Background technology
Nd-Fe-B rare earth permanent magnetic material is that people such as 1983 SUMITOMO CHEMICAL particulate metal Sagawa of company are at first produced.Rare-earth Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet is the strongest permanent magnet of contemporary magnetic, it not only has excellent specific properties such as high energy product, high performance-price ratio, and be processed into various sizes easily, Aeronautics and Astronautics, short-wave communication tedhnology, electronics, electroacoustic, electromechanics, computing technique, automatic technology, auto industry, petrochemical industry, magnetic separation technique, instrument and meter, magnetic medical skill now have been widely used in and other need be specially adapted to develop the various regeneration products of high-performance, miniaturization, lightness with in the device and equipment of permanent-magnetic field.The rare-earth Nd-Fe-B series permanent magnetic material is current and most important permanent magnetic material in significant period of time from now on, and the new beginning in rare earth permanent magnet field has been opened up in its appearance.

14The anisotropy field of B compound, promptly coercitive theoretical boundary is 80kOe, however the actual coercive force of sintered Nd-Fe-B alloy only is the 1/3-1/30 of its theoretical value, thereby the coercive force of raising Sintered NdFeB magnet is also had great potentialities and can be dug.A large amount of experimental results show: the Sintered NdFeB magnet microstructural undesirable be the main cause that causes coercive force lower than its theoretical value, coercive force is a structure sensitive parameter.Everybody generally admits, and the microstructure model with high-coercive force sintered neodymium iron boron material should be: the uniform crystal boundary of thickness is wrapped in Nd mutually

14The chemical composition of B crystal grain is consistent with even structure.Element adds and substitutes is to improve coercitive common method, discovers that elements such as Dy, Al, Nb, Ga, Tb, W, Mo can improve the coercive force and the temperature stability thereof of alloy, but magnet remanent magnetism and magnetic energy product are all had adverse effect.
Adopting two alloyages is that principal phase and crystal-boundary phase alloy are smelted respectively, and the main-phase alloy composition is near Nd
2Fe
14B is just dividing ratio, crystal-boundary phase alloy is rich rare earth (R=Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb etc.), and contain one or more the element of Co, Al, Cu, Ga, B, Ti etc., two kinds of alloys are broken respectively, proportioning according to a certain percentage, pass through magnetic field orientating compression moulding then, be prepared into Sintered NdFeB magnet through the oversintering tempering process at last.
Utilizing two alloyages also is to improve the coercitive effective way of magnet, and it had both reduced crystal boundary separating out in principal phase, can reduce it again in the reunion that crystal boundary hands over the corner to locate, and makes principal phase more reasonable with crystal boundary composition mutually, and the content of rare earth of principal phase can be more near Nd simultaneously
2Fe
14B is just dividing ratio, also can obtain higher H
CjThis is because principal phase is Nd
2Fe
14During B, there is not unnecessary neodymium metal to be present in the alloy, so be difficult for oxidation, though crystal boundary has the very high neodymium of content mutually, but the amorphous alloy with the fast quenching technology obtains does not exist crystal grain and grain boundary, so also be difficult for oxidation, therefore two alloyages can guarantee to also have when very low neodymium content enough crystal boundary phase and rich boron borderline phase to exist, and guarantee that alloy has high H
Cj
The present invention adopts two alloyages, by the interpolation of nano-oxide, with nano-oxide be dispersed in crystal boundary mutually in, to modified grain boundary phase to improve the coercive force of sintered NdFeB.In the invention, main-phase alloy and crystal-boundary phase alloy are prepared respectively, adopt the airflow milling flouring technology, by add nano-oxide particles in crystal boundary mutually in, and add lubricant, antioxidant, the non magnetic crystal boundary phase through the nano-oxide modification is dispersed in principal phase Nd
2Fe
14The B crystal grain boundary improves microstructure, effectively cuts off the exchange-coupling interaction between the hard magnetic phase, thereby improves the magnet coercive force.Adopt two alloyage technologies to add nano-oxide and can effectively improve the crystal boundary phase morphology, make the crystal boundary after the modification be uniformly distributed in around the main phase grain mutually, play an important role at aspects such as magnet densification and degaussing exchange-coupling interactions simultaneously, thereby promote coercive force to improve.
