Description

一种稀土永磁材料的制备方法
技术领域
本发明涉及磁性材料相关技术领域， 尤其是指一种稀土永磁材料的制备 方法。
背景技术
自上世纪 80年代钕铁硼磁体问世以来， 由于其优异的磁性能迅速在电 子、 通讯、 交通运输、 自动化、 医疗和新能源等领域获得广泛的应用。 到目 前为止， 钕铁硼永磁材料是综合磁性能最优异的永磁材料， 被誉为 "磁王"， 对器件小型化、 集成化和高效率具有重要意义。
按制备方法分， 钕铁硼磁体主要分为烧结、 粘结、 热压 /热变形磁体， 其 中以烧结钕铁硼用量最大。 烧结钕铁硼磁体的制备工艺主要是采用速凝工艺 得到钕铁硼合金， 然后将合金磨碎得到 3-5 μ πι的粉末，将粉末放入磁场中取 向成型得到生坯， 将生坯在 1040-1100°C温度烧结得到烧结钕铁硼毛坯， 毛坯 再经过机械加工最终得到烧结钕铁硼产品。烧结磁体的主要优点是磁性能高， 一般商用磁体的最大磁能积一般在 200-400 kJm-3 , 日本 NEOMAX公司实验 室水平最高达到 474 kJm-3， 这也是迄今为止磁性材料的最高纪录。 而烧结钕 铁硼的主要缺点是材料利用率低。 这是因为除了少部分大规格产品可以通过 单片成型制得以外， 其他大部分烧结钕铁硼产品都需要机械加工， 综合材料 利用率约为 66%， 而对于一些薄片和异形产品来说材料利用率不到 50%。 另 外， 烧结钕铁硼磁体的烧结收缩率约为 30%， 加之生坯的密度不均匀， 所以 烧结钕铁硼的变形开裂是不可避免的， 所以说烧结钕铁硼磁体提高材料利用 率的空间还很大。 热压 /热变形钕铁硼磁体的制备工艺是将粒度约为 200 μ πΐ的纳米晶快淬 钕铁硼磁粉在 500-600 °C热压致密得到各向同性磁体， 然后再经过 850-950°C 下热变形得到各向异性钕铁硼磁体。 一般来说， 热压 /热变形磁体的内禀矫顽 力要比烧结钕铁硼的略高， 这是因为热压 /热变形采用的温度比烧结温度低， 时间短， 所以晶粒更细小。 而且热压 /热变形磁体可以实现净尺寸或接近净尺 寸成型， 同时也可以有效地抑制磁体的变形开裂， 所以材料利用率较高。 热 压 /热变形磁体的主要缺点是成本高。 首先热压所用的纳米晶快淬磁粉价格较 高； 同时热变形工艺生产效率很低， 所以生产成本高。
粘结钕铁硼磁体也是采用纳米晶快淬磁粉制备的， 通过添加一定比例的 粘接剂将磁粉粘结成的磁体。粘结钕铁硼磁体的材料利用率很高，接近 100%， 而且可以实现异形产品的制备。 粘结钕铁硼的最大缺点是磁性能低， 粘结钕 铁硼磁体磁能积大都在 60-90kJm-3。
综上所述， 烧结钕铁硼磁体的优点是磁粉便宜， 生产工艺简单， 效率高， 成本低； 缺点是烧结温度高（1040°C以上）， 磁体晶粒容易长大， 材料利用率 低， 易变形开裂。 热压 /热变形磁体的优点是磁体晶粒细小， 材料利用率高； 缺点是磁粉 （热压 /热变形专用快淬粉） 价格高， 热变形效率低， 成本高。 粘 结钕铁硼磁体的优点是材料利用率高， 可以实现异形磁体的生产； 主要缺点 是磁性能低， 粘结钕铁硼磁体磁能积大都在 60-90kJnr3。
发明内容
本发明是为了克服现有技术中存在上述的不足，提供了一种磁性能高且生 产成本低的稀土永磁材料的制备方法。
为了实现上述目的， 本发明采用以下技术方案： 一种稀土永磁材料的制备方法， 包括如下步骤：
( 1 ) 磁粉准备： 采用真空熔炼炉制备钕铁硼合金， 之后采用氢爆法或机 械破碎法进行粗破碎， 再采用气流磨工艺进行研磨制得钕铁硼合金 粉末；
(2 ) 一次模压： 将粉末放入一次模压的模具中模压成型， 同时对磁粉施 加大于 1T的磁场；
