Method and device for casting orientation molding of circular magnetic sheet and product
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic material manufacturing, in particular to a method, a device and a product for casting and orienting a circular magnetic sheet.
Background
The magnetic anisotropy can be obtained by molding the magnetic material in a magnetic field, so that the performance is improved. Magnetic materials such as ferrite are subjected to magnetic field orientation molding during molding, and after sintering, crystal orientation arrangement of crystal grains is more ordered, so that the magnetic material has stronger magnetic anisotropy. The anisotropy enhancement can greatly improve the performance of the ferrite material. Such as strontium ferrite, generally adopts a way of applying a magnetic field in the process of compression molding. The application mode is that a coil is sleeved outside a mould, and a magnetic field is generated by current. The magnetic field direction is perpendicular to the coil plane. The saturation magnetization and the coercive force of the strontium ferrite formed by the magnetic field can be improved by more than 50% in the magnetic field forming direction.
For a planar hexagonal ferrite magnetic material, the crystal grains are hexagonal sheets and have strong in-plane anisotropy, if the crystal grains are arranged in parallel, the magnetic permeability of the material is increased by three times, and in addition, strong coupling action is generated among the crystal grains, so that the loss in a pass band is reduced to 10 percent of the original loss. However, there is a difficulty in the orientation of the planar hexaferrite, which is a strong in-plane anisotropy unlike the uniaxial anisotropy of strontium ferrite. If the parallel arrangement of crystal grain planes cannot be realized only by a uniform magnetic field in one direction, at least two magnetic fields with crossed directions are needed to obtain one plane. So that the planar hexaferrite cannot be oriented in a similar manner to the strontium ferrite.
In order to solve the problem, the chinese patent application CN201911110135.2 discloses a ferrite raw material sheet forming apparatus and a forming method thereof, wherein the forming apparatus comprises a rotating uniform coating device and a constant magnetic field generating device, the rotating uniform coating device comprises a rotating disk with controllable rotating speed, a PET film with the same size is arranged above the rotating disk with controllable rotating speed, and the surface of the rotating disk with controllable rotating speed is also provided with air holes for adsorbing the PET film; the constant magnetic field generating device is composed of an electromagnet with a rectangular cross section, and the direction of the generated constant magnetic field after electrification is vertical to the cross section; the rotary uniform coating device is arranged between two pole heads of the constant magnetic field electromagnet, and the direction of the magnetic field is parallel to the rotary disk. The present invention adopts a pair of electromagnets to form uniform magnetic field in one region, and adopts a mode of rotary uniform coating in the region to form. In order to obtain a uniform magnetic field, the electromagnet with a large size is needed, the equipment has a large volume and a large weight, the manufacturing cost is high, the system is complex, the energy consumption is high, in addition, because the direction of the magnetic field is parallel to the rotating direction of the disc, the oriented directions of the magnetic powder materials in the slurry are inconsistent in the continuous rotating process of the disc, and because the specific gravity of the magnetic powder materials is greater than other components of the slurry, the magnetic powder materials can rapidly move outwards from the circle center position of the disc under the action of centrifugal force, so the distribution of the powder materials at all positions of the finally manufactured magnetic sheets is uneven.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1-3, the casting orientation forming apparatus for a circular magnetic sheet according to the present embodiment includes a base (not shown), a driving motor (not shown), a slurry conduit 1, and a driving shaft 6, a circular turntable 2, a clamping groove 4, and a permanent magnet 3 mounted on the base; the permanent magnet 3 is arranged in a cavity of the clamping groove 4, the lower surface of the clamping groove 4 is arranged on the driving shaft 6, the lower surface of the circular turntable 2 is arranged on the clamping groove 4, the two rotate together with the driving shaft 6, and the centers of circles of the driving shaft 6, the circular turntable 2, the clamping groove 4 and the permanent magnet 3 are on the same straight line; the diameters of the driving shaft 6, the permanent magnet 3, the clamping groove 4 and the circular turntable 2 are sequentially increased; the circular turntable 2 is made of magnetic conductive material and is used for guiding the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 3 from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle; the permanent magnet 3 and the magnetic conduction round turntable 2 are arranged on the upper surface of the round turntable 2 to jointly form a magnetic field which has the strongest central position and gradually weakens towards the periphery; the slurry conduit 1 is arranged right above the circular turntable 2, the outlet of the slurry conduit faces the circle center of the circular turntable 2, and magnetic slurry is guided into the circle center, so that the slurry rotates along with the circular turntable 2 and flows and expands around under the combined action of magnetic field force, centrifugal force and gravity.
