A method of preparing rare earth permanent-magnetic material
Technical field
The present invention relates to magnetic material correlative technology fields, refer in particular to a kind of method for preparing rare earth permanent-magnetic material.
Background technique
Since the neodymium iron boron magnetic body eighties in last century comes out, since its excellent magnetic property is rapidly in electronics, communication, friendship
The fields such as logical transport, automation, medical treatment and new energy are widely applied.Up to the present, Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet material is comprehensive
The most excellent permanent-magnet material of magnetic property is closed, " magnetic king " is known as, there is important meaning to device miniaturization, integrated and high efficiency
Justice.
By preparation method point, neodymium iron boron magnetic body is broadly divided into sintering, bonding, hot pressing/heat distortion magnet, wherein to be sintered neodymium
Iron boron dosage is maximum.The preparation process of Sintered NdFeB magnet mainly uses strip casting to obtain Nd Fe B alloys, then will
Alloy grinds to obtain 3-5 μm of single crystal grain, and monocrystalline magnetic powder particle is put into oriented moulding in magnetic field and obtains green compact, green compact are existed
1040-1100 DEG C of temperature is sintered to obtain sintered NdFeB blank, and blank finally obtains sintered NdFeB using machining and produces
Product.In production, other than small part larger product can be formed by monolithic and is made, other most of sintered NdFeBs
Product requires to be machined, and compound material utilization rate is about 66%, and the material benefit for some thin slices and special-shaped product
With rate less than 50%.The especially special-shaped thin walls product such as magnet ring or magnetic shoe, since magnetic powder poor fluidity causes green density uneven
Even, the deformation that shrinkage ratio difference during the sintering process causes product is even cracked, to influence the yield rate and material of product
Expect utilization rate.In addition, when the particular orientations product such as preparation radiation ring, due to being limited by core sataration, it is strong magnetic field can not to be obtained
The radiation orientation magnetic field for spending very high (1T or more), to limit the development of radiation magnetic loop.
The nanocrystalline fast quenching neodymium-iron-boron that it is about 200 μm that hot pressing/thermal deformation neodymium iron boron magnetic body preparation process, which is by granularity,
Powder obtains isotropic magnet in 500-600 DEG C of hot pressing densification, then obtains anisotropy using thermal deformation at 850-950 DEG C
Neodymium iron boron magnetic body.In general, hot pressing/heat distortion magnet intrinsic coercivity is more slightly higher than sintered NdFeB, this is because
The temperature that hot pressing/thermal deformation uses is lower than sintering temperature, and the time is short, so crystal grain is more tiny.And hot pressing/heat distortion magnet can
To realize dead size or connect near-net-shape, while the strain cracking of magnet can also be effectively inhibited, so material use
Rate is higher.Hot pressing/heat distortion magnet major defect is at high cost.First nanocrystalline rapidly quenched magnetic powder price used in hot pressing compared with
It is high;Thermal deformation technique production efficiency is very low simultaneously, so high production cost.
Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet is also to be prepared using nanocrystalline rapidly quenched magnetic powder, will by adding a certain proportion of bonding agent
The magnet that magnetic powder is bonded to.The stock utilization of Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet is very high, close to 100%, and special-shaped production may be implemented
The preparation of product.The disadvantage of Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron is that magnetic property is low, and Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet magnetic energy product is mostly in 60-90kJm-3。
In conclusion the advantages of Sintered NdFeB magnet is that magnetic powder is cheap, simple production process is high-efficient, at low cost;It lacks
Point is that stock utilization is low, easily-deformable cracking.The advantages of hot pressing/heat distortion magnet is that magnet crystal grain is tiny, and stock utilization is high;
The disadvantage is that magnetic powder (the dedicated quenched powder of hot pressing/thermal deformation) price is high, thermal deformation low efficiency is at high cost.Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet
Advantage is stock utilization height, and the production of special-shaped magnet may be implemented;Major defect is that magnetic property is low, Agglutinate neodymium-iron-boron magnet magnetic
Energy product is mostly in 60-90kJm-3。