(3 ) 二次模压： 将一次模压的产品置入二次模压的模具内， 在真空或惰 性气体保护下， 将一次模压的产品加热后， 然后施加压力进行二次 模压， 得到致密化的磁体；
(4 ) 热处理： 将经过二次模压的磁体置入真空炉内进行热处理， 至少包 括钝化晶粒尖角的均匀化热处理和优化晶界相分布的回火热处理。 本发明中， 采用的钕铁硼合金粉末， 通过连续两次模压工艺制备钕铁硼 磁体； 在一次模压时需施加取向磁场， 得到各向异性的钕铁硼生坯， 在二次 模压时通过加热加压， 得到致密的钕铁硼磁体， 而且磁体的尺寸接近最终产 品的尺寸； 由于二次模压后得到的磁体磁性能很低， 所以需要通过特殊的热 处理工艺来提高磁体磁性能。 采用模压工艺， 产品接近最终成品的尺寸， 材 料利用率高； 无需热变形， 生产效率高， 所以成本远低于热压 /热变形磁体； 磁性能达到 200 kJm-3以上， 远高于粘结钕铁硼磁体。
作为优选， 在步骤（1 ) 中， 所采用的钕铁硼合金粉末为微米晶或单晶颗 粒， 研磨制得的钕铁硼合金粉末平均粒径范围控制在 1-10 μ πι。 所采用的钕 铁硼粉末为微米晶、 单晶颗粒， 故而采用普通真空熔炼炉制备即可， 磁粉成 本低。 作为优选， 在步骤（1 ) 中， 在研磨制得钕铁硼合金粉末之后， 加入富稀 土合金粉末， 富稀土合金粉末的组成成分为： 稀土元素镨、 钕、 镝、 铽中的 一种或多种， 其他非稀土元素是铝、 铜、 镓、 铁中的一种或多种， 且稀土元 素镨、 钕、 镝、 铽的质量百分比之和大于 50%; 富稀土合金粉末的添加比例 为钕铁硼合金粉末的 0-30%。 这样可以降低二次模压的温度， 有助于抑制晶 粒长大并延长模具使用寿命， 同时提高生产效率。
作为优选， 所述的富稀土合金粉末平均粒径范围控制在 0.3-4 μ πι。 使其 与钕铁硼合金粉末的平均粒径相近， 抑制晶粒长大。
作为优选， 在步骤（3 ) 中， 二次模压的模具是根据最终所需制备产品的 形状尺寸而设计的， 在步骤（2) 中， 一次模压的模具是根据二次模压的模具 而设计的。 这样设计使得在采用模压工艺时， 产品接近最终成品的尺寸， 材 料利用率高。
作为优选， 在步骤（3 ) 中， 将一次模压的产品加热到 550-1000°C， 热压 时间为 1-30分钟， 然后施加 l-500MPa的压力进行二次模压。 由于二次模压 的加热温度远低于烧结温度， 所以磁体晶粒比传统烧结磁体细小， 磁性能高。
作为优选， 在步骤（4) 中， 钝化晶粒尖角的均匀化热处理工艺如下： 采 用 700-1000°C保温 1-15小时； 优化晶界相分布的回火热处理工艺如下： 采用 400-650°C保温 1-6小时。 通过上述特殊的热处理工艺来提高磁体磁性能， 使 得磁性能达到 200 kJnr3以上， 远高于粘结钕铁硼磁体， 这也是该工艺能制得 有商用价值磁体的关键工序。
作为优选， 在步骤 （4) 之后， 再增加去应力处理工艺： 采用 150-350°C 保温 0.5-3小时。 这样有助于提高磁体的磁性能和抗弯强度。 本发明的有益效果是：
1、 致密化温度低， 可抑制晶粒长大， 晶粒较烧结磁体细小， 磁性能高； 通过显微结构观察可以发现， 本发明制得的磁体晶粒尺寸细小， 为 1-5 μ πΐ， 与钕铁硼合金粉末的平均粒径相近， 在二次模压致密化过程中没有发生明显 晶粒长大的现象；
2、 采用模压工艺， 磁体尺寸接近最终成品的尺寸， 材料利用率远高于传 统烧结钕铁硼磁体；
3、 不需要专用快淬磁粉， 不需要热变形， 工艺简单， 生产效率高， 生产 成本远低于热压 /热变形磁体；
4、 磁性能高， 最大磁能积达到 200 kJnr3以上， 远高于粘结钕铁硼磁体。 具体实施方式
