AND SEGMENT-TYPE PERMANENT MAGNET DERIVED THEREFROM
Technical Field The present invention relates to a magnetoplumbite-type (hexagonal) ferrite magnetic material having improved magnetic properties, and a segment- type permanent magnet derived therefrom which is used in the manufacture of small type motors for automobiles, motors for electric equipments as well as for home appliances, and other devices.
Background Art
Sintered ferrite magnets having a magnetoplumbite-type (M-type) crystal structure are employed as permanent magnets which are the core components of small type motors for automobiles, and motors for electric equipments/home appliances.
Conventional M-type Sr- or Ba-based sintered ferrite magnets are generally prepared by the following procedures; First, an iron oxide is mixed with a carbonate of Sr or Ba, and the mixture is subjected to a reaction to form SrO nFe2O3 or BaO nFe2O3 by calcination. The resulting calcined material is pulverized to obtain a coarse powder. The coarse powder is mixed with a sintering aid such as SiO2, SrCO3, and CaCO3, and then wet pulverized to obtain a slurry of a fine powder having a uniform particle size. For the purpose of enhancing the magnetic properties such as the intrinsic coercive force (iHc) of the final product, Cr2O3 or Al2O3 is added to the fine powder slurry together with the sintering aid. The resulting fine powder slurry is molded using a pressing apparatus under a magnetic field, dried, sintered and processed to prepare a magnet with a desired shape.
Recently, improved performance characteristics and higher efficiency are required of automobiles, electric apparatus, and home appliances. To meet such demand, there have recently been conducted many studies to develop a permanent magnet having improved magnetic properties in terms of the residual magnetic flux density (Br), intrinsic coercive force (iHc), squareness (Hk/iHc), and maximum energy product (B.Hmax).

The inventive ferrite magnetic material (calcined material) is characterized by comprising a primary phase of a magnetoplumbite-type hexagonal ferrite, wherein elements constituting the primary phase have a composition represented by formula (I).
Generally, when the content of Fe, the basic element of the oxide ferrite magnetic material, becomes larger, undesirable non-magnetic phases such as a- Fe2O3 are generated, lowering the magnetic properties. In contrast, when the content of Fe becomes smaller, the A site corresponding to the site of Fe ion having a magnetic moment becomes excessive, which leads to an increase of undesirable non-magnetic particle components, thereby significantly decreasing the magnetic properties. The magnetic properties of sintered M-type ferrite oxide magnets are based on the magnetic moment of Fe ions, which have the magnetic structure of a ferri-magnetic material arranged in the antiparallel direction. In order to enhance the magnetic properties such as saturation magnetization and a magnetic anisotropic coefficient, such Fe ions in the sites having the magnetic moment oriented in the antiparallel direction may be substituted with other elements having a smaller magnetic moment or non- magnetism; the Fe ions in the sites corresponding to the magnetic moment oriented in the parallel direction may be substituted with other elements having a larger magnetic moment; and Fe ions may be substituted with other elements having a larger crystal lattice and stronger interaction.
With respect to the composition of constituent elements of the inventive ferrite magnetic material, the value corresponding to the content of A, z is in the range of 0.1 and 0.5, preferably of 0.35 and 0.5. When the content of A is low, i.e. less than 0.1, sufficient substitution of A to enhance the magnetic properties becomes difficult; whereas when the content of A is high, i.e. more than 0.5, the amount of unreacted A oxide increases, which also results in poor magnetic properties.
M such as Co substitutes a part of Fe, acting to enhance the saturation magnetization and the crystal magnetic anisotropic coefficient of the M-type oxide ferrite magnetic material. The value of the content of M, ml is in the range of 0.1 and 0.6, preferably of 0.2 and 0.4. When the content of M is less than 0.1, its substitution rate with Fe decreases, which makes it difficult to enhance the magnetic properties. When the content of M is more than 0.6, the ion valence with the A site element becomes disrupted, which causes the formation of undesirable foreign phases, resulting in sharp degradation of the magnetic properties.
M' such as Cr substitutes a part of Fe, which inhibits particle growth and increases the critical particle radius, leading to an increase in the magnetic anisotropic coefficient, and ultimately, iHc of the M-type oxide ferrite magnetic material.
