Description

The manufacturing installation of R-T-B based rare earth alloy
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of manufacturing installation that the R-T-B that is adapted at uses such as permanent magnet is a rare earth alloy that is used for making, particularly, relate to a kind of manufacturing installation that can improve the cooling efficiency when casting and can realize the R-T-B based rare earth alloy of stable operation.
Background technology
In the past, even as the magnet that constitutes by the R-T-B based rare earth alloy that in permanent magnet, also has maximum magnetic energy product, because therefore its high characteristic is adapted at using in each field such as HD (hard disk drive), MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging), various electric motor.To can bring into play energy-efficient by the magnet set that this R-T-B based rare earth alloy the constitutes electric motor that rotor forms of packing into.Therefore, because in recent years except requirements of saving energy is improved constantly, the thermotolerance of R-T-B based rare earth alloy also improves, and the usage quantity that causes being applied to the R-T-B based rare earth alloy magnet in the various electric motor of household electrical appliances, air-conditioning, automobile etc. constantly increases.
In general,, therefore be generically and collectively referred to as Nd-Fe-B system or R-T-B based rare earth alloy, after this alloy is shaped and carrying out sintering, by its magnetization just can be accessed magnet because the main component of R-T-B based rare earth alloy is Nd, Fe, B.Here, as a rule, the R in the R-T-B based rare earth alloy is based on the material that will obtain after other rare earth element displacement with Pr, Dy, Tb etc. of the part of Nd, and is to comprise at least a in the rare earth element of Y.And T is the material that the part of Fe is obtained after with other transition element displacement such as Co, Ni.And B is a boron, its part can be replaced with C or N.In addition, also can will be added in the R-T-B based rare earth alloy as a kind of or multiple combination among the Cu, the Al that add element, Ti, V, Cr, Ga, Mn, Nb, Ta, Mo, W, Ca, Sn, Zr, the Hf etc.
The R-T-B based rare earth alloy that constitutes R-T-B based rare earth magnet is a kind of like this alloy,, will help the R as the ferromagnetism phase of magnetization that is 2T 14B is as principal phase, and coexistence have nonmagnetic, rare earth element to concentrate the back and low-melting rich R phase.Because the R-T-B rare earth alloy is a reactive metal, therefore generally in rare gas elementes such as vacuum or argon, fuses, cast.In addition, for the R-T-B rare earth alloy piece after adopting powder metallurgic method by casting is made sintered magnet, usually alloy block need be crushed to about 3 μ m (FSSS: drawing in magnetic field behind the powdered alloy mensuration of using Fisher sub-sieve sizer to carry out), and in sintering oven, carry out sintering with about 1000~1100 ℃ high temperature, then, heat-treat as required, mechanical workout, and carry out coating in order to improve erosion resistance and handle, thereby form sintered magnet (permanent magnet).
In the sintered magnet that is made of R-T-B based rare earth alloy, rich R has following important effect mutually:
1) fusing point is low, is liquid phase during sintering, helps the densification of magnet, therefore helps improving the magnetization degree.
2) eliminate the concavo-convex of crystal boundary, the nucleation site (nucleation site) of anti-magnetic region is reduced, improve coercive force.
3) make the principal phase magnetic insulation, increase coercive force.
Thereby, if the dispersion state of the rich R phase in the magnet after being shaped is poor, can cause then that local sintering is bad, magnetic reduces, therefore to be dispersed in the magnet after the shaping mutually be very important to rich R.In addition, be that the distribution of the rich R phase of sintered magnet has a significant impact as the R-T-B based rare earth alloy organizing of raw material to R-T-B.
And, be that another problem that produces in the casting of alloy is at R-T-B, generating in the alloy after casting has α-Fe.α-Fe has deformability, and it can not pulverized, but remains in the pulverizer, thereby the crush efficiency when pulverizing alloy is reduced, and also can exert an influence to the variation of the composition before and after pulverizing, size-grade distribution.Therefore, in alloy in the past, the processing that at high temperature homogenizes for a long time as required, thus remove α-Fe.But, because α-Fe exists as peritectoid nuclear, needing long solid phase diffusion in order to remove this α-Fe, thickness is that the ingot casting of several cm and rare earth class content are under the situation 33% below, in fact is impossible removal α-Fe.
In order to solve the problem that in the R-T-B rare earth alloy, generates α-Fe, developed a kind of under speed of cooling faster rapid hardening casting (stripcast) method (being also referred to as the SC method) of casting alloy piece, and this method is used in actual operation.This SC method is a kind of like this method, that is, liquation is flowed on through the cooling roller made of copper after the water-cooled and with the thin slice of its casting into about 0.1~1mm in inside, thereby make the alloy quenching solidify (for example, with reference to patent documentation 1).