下面结合具体实施方式对本发明做进一步的描述。
实施例 1 :
1、采用真空熔炼炉制备钕铁硼合金， 利用速凝薄片技术将主合金成分为 Nd26.25Pr8.75Fe64Bl (质量百分含量） 的合金制成薄片； 然后利用氢爆法和 气流磨工艺将速凝薄片制成平均粒径为 3.5 μ m 的粉末；
2、 施加 1.5T 的磁场， 一次模压得到毛坯尺寸 R8.1 X R3.6 X 10， 毛坯重 量 29.97g;
3、将一次模压得到的毛坯置于二次模压的模具内， 二次模压的模具处于 一个密闭的空间， 先抽空至 8 X 10-3Pa， 再充氩气到 8 X 104Pa， 然后升温至 780°C， 沿厚度 10的方向加压 200MPa， 保压 6分钟后冷却取出； 4、将经过二次模压的磁体置入真空炉内进行二次热处理，分别采用 900 °C 保温 8小时以及 500°C保温 4小时工艺对热压毛坯进行热处理， 制得规格为 R8.1XR3.6X5.3的磁体， 材料利用率 100%， 无掉角开裂， 成品率 100%。
实施例 2:
1、采用实施例 1中的磁体， 在步骤 1之后制得的钕铁硼合金粉末中添加 5%Nd70Cu30 (质量百分含量） 富稀土合金粉末， 其中钕铜合金粉末的平均 粒径为 3 μπΐ;
2、 在步骤 3中， 热压温度为 680°C， 其他工艺与实施例 1相同。
实施例 3:
将实施例 2的磁体在经过步骤 4的热处理后， 进行 340°C X2.5小时的去 应力回火处理。
比较例 1:
采用与实施例 1同批磁粉取向成型， 生坯规格 43.56X39.6X29.82， 按传 统烧结工艺在 1068°C烧结致密化， 与实施例 1相同工艺热处理。
烧结毛坯规格 33X30X2， 线切害 IJ成 R8.1XR3.6X5.5的黑片并进行内外 弧磨加工， 最终得到 R8.1XR3.6X5.3的磁体， 材料利用率 76%， 机械加工费 用 0.3元 /只， 加工过程中有掉角， 成品率 98%。
实施例 1、 实施例 2、 实施例 3与比较例 1的制备工艺及产品特性对比见 表 1。 实施例 2和实施例 3中模压致密化后磁体的平均晶粒尺寸大约为 3.6 μ m， 与磁粉的粒度接近； 实施例 1中磁体平均晶粒尺寸为 3.8 μπι， 在高温模 压致密化过程中晶粒长大非常小。比较例 1磁体的平均晶粒尺寸约为 5.5 μπι， 这说明该技术对晶粒细化有明显效果。 表明采用本发明的制备工艺可以明显 的减小磁体晶粒尺寸， 而且晶界相分布更均匀。 由于使用该发明制备的磁体 产品外形尺寸无需加工即可满足部分客户使用要求， 所以材料利用率接近
100%， 对于公差要求较高的产品需要进行简单加工。 采用该技术制备的产品 在机械加工性能方面优于传统工艺， 所以成品率有所提升， 甚至可以达到
100%。
表 1
Figure imgf000009_0001
采用不同工艺制备的钕铁硼磁体各项磁性能指标见表 2。 采用二次模压 工艺制得的钕铁硼磁体磁性能， 特别是 Hqj很低， 达不到商用磁体的要求， 必须进行适当的热处理； 二次模压磁体的热处理工艺与传统钕铁硼磁体热处 理工艺有明显不同， 首先需要进行均匀化热处理用以钝化晶粒尖角， 然后进 行优化晶界结构的回火热处理。 通过上述热处理后磁体的磁性能有了明显提 升， 与烧结钕铁硼磁体相近， 甚至有部分指标优于烧结钕铁硼磁体， 远高于 粘结钕铁硼。
在实施例 2中， 通过添加富稀土合金粉末， 可以降低磁体致密化温度， 从而进一步细化晶粒， 磁体 Hcj也有一定提高。
在实施例 3中， 去应力处理可以进一步改善磁体磁性能， 特别是磁体方 形度（Hk/Hcj )，有利于提高磁体的最大磁能积和减小磁体的不可逆磁通损失。