• Preferably, the values of x, y, z, ml and m2 satisfy the conditions of 0.1 < x+y < 0.3, 0.03 < y+m2 < 0.16, 0.09 < y/(x+y) < 0.5, 0.3 < (x+y)/(ml+m2) < 0.8, and 1.2 < (l-z)/(ml+m2) < 2.0, wherein the formula (l-z)/(ml+m2) represents the atomic content ratio of (Sr+Ba+Ca)/(M+M') and it may more preferably fall within the range of 1.4 and 1.6.
In formula (I), the atomic content ratio (Fe+M+M')/(Ca+A+Sr+Ba) corresponds to 2n. Hereinafter, exemplary preparation methods of the ferrite magnetic material and sintered magnet as an embodiment of the invention are explained in details.
<Mixing process>
First, starting materials are weighed according to the weight percentage values calculated from a desirable composition, and they are generally wet mixed using a wet-type ball mill or a wet-type attritor for 1 to 24 hours to achieve uniform mixing.
SrCO3, BaCO3, CaCO3, La2O3, Fe2O3, Cr2O3, Co3O4, Pr6Ou, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, etc. may be used as the starting materials, whose preferable mean particle diameter may fall within the range of 0.2 and 1.0 μιη.
If necessary, SiO2, H3BO3, etc. may be further added in the mixing process so as to promote the ferrite forming reaction as well as uniform growth of particles during the subsequent calcination process.
<Calcination process>
During the calcination process, the mixture of the starting materials undergoes a solid phase ferrite reaction to form a calcined material having a magnetoplumbite-type crystal structure. The calcination may be generally performed in an oxidizing atmosphere, e.g. air, at a temperature of 1080°C to 1350°C preferably for a period of 1 to 5 hours. The particle size of the calcined material is preferably in the range of 0.3 μπι and 2μητ.
<Coarse pulverization process>
The resulting calcined material is of a clinker or a granule form, and hence need to be coarse pulverized. The coarse pulverization may be conducted using a dry vibratory mill or a dry ball mill, preferably a dry vibratory mill. The average particle size of the coarse powder after the coarse pulverization is preferably 2μιη~4μηι. <Heat-treatment process>
The resulting coarse powder possesses defects such as inconsistency, distortion, and crack due to the physical stress applied during the previous pulverization process. Such defects can be removed by heat-treating the coarse powder at a temperature ranging from 900°C to 1000°C.
<Fine pulverization process>
When the powder with a mean particle diameter of Ι.Ομπι or more is subjected to a sintering process, the proportion of coarse crystal grains becomes high due to particle growth, resulting in drastic decline of iHc. Therefore, the heat-treated powder is subjected to fine pulverization to obtain a fine powder having a mean particle diameter ranging from 0.3 μηι to 0.8μιη. The fine pulverization can be carried out using a wet-type ball mill or a wet-type attritor. In case of using a wet-type ball mill, the pulverization time may be controlled within 5-40 hours, and in case of using a wet-type attritor, within 2~20 hours, depending on the predetermined desirable mean particle diameter.
In order to control the growth of particles as well as its diameter in a subsequent sintering process, an additive such as SiO2, CaO or a mixture thereof may be added during the fine pulverization process. Also, La2O3, SrO, CaO, Cr2O3, Al2O3, CoO or a mixture thereof can be added to facilitate the substitution effects and to control the particle growth in the subsequent sintering process. When the amount of additives employed is too small or too large, undesirable effects occur. Thus, each of the additives may be used in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the pulverized powder.
A dispersant may be further added during the fine pulverization process so as to enhance the alignment effects and to improve the liquidity of the slurry by lowering its viscosity, in the subsequent pressing process conducted in a magnetic field. Either aqueous or non-aqueous dispersant may be used, but considering the environmental aspect, the use of an aqueous dispersant is preferred. Suitable for use as the aqueous dispersant are organic compounds containing hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, sorbitol, calcium gluconate, and the like. The dispersant may be preferably used in an amount ranging from 0.05 to 1.0 part by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the coarse powder.
< Pressing process>
A pressing process may be performed by a wet-type or dry-type method, wherein each method may be deposited in either isotropic or anisotropic arrangement. In order to attain high magnetic properties, a wet anisotropic pressing is preferred. In this process, the slurry after the fine pulverization is pressed under pressure in an applied magnetic field and then green body for an anisotropic sintered magnet is thus obtained.