The upper surface of the circular turntable 2 is also covered with a layer of PET film which is used as a substrate for bearing slurry and prepared casting films.
The circular turntable 2 is a metal disc with the diameter of 400-500 mm and the thickness of 2-4 mm; the metal material is magnetic conductive iron, stainless steel alloy and other materials. The diameter of the circle center turntable is too small, the internal magnetic field of the circular turntable is not parallel, and the plane of the circular turntable is easy to deform if the diameter of the circle center turntable is too large; the circular turntable is easy to deform when the thickness of the circular turntable is too thin, and the circular turntable is not beneficial to enabling the magnetic fields inside the circular turntable to be parallel when the thickness of the circular turntable is too thick;
the diameter of the permanent magnet 3 is 40-50 mm, and the height is 10-20 mm. The permanent magnet is cylindrical and can be formed by laminating one or more permanent magnets so as to adjust the surface magnetic field intensity; the permanent magnet is concentric with the circular turntable, but the diameter of the permanent magnet is far smaller than that of the circular turntable and is about 1/10 of the circular turntable. The diameter of the magnetic filler can be adjusted according to the processing characteristics of the magnetic filler cast, and the diameter is increased when the magnetic field intensity is required to be increased, and is reduced when the magnetic field intensity is required to be increased. The diameter of the permanent magnet is too small, so that the magnetic field of the circular turntable is too small, and the recovery area in the middle is too large; the height (thickness) of the permanent magnet is too small to be easily demagnetized, and the magnet is too large to be easily processed.
In this embodiment, the magnetic pole direction of the permanent magnet 3 is N pole up and S pole down; the surface magnetic field intensity is 100 to 500 Oe. The magnetic field strength on the surface is too weak, so that the orientation degree is not high, and the magnetic filler in the slurry is absorbed, cannot flow and cannot spread due to too strong magnetic field strength; other embodiments may be modified as desired.
A tape casting orientation forming method of a circular magnetic sheet by adopting the device comprises the following steps:
(1) preparing magnetic slurry, wherein the magnetic slurry comprises a long magnetic filler; the magnetic filler is one of magnetic long ellipsoidal particles, rod-shaped particles or short fibers; the embodiment adopts ferrite powder, including planar hexaferrite powder;
(2) arranging a tape casting orientation forming device of a circular magnetic sheet, covering a layer of PET film on the upper surface of a circular turntable 2 of the tape casting orientation forming device, and using the PET film as a substrate for bearing the magnetic slurry and the prepared tape casting film; the circular turntable 2 guides the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 3 from the center of a circle to the periphery, and a magnetic field with the strongest central position and gradually weakened to the periphery is formed on the upper surface of the circular turntable 2;
(3) starting a motor, and driving a shaft 6 to drive the circular turntable 2, the clamping groove 4 and the permanent magnet 3 to rotate together and reach a set rotating speed;
(4) magnetic slurry is led into the center of a circle of the circular turntable 2 through an outlet of a slurry conduit 1 which is arranged right above the circular turntable and faces the center of the circle, and the magnetic slurry flows, expands and flattens around under the combined action of centrifugal force, magnetic force of a magnetic field and gravity to start tape casting; the magnetic filler in the slurry flows and expands to the periphery together with the slurry under the combined action of the outward centrifugal force of the rotation of the turntable, the inward magnetic force of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet and the gravity, and the axis of the particles of the slurry faces to the center of a circle in the process to finish the orientation arrangement;
(5) keeping the driving shaft 6 at a uniform rotating speed, continuously introducing, casting and orienting the slurry by the slurry guide pipe 1 until the thickness of the casting film on the substrate reaches a set thickness, stopping introducing the magnetic slurry, stopping the rotation of the circular turntable 2, curing and drying to obtain an anisotropic circular magnetic sheet formed by orientation;
(6) and cutting the formed circular magnetic sheet by using a die to remove a part of area close to the center of the circular magnetic sheet and a part of area close to the outer edge of the circular magnetic sheet to form the circular magnetic sheet.
