Description

Method for improving sintered neodymium iron boron magnet coercive force through metal infiltration by powder packaging method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of rare earth permanent magnet materials, and particularly relates to a method for improving the coercive force of a sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet through metal infiltration by a powder packaging method.
Background
The NdFeB permanent magnet is a third-generation rare earth permanent magnet following the Sm-Co permanent magnet, and due to the excellent magnetic property and abundant neodymium resources in China, the NdFeB permanent magnet is rapidly developed in research, development and production. In particular, sintered nd-fe-b magnets are widely used due to their excellent overall magnetic properties. With the accelerated development of science and technology and low-carbon economy, the popularization speed and the application range of the sintered neodymium-iron-boron material in high-end fields such as wind power, variable frequency compressors, hybrid power and the like are rapidly expanded. These fields require sintered ndfeb magnets to have both a high remanence to provide sufficient magnetic energy storage and a high enough coercivity to ensure their proper operation at high temperatures.
At present, the coercivity of sintered neodymium iron boron is relatively low, which limits further expansion of the application field, and thus, the preparation of high coercivity neodymium iron boron materials is one of the main research directions in the field. It has been found that in sintered Nd-Fe-B magnet, heavy rare earth elements Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho, etc. are added to replace the primary phase Nd2Fe14The Nd in the B crystal grain can obviously improve the anisotropy field of the main phase magnetic crystal, so that the coercive force of the magnet is greatly increased. However, heavy rare earth resources are scarce and expensive, and the production cost can be greatly increased by adopting the traditional alloying method to improve the coercivity. On the other hand, due to the antiferromagnetic coupling between the heavy rare earth ions and the iron ions, the remanence and the magnetic energy product after the element is added are greatly reduced. Therefore, the technology of diffusing and permeating Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho and the like on the surface is developed at home and abroad, namely the coercive force of the magnet is improved, and the residual magnetism and the magnetic energy product of the magnet are not obviously reduced. Especially important, Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho and the like are only added on the surface, compared with the integral alloying, the dosage of the Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho and the like is greatly reduced, and the advantages of low cost and obvious effect are achieved.
To date, various methods for surface diffusion of Dy, Te, Gd, Er and Ho have been developed, and some methods have been put into practical industrial use. Among these methods, a layer of pure metal or compound containing Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho, etc. is effectively plated on the surface of the magnet mainly by evaporation, sputtering, coating, etc., and then grain boundary diffusion is performed by subsequent heat treatment. However, the methods still have the defects of low production efficiency, high cost, large difficulty in batch production, large equipment investment or unobvious improvement of coercive force and the like. For example, a simple method is to coat a layer of pure metal or metal oxide, chloride, fluoride on the surface of the magnet, and then directly heat treat the magnet for diffusion. The method has the advantages of low cost of raw materials, simple process and low diffusion and permeation efficiency. In another widely used method, a layer of pure metals Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho, etc. is first coated on the surface of the magnet by magnetron sputtering, and then heat treatment is performed to diffuse these heavy rare earth elements into the magnet. The method has high metal infiltration quality, but the method has high cost due to low utilization rate of the target material because a pure metal target material is required when magnetron sputtering is adopted.

(5) and cleaning the magnet after heat treatment by using a brush, cleaning the magnet by using alcohol, and then carrying out aging treatment at the temperature of 450-650 ℃ for 1-10 h under the Ar atmosphere or vacuum condition.
The method for improving the coercive force of the sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet through metal infiltration by a powder packaging method comprises the step (1), wherein the M-containing powder adopts Fe-M alloy powder or M oxide powder, and the Fe-M alloy powder is DyFe or DyFe2、TeFe、TeFe2Fe, (Dy, Te) or (Dy, Te) Fe2Intermetallic compound alloy, M oxide powder is Dy2O3、Tb2O3、HfO2、Dy2O3+Tb2O3Or Dy2O3+Tb2O3+HfO2(ii) a The active agent is ammonia chloride NH4Cl or ammonium fluoride NH4F, the anti-sintering agent is oxide powder of M; the mass ratio of the M-containing powder, the activator and the anti-sintering agent is as follows: (30-60), (0.1-4), (36-70), the particle size of the M-containing powder and the anti-sintering agent is 20-120 μ M.
In the step (2), the charging bucket is made of heat-resistant stainless steel or graphite with good thermal stability, the sintered neodymium iron boron magnets to be processed are embedded in the charging bucket layer by layer at intervals by using a powder penetrant, and the distances among the sintered neodymium iron boron magnets and between the sintered neodymium iron boron magnets and the inner wall of the charging bucket are larger than 15 mm.
Preferably, in the step (3), the vacuum degree is less than 10 Pa.
The method for improving the coercive force of the sintered neodymium iron boron magnet through metal infiltration by the powder packaging method is preferable, and in the step (4), the heat treatment conditions are as follows: maintaining Ar gas pressure in furnace 102~105And (3) keeping the temperature of the mixture Pa at 800-1000 ℃ for 3-6 h.