In one embodiment of the wet anisotropic pressing, the slurry after the fine pulverization is subjected to dehydration and concentration, and then to pressing under 300kgf/cm ~500kgf/cm pressure in a magnetic field of 10~20kOe at a fixed concentration. The dehydration and concentration can be carried out by using a centrifugal separator or filter press.
Preferably, for the purpose of preventing the generation of cracks, prior to a subsequent sintering process, the green body thus formed which contains residual water in an amount ranging from 10 to 15% may be allowed to be dried. If the green body having residual water goes through a sintering process, cracks may occur during the dehydration process when the temperature rises. Thus, it is preferred to dry the green body at room temperature or at a low temperature, i.e. 50°C~100°C in the atmosphere.
<Sintering process>
A sintered ferrite magnet is obtained by continuously drying and sintering the resulting green body in an oxidizing atmosphere. For elimination of residual water and dispersants remaining in the green body, dehydration and degreasing is conducted at 50°C~300°C.
Magnetic properties of the sintered ferrite magnet can be optimized by regulating sintering conditions, e.g. a sintering time, a heating rate, a maximum temperature, a staying time at a predetermined temperature, etc. In other words, regulation of the sintering conditions (sintering time, heating rate, maximum temperature, staying time) can affect concentrations of substitution elements, grain growth, a particle size, a density of the sintered magnet, thereby determining magnetic properties of the sintered ferrite magnet, i.e. Br, bHc, iHc, B.Hmax, squareness, etc.
In a preferred embodiment, the sintering may be performed by way of treating the ferrite substrate in air at a temperature ranging from 25°C to 500°C for 1 hour, from 500°C to 1000°C for 5 hours, from 1000°C to Tmax (1180°C to 1210°C) for 3 hours, at Tmax (1180°C to 1210°C) for 1-2 hours, from Tmax (1180°C to 1210°C) to 1000°C for 2 hours, and from 1000°C to room temperature for 5 hours.
The magnetoplumbite-type sintered ferrite magnet according to the present invention features excellent magnetic properties including: a residual magnetic flux density (Br) of 4550 G or greater; an intrinsic coercive force (iHc) of 4700 Oe or greater; a squareness (Hk/iHc) of 92% or greater; and a synthetic evaluation index (SFC={Br+(l/3)iHc} x (Hk/iHc)) of 5800 or greater.
Also, the segment-type permanent magnet derived from the inventive magnetoplumbite-type ferrite magnetic material and preformed to have an outer radius of 33.4R, a width of 21.9W, a thickness of 6.16T, and a length of 45L exhibits good magnetic properties of R > 0.330(mVs), ORG > 0.320(mVs), and HGF(80) > 310(kA/m) when tested with a magnetic property measurement system, Robograph 2(ECKEL). As shown in the result, the inventive sintered ferrite magnet can satisfy the required characteristics such as high performance, high efficiency, miniaturization and weight reduction, and therefore, it can be used in the manufacture of small type motors for automobiles, motors for electric equipments as well as for home appliances, and other devices.
Hereinafter, the present invention is described more specifically by the following examples, but these are provided only for illustration purposes, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
Example 1 Strontium carbonate (SrCO3), barium carbonate (BaCO3), calcium carbonate (CaCO3), lanthanum oxide (La2O3), lanthanum hydroxide (La(OH)3), iron oxide (Fe2O3), chromium oxide (Cr2O3), and cobalt oxide (CoO) were used as starting materials. These raw materials were weighed according to the composition shown in Table 2, and blended so as to obtain the sintered ferrite magnet of as shown in Table 3. Prior
Figure imgf000012_0001
to the blending, all of the raw materials were previously pulverized and disintegrated to have a particle diameter of 0.6-1. Ομηι.
The mixture was diluted to have a concentration of 40%, and wet and circulating stirred for 20 hours. Then, the resulting mixture was dried at 200°C for 24 hours and calcined at 1120°C for 2 hours, in sequence. The resulting calcined material was pulverized using a dry vibratory mill to obtain a coarse powder with an average diameter of 3μηι. The coarse powder was heat-treated at 1000°C for 2 hours and put into a wet-type attritor with water to give a concentration of 43%. La2O3 (0.5 parts by weight), CaO (0.45 parts by weight), SiO2 (0.4 parts by weight), and dispersant calcium gluconate (0.3 parts by weight) were added thereto based on 100 parts by weight of the coarse powder, and comminuted for 8 hours to give a slurry having an average particle diameter of 0.65 μιη.
