In material choice, RE selects pure lanthanum, praseodymium neodymium alloy, pure praseodymium, and Mg selects nickel magnesium alloy, and alloy mass is than nickel: magnesium is 4:1, and other are elemental nickel, cobalt, aluminium, manganese, and its foreign matter content is less than 1%.RE selects main commercially available rare earth kind and price factor thereof to consider.Mg selection nickel magnesium alloy reason is that the fusing point of magnesium is low, vapour pressure is high, if directly pure magnesium and other raw materials are mixed carry out melting, then be difficult to the content controlling magnesium in alloy, therefore pure magnesium must be substituted with nickel magnesium alloy, then by this nickel magnesium alloy and the melting in argon gas atmosphere in the lump of other raw materials.
In the present invention, by the raw material of purity more than 99% according to molar percentage proportioning, then alloy melting adopts high frequency suspension induction furnace.Melting is carried out under inert atmosphere protection; process divides three steps to complete; first all raw materials except nickel magnesium alloy are put into crucible in the lump; rare earths material is upper; other raw materials under; first time melting is carried out in the mode progressively heated up; following taking-up ingot casting; nickel magnesium alloy is placed on crucible bottom, it is placed first time melting gained alloy, carry out melting in the mode progressively heated up equally; so far; alloy melting is complete, and three meltings are for ensureing alloy cast ingot composition and homogeneity of structure, suppress segregation.
Described mechanical ball milling carries out under ar gas environment, adds Graphene during mechanical ball milling, gained alloy powder is crossed 200 mesh sieves and 400 mesh sieves, gets the alloy powder in the middle of it.Add the capacity of alloy powder after Graphene and cycle life be improved significantly, C200/Cmax (%) reaches 80 more than %, substantially can reach the standard of practical application.
