Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance corrosion resistance markedly by adapting an alkaline aqueous solution containing Si or Al to the surface of an R-Fe-B magnet to apply electrodeposition painting thereto. CONSTITUTION:An epoxy resin is kneaded with a powdery R-Fe-B magnet and the kneaded mixture is molded into a ring shape. This molded body is immersed in an alkaline aqueous solution containing Si or Al and subsequently drawn up to be applied to a centrifugal separator and the number of rotations are changed to control the residual amount of the solution to form the first inorg. film having a thickness of 1-4mum. After this film is dried in an air bath having proper temp., the electrodeposition painting of epoxy resin paint is performed to form a secondary film. Therefore, the surface of the magnet is protected by at least one of the primary and secondary films to eliminate a directly exposed part and the environmental resistance of the magnet is markedly enhanced.

Anticorrosive paints are currently in practical use as a means of preventing corrosion. Epoxy resin is preferably used for paint,
The conventional coating method is electrodeposition (electrodeposition of epoxy cations). Specifically, for example, in the case of a ring-shaped magnet, the magnets are suspended one by one from a conductor hook and used as a cathode, immersed in an aqueous solution of water-soluble epoxy resin, and connected to a separate anode with a voltage of about 200V. Electrodeposition is carried out for a suitable time of 2 minutes or more by applying a voltage of . Pull it out and wash it with water, typically 1
The coating is completed by baking and curing by heating at 50°C for 30 minutes.

These aqueous solutions may be applied by immersing the magnet in the solution, or by pouring or spraying. Since the liquid is relatively viscous, it is best to remove excess liquid by centrifugal dehydration or other means, leaving only an appropriate amount. The amount of residual liquid can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of centrifugal dehydration.

Therefore, a magnet having this coating on almost its entire surface can be coated to form a secondary coating in the same manner as in the case of direct electrodeposition coating. As a result, most of the surface of the magnet was covered by the primary film and the secondary film, and the points where the secondary film was not formed were covered by the secondary film, while the points where the secondary film was not formed were covered by the secondary film. There is a primary film in the
The magnet alloy is no longer directly exposed. In this way, magnets coated by the method of the present invention have significantly improved corrosion resistance compared to those simply coated by electrodeposition.

After drying in an air bath at 120'C for 5 minutes to form a primary film, an epoxy resin paint was applied by electrodeposition. The applied voltage is 200V, and the thickness of this secondary coating is:
The thickness was set to about 20μ.

It can be seen from the graph in FIG. 1 that there is almost no change up to a thickness of about 4 μm, and that the secondary coating does not interfere with electrodeposition coating at all, and that when the thickness exceeds 4 μm, electrodeposition slows down rapidly.

Regardless of the length of the electrodeposition time, in order to find out how well the secondary film formed to a thickness of 20 μm has, we measured the pencil hardness of the surface and placed it on the hot water side in an environment of 80°C and 95% RH. I conducted a test.

The results are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 in relation to the thickness of the -order coating. -If the thickness of the secondary coating exceeds 4μ, the pencil hardness and wet durability time will be shortened even with the same thickness of 20μ because the electrodeposition coating does not progress smoothly. This is thought to be due to uneven paint application and thickness, which causes the number of defective areas to visibly increase.
