obtained sintered NdFeB blank, blank at 1040-1100 DEG C of temperature sintering
Sintered NdFeB product is finally given again through machining.The major advantage of sintered magnet is that magnetic property is high,
The maximum magnetic energy product of general commercial magnet is typically at 200-400kJm-3, the experiment of NEOMAX company of Japan
Room level is up to 474kJm-3, this is also the highest record of magnetic material up to now.And sinter neodymium
The major defect of ferrum boron is that stock utilization is low.This is because except small part larger product can be passed through
Beyond monolithic molding prepares, other major part sintered NdFeB products are required for machining, compound material
Utilization rate is about 66%, and stock utilization is less than 50% for some thin slices and special-shaped product.Separately
Outward, the sintering shrinkage of Sintered NdFeB magnet is about 30%, in addition the Density inhomogeneity of green compact, so
The strain cracking of sintered NdFeB is inevitable, and Sintered NdFeB magnet improves material use thus
The space of rate is the biggest.
The preparation technology of hot pressing/thermal deformation neodymium iron boron magnetic body is that granularity is about the nanocrystalline fast quenching of 200 μm
NdFeB magnetic powder obtains isotropic magnet 500-600 DEG C of hot pressing densification, the most again through 850-950 DEG C
Lower thermal deformation obtains anisotropic neodymium iron boron magnetic body.In general, the intrinsic coercive of hot pressing/heat distortion magnet
Power is more slightly higher than sintered NdFeB, this is because the temperature that hot pressing/thermal deformation uses is lower than sintering temperature,
Time is short, so crystal grain is more tiny.And hot pressing/heat distortion magnet can realize dead size or close to net scale
Very little molding, can also suppress the strain cracking of magnet, so stock utilization is higher simultaneously effectively.Heat
The major defect of pressure/heat distortion magnet is that cost is high.First the nanocrystalline rapidly quenched magnetic powder price used by hot pressing is relatively
High;Thermal deformation technique production efficiency is the lowest simultaneously, so production cost is high.
Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet also uses nanocrystalline rapidly quenched magnetic powder to prepare, a certain proportion of by adding
The magnet that magnetic powder is bonded to by bonding agent.The stock utilization of Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet is the highest, close to 100%,
And the preparation of special-shaped product can be realized.The disadvantage of Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron is that magnetic property is low, and bond neodymium
Iron boron magnet magnetic energy product is mostly at 60-90kJm-3。
In sum, the advantage of Sintered NdFeB magnet is that magnetic powder is cheap, and production technology is simple, and efficiency is high,
Low cost;Shortcoming is that sintering temperature is high (more than 1040 DEG C), and magnet crystal grain is easily grown up, stock utilization
Low, yielding cracking.The advantage of hot pressing/heat distortion magnet is that magnet crystal grain is tiny, and stock utilization is high;
Shortcoming is that magnetic powder (the special quenched powder of hot pressing/thermal deformation) price is high, and thermal deformation efficiency is low, and cost is high.Viscous
The advantage of knot neodymium iron boron magnetic body is that stock utilization is high, it is possible to achieve the production of abnormity magnet;Major defect
Being that magnetic property is low, Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet magnetic energy product is mostly at 60-90kJm-3。
