Description

Preparation method of metal powder injection molding sintered rare earth magnet
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of rare earth permanent magnet material preparation, in particular to a preparation method of a metal powder injection molding sintered rare earth magnet, which particularly relates to powder surface modification.
Background
Rare earth permanent magnets are widely used in the fields of electronic information, automobile industry, medical appliances, etc. because of their high coercive force, high remanence and high magnetic energy product. With the progress of technology, the market has put higher demands on the size, precision, shape complexity, etc. of magnets. The traditional powder metallurgy technology cannot economically meet the requirements of miniaturization, light weight, precision and the like of products.
The metal powder injection molding (MIM) technology can produce near net shaped products with complex shapes, high dimensional accuracy, and good mechanical strength. According to the MIM process, firstly, alloy powder with finer granularity and a binder material are mixed and refined into a filler suitable for injection molding according to a proportion, then, an injection molding machine is used for high-pressure molding of the mixture, degreasing and binder removal are carried out on molded parts, and finally, a compact magnet is obtained through sintering.
However, the core problem faced in the injection molding process for preparing sintered rare earth magnets (samarium cobalt, neodymium iron boron) is that residual organics in the degreasing process raise the oxygen content and carbon content in the final magnet, resulting in a decrease in magnetic properties. On the one hand, a suitable binder needs to be selected to solve this problem, in particular a binder that is easy to degrease and has a low residual oxygen and carbon content. On the other hand, the rare earth permanent magnetic powder is subjected to surface modification, so that the rare earth permanent magnetic powder can resist the production and preparation environment with high oxygen and high carbon content at high temperature, and the better magnetic performance is maintained.
Patent CN108231310a discloses a preparation method of modified neodymium-iron-boron magnetic powder, modified neodymium-iron-boron magnetic powder and neodymium-iron-boron sintered body. According to the method, the NdFeB magnetic powder is modified by using a silane coupling agent, and a stable coating layer is formed on the surface of the magnetic powder. However, the thickness of the organic coating layer is thin, and the organic coating layer is difficult to withstand a long-time high-temperature environment and is not suitable for a metal powder injection molding process.
Patent CN201910016362.2 discloses a method for preparing sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet by 3D printing. The method aims to coat a layer of oxygen-free organic film on the surface of the neodymium iron boron magnetic powder to prevent the magnetic powder from being oxidized in the printing process. Although the organic matter film coated on the surface of the magnetic powder can play a role in preventing oxidization in a short time, the organic matter is easy to volatilize and has weak adsorption force with the magnetic powder. In the high-temperature heating process, the organic thin film is easily desorbed from the surface of the magnetic powder, and the oxidation prevention effect is affected.
Patent CN200410017792.X discloses a method for coating a metal layer on the surface of neodymium-iron-boron magnetic powder by using an electrochemical deposition technology. The method reduces metal cations of the electrodeposited solution into metal and deposits the metal on the surface of the magnetic powder, thereby improving the oxidation resistance of the magnetic powder. However, the binding force between the metal layer obtained by electrochemical deposition and the neodymium iron boron matrix is poor, and the expected oxidation resistance effect is difficult to achieve.
CN201110285377.2 discloses a ferrite injection molding granule and a preparation method thereof.
The ferrite injection molding granule with high strength and high temperature resistance is obtained by adding a certain proportion of coupling agent, binder and lubricant into ferrite magnetic powder. However, the method is only used for ferrite injection molding of particles, has a narrow application range and has a large limitation.
CN201910747676.X discloses a material for preparing a high-temperature-resistant injection magnet and a preparation method of the high-temperature-resistant injection magnet. According to the method, neodymium iron boron powder and polytetrafluoroethylene powder are used as main raw materials, and polyphenylene sulfide, a binder and an antioxidant are added, so that the magnet preparation material has good fluidity, and the high-temperature injection molding magnet is ensured to be obtained. However, the impurity atoms are easily introduced into the surface of the magnetic powder through phosphating or coupling modification, so that the magnetic powder performance is reduced.
CN202010060938.8 discloses a method for improving the oxidation corrosion resistance of NdFeB powder and magnets simultaneously. By putting the single metal and NdFeB powder or magnet together into a resistance furnace for heating treatment, a single alloy coating is formed on the surface of the powder or magnet, so that the oxidation resistance of the magnetic powder or magnet is improved. However, the powder obtained by the process has single function, is only used for oxidation prevention, and has limited application range.