The slurry thus prepared was placed into a cylindrical shape of a molding having a diameter of 40mm and a height of 10mm, and it was subjected to pressing in a magnetic field of 15kOe with a compacting pressure of 0.4Ton/cm2 to form a green body.
The green body thus formed was dried at 200°C for 10 hours, sintered in air according to the condition specified in Table 1, and then the sintered product was processed to have a diameter of 35mm and a thickness of 10mm. The maximum temperature at sintering (Tmax) was set-up as 1 180, 1 190, 1200, 1210 and 1220°C, respectively. [Table 1]
Figure imgf000013_0001
Magnetic characteristics of the prepared M-type sintered ferrite magnet were measured by using a B-H curve tracer and the results thereof are shown in Tables 4a to 4e according to the value Tmax. The composition of the sintered magnet is recorded in Table 3.
Comparative Examples 1 to 3
The procedures of the above Example 1 were repeated to prepare the M-type sintered ferrite magnets, except that starting materials were weighed according to the composition described in Table 2 without employing barium carbonate (BaCO3) and chromium oxide (Cr2O3) so as to meet the final composition as specified in Table 3.
The compositions of the sintered magnets and the results of magnetic characteristics according to the value Tmax are shown in Table 3 and Tables 4a to 4e, respectively.
The results of the magnetic properties, Br, iHc, Hk/iHc and SFC of the respective sintered magnets (sintering temperature 1190°C) prepared in Example 1, and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are shown in FIGs. 1 to 4, respectively. Also, variations in the magnetic properties, Br, iHc, Hk/iHc and SFC, as function of the sintering temperature of the sintered magnet prepared in Example 1 are shown in FIGs. 5 to 8, respectively.
Figure imgf000014_0001
Figure imgf000015_0001
As shown in Tables 4a to 4e and FIGs. 1 to 4, the sintered magnet prepared in Example 1 exhibited significantly improved magnetic properties, including Br, iHc, and SFC at all of the maximum sintering temperature, as compared to those prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 3. Particularly, FIGs. 5 to 8 showed that the sintered magnet of Example 1 sintered at the maximum temperature of 1190°C has the SFC of 5927, which suggests that it is of an optimal condition. Also, it is confirmed that Hk/iHc at the maximum sintering temperature of 1210°C shows the highest level of 95.5%, and SFC={Br+(l/3)iHc} x (Hk/iHc) represents values ranging from 5904 to 5934 at the maximum sintering temperature of 1180°C~1210°C.
Meanwhile, the value of Br increases as the sintering temperature increases, whereas the value of iHc gradually decreases and rapidly drops at the maximum sintering temperature of 1220°C. It is expected that the occurrence of this phenomenon is caused by the overgrowth of particles owing to the rise of the maximum sintering temperature.
Example 2
The procedures of Example 1 were repeated to prepare the segment- type ferrite permanent magnet 33.4Rx21.9W*6.16Tx45L, except that a segment- type molding (33.4R(outer radius)x21.9W(width)x6.16T(thickness)x45L(length)) was employed instead of the cylindrical-type molding (diameter 40mmx height 10mm); the maximum sintering temperature was set-up as 1180°C; and the resulting sintered product was processed by using a segment-type grind machine.
Magnetic properties of the segment-type permanent magnet thus prepared was measured using a magnetic property measurement system, Robograph 2(ECKEL), and the results of its magnetic properties of
Figure imgf000016_0003
and HGF(80) are shown in Table 5, wherein the

Also, the magnetic properties,
Figure imgf000017_0003
and HGF(80), of the segment- type permanent magnets prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Example 4 are shown in FIGs. 9 and 10, respectively.
[Table 6]

Example 3 to 21 and Comparative Examples 5 to 15
The procedures of Example 1 were repeated to prepare the M-type sintered ferrite magnets, except that starting materials were weighed according to the composition described in Table 7 with employing CaCO3(0.8 parts by weight) instead of CaO(0.45 parts by weight) as a fine pulverizing aid so as to meet the final composition as specified in Table 8; and the maximum sintering temperature was set-up as 1180°C.
