Description

Technical Field

The present application relates to the technical field of neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets rich in lanthanum and/or cerium, and more particularly relates to a corrosion-resistant sintered NdFeB magnet rich in lanthanum and/or cerium and a manufacturing method.

Background Art

An NdFeB-based rare earth permanent magnet material is a third-generation rare earth permanent magnet functional material invented in the early 1980s, which has excellent magnetic properties of high remanence, high coercivity and high magnetic energy product, is thus widely used in automation technology, communication and transportation technology, information technology, aerospace technology and other sectors of the national economy, and becomes one of important basic materials supporting the contemporary electronic information industry. By this year, the usage has reached 100,000 tons, and the material has become an important material basis of modern science and technology and people's livelihood.
With the improvement of material usage, the amount of rare earth materials used as a main raw material for material manufacturing is continuously increasing. More importantly, the application field of rare earth materials as "vitamins" of modern industry is not limited to the production of rare earth permanent magnet materials. For example, in recent years, manufacturers of sintered NdFeB permanent magnet materials use relatively low-priced rare earth gadolinium element to partially replace more expensive rare earth praseodymium and neodymium elements to produce low-cost sintered NdFeB magnets, but the important application field of gadolinium is in the field of magnetic refrigeration materials and optical information storage sectors, so it is a waste of manufacturing low-cost sintered NdFeB permanent magnets with gadolinium instead of neodymium in a strict sense. Once gadolinium is found to have more important application, irreparable loss will be caused. Partial replacement of neodymium with holmium also has the same result and problem.
In the prior art, the two rare earth elements Pr and Nd are the main raw materials for producing sintered NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet materials, and the average use amount in materials is about 19 wt% to 33 wt%. However, in order to obtain some high-coercivity magnet materials, a small amount of Dy and Tb heavy rare earth elements and other non-rare earth metals such as Nb, Cu, Al, Ga, Ti, V, Mn, Zn, Zr, W, Si, Sn, Cr and Mo also need to be properly added to compose the ratio of the entire material. In the current domestic manufacturing level of sintered NdFeB permanent magnet materials, the mass production of medium and low grade products with Hcj less than or equal to 17kOe no longer needs to add Dy, Tb and other heavy rare earth elements, but the dependence on Pr and Nd as two kinds of light rare earth elements is increasingly prominent. The two elements Pr and Nd only account for 6 to 7wt% content in rare earth minerals. In order to meet the production of sintered NdFeB permanent magnet materials rich in lanthanum and/or cerium, the exploitation of rare earth resources is bound to be accelerated, causing the generation of more high-peak rare earth waste ore rich in lanthanum and/or cerium, thus increasing environmental pollution.
Therefore, if lanthanum cerium rare earth elements can be used to partially replace praseodymium neodymium materials for manufacturing NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet materials, the cost of materials can be reduced and a balanced use effect of resources can be achieved. However, due to easier oxidation of lanthanum and cerium elements than praseodymium and neodymium, the sintered NdFeB permanent magnet material with added lanthanum and cerium elements has worse corrosion resistance. Even if plated with some metal coating and placed in the air, a magnet will be severely corroded half a year later, with almost no practical value.
Based on these reasons, the improvement of the corrosion resistance of sintered NdFeB materials rich in lanthanum and/or cerium per se has become the basis of the material having practical value. The main reason for the corrosion of an NdFeB magnet lies in the electrode potential difference between a main phase and a phase rich in neodymium, in which the electrode potential of the main phase is higher than the electrode potential of the phase rich in neodymium, so that the phase rich in neodymium becomes an anode in the "galvanic reaction" to accelerate the corrosion of the phase rich in neodymium, resulting in continuous intergranular corrosion of crystal grains in the magnet. The main phase is exfoliated and pulverized due to the loss of a grain boundary phase, so as to complete the macroscopic oxidation of the permanent magnet. Therefore, how to reduce the potential difference between two phases in a sintered NdFeB magnet is the key to improve the corrosion resistance of the magnet.
In order to counteract this mechanism, people add elements Co and Cu to a material to increase the corrosion resistance of sintered Nd-Fe-B materials, wherein element Cu is added as a small metal in an amount that is not excessive (0.05 wt% to 0.25 wt%), and element Cu forms a mass phase at a grain boundary of the magnet, and generally does not participate in the replacement of a main phase element, so an effect on the magnetic property is little. However, Co element will be distributed in the grain boundary of the magnet, and can replace Fe element to form an Nd₂Co₁₄B phase, thereby reducing the magnetic property of the material.
DE 10 2015 105764 A1 discloses a sintered magnet formed by mixing an R₂T₁₄B main phase alloy with a Ce-rich grain boundary phase alloy including Ce to replace for expensive Dy element. US 2015/248954 A1 discloses a sintered magnet formed by mixing two R₂T₁₄B alloys both inluding Ce, Co and Fe. CN 102 220 538 A discloses a sintered magnet formed by mixing an R₂T₁₄B first alloy mixed with a Co, Fe, Ce, La-containing second alloy.