The principle of the invention is as follows:
dy, Tb and the like belong to heavy rare earth elements, the atomic radius is large, the speed of permeating into the surface of neodymium iron boron through thermal diffusion is low, the permeation amount is small, and the permeation depth is shallow. Therefore, the practical technique of thermal diffusion infiltration of Dy and Tb in sintered nd-fe-b magnets is mainly to solve the problem of low infiltration efficiency. As is known, the thermal diffusion metallizing process mainly comprises three steps: the metal atoms diffuse to reach the surface of the workpiece to be infiltrated (sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet), generate physical/chemical adsorption on the surface, and diffuse into the workpiece under the drive of chemical potential gradient. The three steps will differ for different processes and hence the infiltration efficiency will also differ. For example, in the method of sputtering a layer of pure Dy or Tb metal on the surface and then performing heat treatment, the infiltration efficiency is limited due to the presence of the interface of the neodymium iron boron/sputtered layer and the fact that Dy or Tb atoms reach the surface through solid phase diffusion. And DyCl is coated on the surface3、TbCl3As the penetrating agent, because of their low melting points (647 ℃ and 588 ℃, respectively), the vapor pressure is high when the magnet is processed at higher temperature, the transportation speed to the surface of the sintered NdFeB magnet is also high, but the DyCl needs higher temperature and certain time when Dy and Tb are diffused into the NdFeB crystal lattice at the temperature3、TbCl3The volatilization is serious, and the duration of the thermal diffusion infiltration process is insufficient.
The invention provides a powder packaging method, wherein Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho, Hf and the like are infiltrated into the surface of a sintered neodymium-iron-boron rare earth permanent magnet to improve the coercive force of the sintered neodymium-iron-boron rare earth permanent magnet. The powder packaging method is a conventional method for infiltrating metal on the surface of an alloy workpiece, and is widely applied to the fields of aviation, aerospace, metallurgy, petrifaction, energy sources and the like particularly in the aspect of high-temperature corrosion resistant structural materials. For example, Al, Cr, Al + Cr, Ti, Si, RE (rare earth element) and the like are infiltrated on the surface of the nickel-based superalloy, so that the high-temperature oxidation resistance and the hot corrosion resistance of the alloy can be obviously improved. The principle of the method is as follows: for example, using one or more of Fe-M (M ═ Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho, Hf, etc.) alloy powder and NH as activator4Cl, at the heat treatment temperature, the following chemical reaction occurs:
NH4Cl→NH3↑+HCl↑
M+3HCl→MCl3↑+3/2H2either ≈ or M2O3+6HCl→2MCl3↑+3H2O↑
MCl3→[M]+Cl2↓ (sintered Nd-Fe-B magnet surface)
H2+Cl2→2HCl↑
Active atom [ M ]]The inward diffusion occurs on the surface of the sintered nd-fe-b magnet. Due to gaseous MCl3Formation of NH4Decomposition of Cl and H2And Cl2The recombination forms a supporting reaction process, and the method can realize the stable and efficient infiltration of the metal M and has the characteristics of simple process and low cost. The anti-sintering agent is added to prevent the powder penetrating agent from sintering in the heat treatment process to influence gaseous MCl3And (4) conveying to the surface of the sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet.
The invention has the advantages and beneficial effects that:
1. the invention adopts the powder packaging method to infiltrate metal, Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho, Hf and the like on the sintered NdFeB magnets with various sizes.
2. Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho, Hf and the like are infiltrated into the sintered neodymium iron boron magnet through thermal diffusion, so that the coercive force of the sintered neodymium iron boron magnet can be obviously improved, the sintered neodymium iron boron magnet has the most obvious effect on smaller magnets (such as sheets, plates or small-diameter rods) with one-dimensional linearity less than 7mm, and the influence on the magnetic performance of other aspects of the magnets is small.
3. The powder penetrant of the present invention adopts dysprosium iron or dysprosium oxide (the same applies to other metals), has low cost of raw materials, and can be repeatedly used.
4. The main equipment required by the invention comprises a heat treatment furnace and a heat treatment charging bucket, the process equipment is simple, and the process is stable.
5. The powder packaging method disclosed by the invention can be used for carrying out thermal diffusion infiltration on Dy, Te, Gd, Er, Ho, Hf and the like, can be used for carrying out batch treatment, has higher efficiency, and can be used for conveniently regulating and controlling the surface infiltration dosage and infiltration depth of the sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet by controlling the content of main materials in the powder infiltration agent, the heat treatment temperature and the heat treatment time.
