Description

High-performance permanent-magnet RE alloy and manufacture method thereof
The present invention relates to high-performance permanent-magnet RE alloy and manufacture method thereof, particularly relate to used high-performance permanent-magnet RE alloy and manufacture methods thereof such as braking automobile device, motor, generator.
In recent years, the high performance of magnet and the requirement of low price being improved, is that alloy is widely used as high-performance permanent-magnet RE alloy with the Nd-Fe-B of the low Nd of price comparison in the rare earth element.
It is multiple that Nd-Fe-B is that the manufacture method of permanent-magnet alloy has.In these methods, mainly be divided into two kinds of methods:
First method is powder metallurgic method (opening clear 59-46008 communique etc. with reference to the spy).This method is, the ingot casting of casting after the melting pulverized made powder, then this powder carried out successively forming processes, sintering processes and timeliness and handles.During forming processes, Yi Bian apply magnetic field one edge forming, what obtain is anisotropic magnet.But, because the coercive force after this magnet powderization is very low, so can only can not use as bonded permanent magnet as sintered magnet.
Second method is melt-quenching method (opening clear 59-64739 communique etc. with reference to the spy).This method is that the alloy liquation is ejected on the copper roller or iron roll of high speed rotating, and the alloy liquation obtains the alloy that amorphous mixes with crystallite to cool off fast greater than 105 ℃/second speed.In this case, adopt suitable cooling rate or adopt the high speed chilling to add suitable heat treatment, can obtain the alloy of high-coercive force.This alloy that obtains is isotropic, this alloyed powder is broken into powder and promptly can be made into bonded permanent magnet with mixed with resin use.Simultaneously, this powder can access block magnet by hot pressing, can make anisotropic block materials (opening clear 60-100402 communique etc. with reference to the spy) by thermal deformation.
In the magnet that said method obtains, no matter that is a kind of, and its metal structure all is at strong magnetic phase Nd 2Fe 14Have on the border of B compound to be called the non magnetic of rich Nd phase and to separate out mutually, that is, in various magnets, the Nd of being higher than is arranged all 2Fe 14The interpolation of the Nd of B stoichiometric composition.The rich Nd existence of layer mutually becomes the main cause with high-coercive force.
But the magnetic of this magnet only depends on Nd 2Fe 14The magnetic of B compound is so will obtain being higher than Nd 2Fe 14The magnet of B phase magnetic is impossible in theory.

Below be with reference to the accompanying drawings to being fit to the explanation of the invention process situation:
Present inventors, having made metal structure only is that Hard Magnetic is Nd mutually 2Fe 14B is the Nd of α-Fe phase with soft magnetism mutually mutually 2Fe 14B/ α-Fe is the biphase composite permanent magnetic alloy, through repeatedly checking the result of duplicate test, thinks that only meeting Nd-Fe-B shown in Figure 2 is that the duplex structure of the composition on the AC line in the ternary state diagram is just passable.
Among Fig. 2, in Δ ABC composition range, there is nonmagnetic Nd in the interstage 2Fe 22B separates out mutually, final Nd 2Fe 22B 3Phase decomposition is Fe 3B+Nd 2Fe 14The three-phase contexture of B+ α-Fe.Simultaneously, the composition range of the Δ ACD among Fig. 2 is α-Fe+Nd 2Fe 14B+Nd 2Fe 17Three-phase contexture.
At this, ratio of components α-Fe:Nd that the P on the line AC of the two-phase structure line is ordered 2Fe 14B is line segment PC:AP, and each atomic percent useful molecules formula of forming is expressed as on the AC line:
Nd 2xFe 100-3xB x(3.5∝x<5.8)?----(1)
This composition can not obtain desirable Nd 2Fe 14B phase and α-Fe duplex structure mutually.For this reason, promote that exist (interpolation) of the 4th kind of element of desirable two-phaseization is necessary.
This 4th kind of element, through the result of all tests, atomic radius between Fe atom and Nd atomic radius and and Fe, Nd any nonmagnetic metal element of all being difficult to form solid solution be selected.Specifically, at least a nonmagnetic metal element of forming in Nb, Zr, Ta or the Hf element is selected.Particularly, it is effective especially to add the Nb element separately.
At least a nonmagnetic metal element of forming by elements such as Nb, Zr, Ta or Hf all is difficult to solid solution in α-Fe, follows the growth of α-Fe, and these elements are outwards got rid of.At this moment, because these nonmagnetic metal element diffusions in α-Fe are slow, the nanocrystal tissue has been stablized in the growth that has slowed down α-Fe.As shown in Figure 1, the nonmagnetic metal element with B and Fe at Nd 2Fe 14Form very thin films 3 on the crystal boundary of B phase and α-Fe two-phase alloys mutually, contained α-Fe in this very thin films 3, shown as soft magnetism, can realize exchange coupling (elastic reaction).In view of the above, by to the magnetized opposing in outside, coercive force is improved.If there is not this very thin films 3, a little less than the ability of antagonism external magnetisation, coercive force will be Nd 2Fe 14B mutually 1 with α-Fe mean value of 2 mutually.Therefore, in order to give full play to exchange-coupling interaction, wish that the thickness of very thin films 3 is thin as far as possible, concretely, thickness is 10~20 dusts, and ideal is the 15 Izod right sides.In view of the above, the addition of nonmagnetic metal element is 0.2~1.3at%, is preferably 0.5~1.0at%.
