A kind of preparation method of rare earth permanent-magnetic material
Technical field
The present invention relates to magnetic material correlative technology field, refers in particular to a kind of preparation method of rare earth permanent-magnetic material.
Background technology
Since the eighties in last century, neodymium iron boron magnetic body came out, because its excellent magnetic property is rapidly in electronics, communication, friendship
The fields such as logical transport, automation, medical treatment and new energy are widely applied.Up to the present, Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet material is comprehensive
The most excellent permanent-magnet material of magnetic property is closed, " magnetic king " is described as, there is important meaning to device miniaturization, integrated and high efficiency
Justice.
By preparation method point, neodymium iron boron magnetic body is broadly divided into sintering, bonding, hot pressing/heat distortion magnet, wherein to sinter neodymium
Iron boron dosage is maximum.The preparation technology of Sintered NdFeB magnet mainly obtains Nd Fe B alloys using strip casting, then will
Alloy grinds to obtain 3-5 μm of powder, and powder is put into oriented moulding in magnetic field obtains green compact, by green compact at 1040-1100 DEG C
Temperature sinters to obtain sintered NdFeB blank, and blank finally gives sintered NdFeB product through over mechanical processing again.Sintered magnet
Major advantage be magnetic property height, the maximum magnetic energy product of general commercial magnet is typically in 200-400kJm-3, Japanese NEOMAX companies
Laboratory level is up to 474kJm-3, this is also the highest record of magnetic material so far.And sintered NdFeB is main
Shortcoming is that stock utilization is low.Because in addition to small part larger product can be molded by monolithic and is made, other
Most of sintered NdFeB product is required for being machined, and compound material utilization rate is about 66%, and for some thin slices and different
Stock utilization is less than 50% for shape product.In addition, the sintering shrinkage of Sintered NdFeB magnet is about 30%, green compact in addition
Density inhomogeneity, so the strain cracking of sintered NdFeB is inevitable, thus Sintered NdFeB magnet improves material
Expect that the space of utilization rate is also very big.
The nanocrystalline fast quenching neodymium-iron-boron that it is about 200 μm by granularity that the preparation technology of hot pressing/thermal deformation neodymium iron boron magnetic body, which is,
Powder obtains isotropic magnet in 500-600 DEG C of hot pressing densification, then passes through thermal deformation at 850-950 DEG C again and obtains anisotropy
Neodymium iron boron magnetic body.In general, the HCJ of hot pressing/heat distortion magnet is more slightly higher than sintered NdFeB, because
The temperature that hot pressing/thermal deformation uses is lower than sintering temperature, and the time is short, so crystal grain is more tiny.And hot pressing/heat distortion magnet can
To realize dead size or connect near-net-shape, while it can also effectively suppress the strain cracking of magnet, so material use
Rate is higher.The major defect of hot pressing/heat distortion magnet is cost height.Nanocrystalline rapidly quenched magnetic powder price first used in hot pressing compared with
It is high;Thermal deformation technique production efficiency is very low simultaneously, so production cost is high.
Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet is also to be prepared using nanocrystalline rapidly quenched magnetic powder, will by adding a certain proportion of bonding agent
The magnet that magnetic is bonded to.The stock utilization of Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet is very high, close to 100%, and can realize special-shaped production
The preparation of product.The disadvantage of Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron is that magnetic property is low, and Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet magnetic energy product is mostly in 60-90kJm-3。
In summary, it is that magnetic is cheap the advantages of Sintered NdFeB magnet, simple production process, efficiency high, cost is low;Lack
Point is that sintering temperature is high (more than 1040 DEG C), and magnet crystal grain is easily grown up, and stock utilization is low, yielding cracking.Hot pressing/thermal change
The advantages of shape magnet is that magnet crystal grain is tiny, and stock utilization is high;Shortcoming is magnetic (the special quenched powder of hot pressing/thermal deformation) price
Height, thermal deformation efficiency is low, and cost is high.The advantages of Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet is stock utilization height, it is possible to achieve special-shaped magnet
Production;Major defect is that magnetic property is low, and Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet magnetic energy product is mostly in 60-90kJm-3。

Row coarse crushing, then obtained Nd Fe B alloys powder is ground using air-flow grinding process;
(2) one-step mould:Powder is put into compression molding in the mould of one-step mould, while 1T's is applied more than to magnetic
Magnetic field;
(3) secondary mould pressing:The product of one-step mould is inserted in the mould of secondary mould pressing, in vacuum or inert gas shielding
Under, after the product heating of one-step mould, then apply pressure and carry out secondary mould pressing, the magnet being densified;
(4) it is heat-treated:Magnet by secondary mould pressing is inserted in vacuum drying oven and is heat-treated, including at least passivation crystal grain
The homogenization heat treatment of wedge angle and the tempering heat treatment of optimization crystal boundary distributed mutually.
In the present invention, the Nd Fe B alloys powder of use, neodymium iron boron magnetic body is prepared by mould pressing process twice in succession;One
Alignment magnetic field need to be applied during secondary molding, obtain anisotropic neodymium iron boron green compact, pressurizeed, obtained by heating in secondary mould pressing
Fine and close neodymium iron boron magnetic body, and the size for being closely sized to final products of magnet;Due to the magnet magnetic obtained after secondary mould pressing
Performance is very low, so needing to improve magnet magnetic property by special Technology for Heating Processing.Using mould pressing process, product is close to most

Design, in step (2), the mould of one-step mould is designed according to the mould of secondary mould pressing.So design causes
During using mould pressing process, for product close to the size of final finished, stock utilization is high.
Preferably, in step (3), the product of one-step mould is heated to 550-1000 DEG C, hot pressing time 1-30
Minute, the pressure for then applying 1-500MPa carries out secondary mould pressing.Because the heating-up temperature of secondary mould pressing is far below sintering temperature,
So magnet crystal grain is more tiny than conventional sintering magnet, magnetic property is high.
Preferably, in step (4), the homogenizing heat treatment for being passivated crystal grain wedge angle is as follows:Using 700-1000
DEG C insulation 1-15 hours;The tempering heat treatment process for optimizing crystal boundary distributed mutually is as follows:Using 400-650 DEG C of insulation 1-6 hour.It is logical
Above-mentioned special Technology for Heating Processing is crossed to improve magnet magnetic property so that magnetic property reaches 200kJm-3More than, far above bonding neodymium
Iron boron magnet, this is also the critical process that commercial value magnet can be made in the technique.
Preferably, in step (4) and then increase destressing handling process:It is small using 150-350 DEG C of insulation 0.5-3
When.So it is favorably improved the magnetic property and bending strength of magnet.