Summary of the Invention

In order to overcome the above defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a corrosion-resistant sintered NdFeB magnet rich in lanthanum and/or cerium and a manufacturing method, which can improve the corrosion resistance of the magnet based on ensuring the magnetic property of the magnet.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical schemes:
A corrosion-resistant sintered NdFeB magnet rich in lanthanum and/or cerium comprises an NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material rich in lanthanum and/or cerium and an alloy material rich in Co for improving corrosion resistance of the material, wherein components of the NdFeB rare earth permanent magnetic material rich in lanthanum and/or cerium are Re_αFe_100-α-β-γB_βM_γ, in which Re is a rare earth element, including two or more than two elements selected from La, Ce and Nd, and inevitably containing Nd element; M is an additive element, including one or more than one element selected from Ti, V, Cr, Ni, Zn, Ga, Ge, Al, Zr, Nb, Co, Cu, Ag, Sn, W, Pb, Bi and Pd; Fe is Fe and unavoidable impurities; α, β and γ are the atomic percentage contents of the elements, wherein 12≤α≤17, 5.1≤β≤6.8, and 0.1≤γ≤7.8; the alloy material rich in Co includes two or more than two elements selected from Pr, Nd, Gd, Ho, Co, Ti, V, Zn, Ga, Al, Zr, Nb, Cu, Ag, Sn, Pb and Pd, and inevitably contains Co.
The present invention applies an alloy material rich in cobalt for improving the corrosion resistance of a material to doping and modifying an NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material rich in lanthanum and/or cerium, so that more Co element in the sintered NdFeB magnet can be distributed on a grain boundary instead of forming an Nd₂Co₁₄B phase that affects the magnetic property of the magnet, which is conducive to the preservation of the magnetic property of the material and the improvement of the corrosion resistance of the grain boundary of the magnet.
Preferably, La and Ce elements in the rare-earth element Re account for 15 wt% to 45 wt% of the total use amounts of rare earth in the NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material rich in lanthanum and/or cerium. The use of lanthanum and cerium light rare earth elements instead of praseodymium and neodymium rare earth elements will slow down the exploitation of rare earth resources and reduce the generation of high-peak rear earth waste ore rich in lanthanum and/or cerium, so as to reduce environmental pollution.
Preferably, the rare earth element Re further comprises one or more than one element selected from Pr, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y and Sc.
Preferably, the alloy material rich in Co inevitably does not contain element Fe to improve the corrosion resistance of the grain boundary of the magnet.
The present invention also provides a manufacturing method of a corrosion-resistant sintered NdFeB magnet rich in lanthanum and/or cerium, which comprises the following specific operation steps:

(1) Preparing an NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material alloy rich in lanthanum and/or cerium according to components of an NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material rich in lanthanum and/or cerium;
(2) Preparing an alloy material rich in Co according to components of the alloy material rich in Co;
(3) Breaking the NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material alloy rich in lanthanum and/or cerium to obtain NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material alloy powder rich in lanthanum and/or cerium with an average particle size of 2.5 to 4.5µm;
(4) Adding the alloy material rich in Co obtained in step (2) into the NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material alloy powder rich in lanthanum and/or cerium according to a certain mass percentage content, wherein a process of pulverizing and mixing the alloy material rich in Co makes the alloy material rich in Co to be uniformly mixed into the NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet alloy powder rich in lanthanum and/or cerium;
(5) Pressing and molding the mixed alloy powder into a blank in an oriented magnetic field ≥ 1.5T under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere;
(6) Placing the molded blank in a high-vacuum sintering furnace for high-temperature sintering, and performing a two-stage tempering process to obtain the corrosion-resistant sintered NdFeB magnet rich in lanthanum and/or cerium.

After the above process, the prepared corrosion-resistant sintered NdFeB magnet rich in lanthanum and/or cerium will be composed of a phase rich in Nd, a main phase (Nd₂Fe₁₄B), alloy powder rich in Co and a very small amount of phase rich in B (Nd_1.1Fe₄B₄). The alloy powder rich in Co exists between gaps of main phase particles.
Preferably, a preparation process adopted in step (1) and step (2) is a casting process or a quick-setting sheet process; and in step (3), a breaking method adopted is mechanical breaking or hydrogen breaking plus jet milling.
Preferably, the preparation process adopted in step (1) and step (2) is a quick-setting sheet process.
Preferably, a roller speed of a cooling copper roller used in the quick-setting sheet process of step (2) is 5 to 15 times of a roller speed of a cooling copper roller used in the quick-setting sheet process of step (1), wherein 5 to 15 times of the roll speed is a preferred solution, and in step (2) preparation can also be performed at the same roll speed as that in step (1).
Preferably, in step (4), the mass percentage content of the alloy material rich in Co in the NdFeB rare earth permanent magnet material alloy rich in lanthanum and/or cerium is 1% to 5%.
Preferably, in step (6), sintering temperature is 1030 °C to 1090 °C and sintering time is 2.0 to 8.0 hours. The two-stage tempering process is that first tempering is carried out at 890 °C to 920 °C and constant temperature time is 1.5 to 3 hours; and secondary tempering is carried out at 480 °C to 520 °C and constant temperature time is 2 to 6 hours. Since the main phase has a melting point of about 1185 °C and the alloy powder rich in Co generally begins to melt at 600 °C to 750 °C, the NdFeB alloy in a sintering temperature state is composed of a solid main phase, a molten phase rich in Nd, a molten phase rich in B and a molten alloy phase rich in Co, and the molten phases permeate into gaps between solid powder particles of the main phase through methods of liquid-phase flow and molecular thermal movement, so that the alloy phase rich in Co better penetrates to the grain boundary in the main phase.
The corrosion-resistant sintered NdFeB magnet has the beneficial effects that the Co element in the magnet is more distributed on the grain boundary of the magnet through the innovation of the manufacturing method, the corrosion resistance of the magnet is improved on the basis of ensuring the magnetic property of the magnet, and the sintered NdFeB magnet rich in lanthanum and/or cerium has good corrosion resistance the same as that of an ordinary sintered NdFeB permanent magnet and becomes a rare earth permanent magnet material with practical application value.