Simultaneously, for substituting that B adds, C adds the similar performance that adds with B, and magnetic property does not reduce very much, and finds that coercive force improves a little.But the interpolation of C should be the scope of 0~0.5at%.This result, according to (1) formula, the standard ratio of Nd and B is 2: 1, owing to allow the interpolation of C, actual Nd and the ratio (atom) of B they are 1.75~2.25: 1.
Further,, need to strengthen the exchange coupling of biphase composite permanent magnetic body, and need Nd with high anisotropy in order to obtain high coercive force 2Fe 14B suppresses the magnetization inversion of α-Fe phase mutually.For this reason, Nd 2Fe 14B must increase with α-Fe contact area mutually mutually, and promptly the crystallite dimension of each phase is 5~100nm, and it is effective being desirably 10~40nm.
According to the above fact, find from organizing viewpoint, high-performance permanent-magnet RE alloy of the present invention, metallographic structure is Nd 2Fe 14B 12 is the duplex structure that leads with α-Fe mutually mutually; On the grain boundary of each phase, exist at least a nonmagnetic metal element of forming contain among more Nb, Zr, Ta or the Hf etc., thickness is 10~20 dusts, ideal is the very thin films on the 15 Izod right sides; The crystallite dimension of each phase is 5~100nm, is desirably 10~40nm.
Simultaneously, find that from the viewpoint of composition high-performance permanent-magnet RE alloy of the present invention is that Hard Magnetic phase crystal grain is Nd 2Fe 14B phase 1 is α-Fe two-phase alloys of 2 mutually with soft magnetism crystal grain mutually, and component ratio is
Nd?6.125~11.6at%,
At least a nonmagnetic metal element of forming among Nb, Zr, Ta or the Hf, component ratio is 0.2~1.3at%, preferably single nonmagnetic metal element nb, component ratio is 0.2~1.3at%,
B and C add up to 4.0~5.8at%, and simultaneously, C is 0~0.5at%, is separately that B is best, be B4.0~5.8at%, all the other are Fe, and the ratio of Nd and B (atom) is 1.75~2.25: 1, be preferably 2: 1, the crystallite dimension of each phase is 5~100nm, is desirably 10~40nm.
High-performance rare-earth magnetically hard alloy of the present invention, composition are in the scope of afore mentioned rules, and metal structure is the Nd of high-coercive force basically 2Fe 14α-Fe desirable duplex structure mutually of B phase and high saturation and magnetic intensity, Nd 2Fe 14B is on distance near state with α-Fe mutually, exchange-coupling interaction can be given full play between each phase,, has both given full play to the high saturation and magnetic intensity of α-Fe phase that is, coercive force is improved fully, can obtain the high-performance permanent-magnet RE alloy of magnetic property excellence.
Simultaneously, select at least a among Nb, Zr, Ta or the Hf etc. as the 4th kind of element and when in above-mentioned scope, adding, at Nd 2Fe 14B has formed the very thin films that contains more nonmagnetic metal element mutually with on α-Fe each phase grain boundary mutually, has also further improved coercive force.
And, Nd 2Fe 14B is mutually with α-Fe crystallite dimension mutually in the scope of afore mentioned rules the time, and the contact area increase of each phase has further improved coercive force.
And then alloy of the present invention is that Nd-Fe-Nb-B is an alloy, is the alloy that does not contain Co.In contrast, special flat to open what record and narrate for 11-288807 number be that former Nd-Fe-Co-M-B is an alloy, and Co is necessary composition.The cost of raw material Co is identical substantially with Nd, is more than 10 times or 10 times of Fe and Nb cost of material, and therefore the Nd-Fe-Co-M-B before is that alloy is a high price.Alloy of the present invention does not contain Co, is alloy compared with former Nd-Fe-Co-M-B, and manufacturing cost is cheap.
Secondly, the manufacture method of high-performance permanent-magnet RE alloy of the present invention is illustrated,
At first, component ratio is,
Nd?6.125~11.6at%,
The nonmagnetic metal element of at least a composition among Nb, Zr, Ta or the Hf, component ratio (atom) is 0.2~1.3at%, preferably single nonmagnetic metal element nb, component ratio is 0.2~1.3at%, and B and C add up to 4.0~5.8at%, and, C is 0~0.5 atom %, be that B is best separately, B4.0~5.8at%, all the other are Fe, the component ratio of Nd and B (atom) is 1.75~2.25: 1, be preferably 2: 1, after the raw material weighing of each element, obtain alloy raw material.
Then,, be fused into the alloy liquation, use inert gas (for example Ar gas) that the alloy liquation is generated the alloy liquation again and drip, this alloy liquid droplet is impacted on the rotation cooling body, with greater than 10 the heating of this alloy raw material 4℃/speed of sec cools off fast, obtains banded quench solidification alloy body.