In this embodiment, the dimensions of the removed portions of the circular magnetic sheet after the molding are as follows: if the inner circle with the diameter of 30-60mm close to the circle center is removed too little, the orientation direction of the part close to the circle center deviates from the direction pointing to the circle center, and if the inner circle is removed too much, the productivity is too low, and the waste is serious; the outer dimensions removed can be determined by the thickness of the circular magnetic sheet (which must meet minimum thickness requirements), and the outer diameter of the desired magnetic green sheet.
In this embodiment, when the thickness of the casting film in the step (5) reaches the set thickness of 0.2mm to 0.8mm, the casting is stopped, and the dried film thickness is 0.1mm to 0.7 mm. In other embodiments, other dimensions can be selected, and the specific dimensions can be selected according to product performance requirements and processing characteristics of the magnetic material, so that the technical effects of the invention can be achieved.
The circular magnetic sheet prepared by the tape casting orientation forming method is characterized in that the orientation arrangement directions of magnetic fillers in the circular magnetic sheet are consistent and all point to the circle center of the circular magnetic sheet.
The magnetic filler of the invention can adopt hexagonal ferrite, MnZn, NiZn and Co2Z、Co2Y, etc.
When the device works, the circular turntable 2 guides the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 3 from the circle center part to the periphery to generate magnetic force for attracting the magnetic filler inwards, and simultaneously rotates at a constant speed to generate outward centrifugal force of the magnetic filler; when the magnetic slurry flows into the PET substrate from the right top of the circle center, the magnetic filler particles (or fibers) flow and expand from the center to the periphery of the outer side under the combined action of magnetic force of a magnetic field and centrifugal force (and gravity), and are gradually spread and air-dried to form a casting film which is solidified, molded and oriented, namely a circular magnetic sheet. And subsequently cutting off the circle center part and the part of the outer edge of the circular magnetic sheet, the thickness of which can not reach the standard, for recycling. The prepared circular magnetic sheet can be further cut, stacked and sintered to be used for preparing magnetic cores of various magnetic elements. According to the characteristics of the magnetic filler, the flow speed, the extension range and the orientation speed of the filler particles of the magnetic slurry can be adjusted by adjusting the strength and the confrontation relation of the magnetic force of the magnetic field and the centrifugal force.

Preparing magnetic filler powder: chemically pure raw materials are BaCO according to the mass ratio3:CoO:Fe2O3= 3: 2: 12 and pure water with equal mass, ball-milling and mixing for 3 hours, drying and sieving by a 40-mesh sieve, presintering at 1250 ℃, preserving heat for 4 hours, ball-milling until D50=1.0 mu m, drying and sieving by the 40-mesh sieve to obtain ferrite powder for later use.
Preparing magnetic slurry: taking 100 parts of the ferrite powder obtained in the last step, stirring and mixing the ferrite powder with 1 part of triton, 2 parts of dibutyl phthalate, 15 parts of polyvinyl butyral, 70 parts of isobutanol and 30 parts of absolute ethyl alcohol for 3 hours to prepare magnetic slurry to be cast, and sieving the magnetic slurry with a 60-mesh sieve for later use.
Tape casting and shaping: by adopting the device, firstly, a layer of 0.015mm PET film is pasted on a circular turntable, a motor is started to enable the rotating speed of the turntable to reach 120 r/min, magnetic slurry is introduced to start tape casting, magnetic fillers in the slurry uniformly move towards the periphery (flow along with the slurry) and are oriented in the process, and at the moment, a solvent in the slurry is continuously increased, so that the magnetic fillers in the slurry are shaped; and stopping casting when the thickness of the evaporated slurry reaches 0.65mm, (the thickness of the film can reach 0.6mm after further drying), and cutting off an inner circle part with the middle diameter of 60mm by using a cutting die to obtain the circular magnetic sheet with the ring shape.
A small circular ring with the inner diameter of 10mm and the outer diameter of 20mm is punched out of the circular magnetic sheet by using a cutting die to be used as a test sample, and the circular magnetic sheet is fully dried, de-glued and sintered for 2 hours at 1250 ℃ to be used as the magnetism of the magnetic element for testing. The magnetic permeability is 35 + -2 (1-700 MHz), and the loss is 0.15 + -0.05 (1-700 MHz).