To the quick cooling alloy body carry out 640 ℃~750 ℃, better 650 ℃~740 ℃, be preferably in 660 ℃~730 ℃, more than 13 minutes, desirable heat treatment more than 15 minutes.
In view of the above, the metal structure that obtains is Nd 2Fe 14B mutually and α-Fe be that the crystallite dimension of the duplex structure that leads, each phase is 5~100nm, is desirably the alloy body of 10~40nm mutually.And having formed thickness on the grain boundary of this alloy body is 10~20 dusts, is desirably the very thin films based on the nonmagnetic metal element on the 15 Izod right sides.
The alloy body that obtains is carried out suitable pulverizing, again powder and the mixed with resin pulverized are made bonded permanent magnet.And, this powder is carried out hot pressing processing, can make block materials.And then, this powder is carried out thermal deformation can obtain anisotropic block materials.
With greater than 10 4℃/the speed rapid cooling method of sec, can be be fit to industrial rapid quench method in the past, there is no particular limitation.The alloy liquation is with greater than 10 4℃/speed of sec cools off fast, and the cooling rate by the control running roller can obtain the amorphous state of above-mentioned composition or contain the banded quench solidification body that tiny α-Fe partial crystallization goes out.Then, this banded quench solidification body is heat-treated, obtained Nd 2Fe 14B phase and α-Fe two-phase structure mutually.

Duplicate 3,6~8, along with the increase of the C amount that substitutes B, promptly the ratio of Nd and B (atom) is greater than 2 o'clock, the magnetic property step-down.Can think that remaining Nd and Fe chemical combination have generated Nd 2Fe 17Deng third phase.But, see that by sample 7 when C was 0.5at%, coercive force increased a little.And though sample 8 has higher coercive force, remanent magnetism is 0.94 T (9.4kGs), and maximum magnetic energy product is about 0.91 * 10 5T.A/m (11.4MGOe) compares with sample 3,6,7, and magnetic property is low.From this result, confirmed that the content of C is good below 0.5 atom %.In view of the above, the component ratio of Nd and B (atom) is defined as 2~2.25: 1.From this point, can imagine that Nd and the ratio (atom) of B they are the amplitude of fluctuation of existence 0.25 with 2, therefore stipulate that the component ratio (atom) of Nd and B is 1.75~2.25: 1.
Duplicate 7,10, the Nb of interpolation 1at%, remanent magnetism, coercive force and maximum magnetic energy product increase substantially, and have confirmed the effect of the 4th kind of element of foregoing interpolation.
Sample 9 is that maximum magnetic energy product is minimum in the sample 3,6~10.Sample 9 is that in the past Nd-Fe-B is an alloy, not in the composition range of the high-performance permanent-magnet RE alloy of rich Nd side of the present invention, and does not have the interpolation of the 4th kind of element.Therefore, the metal structure of sample 9 is not the α-Fe+Nd of other samples 2Fe 14The duplex structure of B, but α-Fe+Nd 2Fe 17+ Nd 2Fe 14The three-phase contexture of B.Embodiment 3.
Raw material are Nd, Fe, Nb, Fe-B and Fe-C alloy, press alloy composition Nd 9Fe 85.5Nb 1.0B 4.0C 0.5Each raw material of weighing.By with embodiment 1 identical method, make the 4 kind quench solidification bodies of thick about 30 μ ms thereafter.
Secondly, each quench solidification body is 5.0 * 10 -2~1.0 * 10 -4In 700 ℃, kept respectively 5,15,20 and 30 minutes in the vacuum furnace of Pa, cool to room temperature makes sample 11~14 then.
Once more, detect the influence of heat treatment time to the magnetic property of each sample.The magnetic property index that is detected is remanence ratio J r/ J s, remanent magnetism J r, coercive force jH cAnd maximum magnetic energy product (BH) Max, the results are shown in Fig. 7.
According to Fig. 7, when heat treatment time is between 5~15 minutes, increase with heat treatment time, magnetic property raises.Heat treatment time was greater than 15 minutes, and magnetic property changes little, and numerical value is more stable.According to this result, the phase transformation of duplex structure prolongs heat treatment time after finishing again, and crystal grain also not too can be grown up, and has shown that duplex structure is stable.
More than alloy of the present invention, external except being applied to the required high-performance magnetism of braking automobile device, motor or generator, need can also to be applied to the various devices and the machine of the high-performance magnet of magnetic property excellence.
According to above-described embodiment, the present invention has obtained following excellent effect: (1) metal structure is Nd2Fe 14The B phase is main desirable duplex structure with α-Fe mutually, and each is to be near state in distance, and the exchange-coupling interaction between each phase is very strong. (2) at Nd2Fe 14On the grain boundary of each phase of the metal structure that B phase and α-Fe form mutually, form the very thin films that contains more the 4th kind of element, coercivity improves more when giving full play to exchange-coupling interaction.
