Description

Sintered magnet based on R-FE-B without heavy rare earth element and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the R-Fe-B sintered magnets without heavy rare earth element (HREE), more particularly, to based on following The R-Fe-B sintered magnets of manufacture:Liquid coating techniques, even if wherein using Gao Rong in the case of without heavy rare earth element Point metal precursor obtains the improved magnetic characteristic of sintered magnet to prepare with controlled microstructural Nd-Fe-B powder;Burn Knot technique, controlled microstructure effectively suppresses grain growth during sintering process, and the raising for obtaining sintered magnet is rectified Stupid power;And to controlling the addition of a small amount of refractory metal and the selectively formed related technology of crystal boundary, so that sintered magnet Remanent magnetism reduction minimize.The invention further relates to the method for manufacturing the sintered magnet.
Background technology
Maximum magnetic energy product (BH-max) value of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets is 29MGOe to 53MGOe, higher than other permanent magnets Such as Alnico (1MGOe to 7.5MGOe), ferrite (1.1MGOe to 4.5MGOe) and SmCo5 (18MGOe to 33MGOe).BH-max is the parameter for the magnetic characteristic for representing permanent magnet.Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets are presently believed to be Permanent magnet most strong in existing permanent magnet.Due to so excellent magnetic characteristic, Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets have been widely used in machine The miniature motor of bed and the motor, electronic information aid and automobile of industrial robot.Because Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets are near To be applied to the motor of hybrid electric vehicle and electric car, therefore Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets are by global many passes Note.However, the Curie temperature of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets is only 350 DEG C, at such a temperature, Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets start to lose Its magnetic characteristic, and there is its magnetic characteristic deterioration at elevated temperatures.Especially, in order to for exposed to extreme ring The hybrid electric vehicle of (including being up to 200 DEG C of temperature) and the motor of electric car are, it is necessary to consider magnetic property under the conditions of border Deterioration manufacture Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets.Generally, the deterioration of magnetic characteristic and coercivity are closely related.According on city The report of the magnetic characteristic for the Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets sold, at room temperature its coercivity be 25kOe, and coercive force temperature coefficient for- 0.5%/DEG C.It is thus known that when commercially available Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets are exposed to 100 DEG C and 150 DEG C, its coercivity is lost respectively About 50% and about 75%.Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets for the motor of hybrid electric vehicle need have high coercive at room temperature Performance in the temperature range of operation of vehicular electric machine to keep its coercivity.
It is related to addition with high intrinsic for manufacturing the most common process of the Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets with high-coercive force Coercitive element.By adding representational heavy rare earth element such as Dy and Tb, it is possible to increase the coercive of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets Power.Such heavy rare earth element formation intermetallic compound such as magnetic anisotropy constant be respectively 150kOe and 220kOe (at least It is Nd2Fe14Twice of B (67kOe)) Dy2Fe14B and Tb2Fe14B.That is, the addition of heavy rare earth element is remarkably contributing to Improve the coercivity of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets.
However, the yield of heavy rare earth element is less than the yield of LREE.Especially, heavy rare earth element is in the earth's crust Reserves are smaller, and at least 10 times more expensive than LREE.For these reasons, have been carried out constantly making great efforts so that weight is dilute The addition of earth elements is minimized.
It has been generally acknowledged that in the case of without heavy rare earth element, crystallite dimension is reduced to carrying by suppressing grain growth The coercivity of high Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets is maximally effective.Therefore, many researchs have been had attempted to reduce the size of crystal grain. One example is the crystal grain refinement by Grain boundary pinning effect, its by add refractory metal such as Mo, Nb and W with crystal boundary or The brilliant point of intersection formation second of person three is mutually induced.By the refractory metal added is in principal phase Nd2Fe14Solubility in B is low, It is formed such as (Mo, Fe)3B2, Nb-Fe-B and W-Fe-B precipitate.It is reported that because such precipitate is present in the second phase In (be for example present in grain boundaries), it shows Grain boundary pinning effect so as to suppressing grain growth during sintering.However, at this In the case of kind, in Nd2Fe14The precipitate existed in B crystal boundaries causes to form reverse magnetic domain, and Nd2Fe14Precipitation on B crystal boundaries The size of thing causes coercivity to reduce as the amount of additive increases and increases.Principal phase (Nd2Fe14B the presence drop of precipitate in) The relative scale of low principal phase, causes remanent magnetism to reduce [non-patent literature 1 and 2].

The present invention will be described in further detail now.
Term " three brilliant point of intersection " used herein refers to that three crystal grain are in contact with each other to form the area of rich R phases in sintered magnet Domain.
R-Fe-B sintered magnets have by R2Fe14The structure that the principal phase of B crystal grain formation is surrounded by rich R phases.Sintered magnet Magnetic characteristic and other characteristics determine by various different parameters, the size of such as crystal grain and the thickness of isolation and richness R phases.Especially Ground, the heavy rare earth metal (Dy or Tb) with high intrinsic magnetic anisotropy field is mainly used in improving the magnetic characteristic of sintered magnet. However, the low reserves of heavy rare earth element and localization cause unbalanced supply-demand and price unstable, limit it and use.
Therefore, the present inventor is studied work to develop the high-performance magnetism that magnetic characteristic is better than existing R-Fe-B sintered magnets Property material.As a result, the present inventor is concerned about the fact, when refractory metal is simply mixed, can be with production period Limit the size of crystal grain but form precipitate, cause the coercivity and remanent magnetism of reduction.The present inventor attempts to find for above-mentioned The solution of problem.Especially, the inventors discovered that when refractory metal precursor is dissolved in into absolute alcohol, by without HREE's Nd-Fe-B powder is immersed to be coated in refractory metal on the Nd-Fe-B powder without HREE in the solution, and to coated Powder when being sintered, can manufacture and wherein be present in the second phase selectivity comprising refractory metal crystal boundary or three brilliant hand over Sintered magnet at point.The present invention is completed based on this discovery.
The present invention is intended to provide being different from the sintered magnet of existing R-Fe-B sintered magnets, difference is:Even if without Heavy rare earth element is by R2Fe14The size and microstructure of the principal phase of B crystal grain formation also effectively undergo control to obtain improvement Magnetic characteristic such as high coercivity and remanent magnetism.
One aspect of the present invention provides a kind of sintered magnet, and the sintered magnet is included:Principal phase, it is by containing light rare earth The R of element2Fe14B crystal grain is formed;With the second phase, it surrounds the micro- knot of crystal grain with the rich R phases wherein containing LREE Structure, and by R2Fe14The grain boundaries of B crystal grain formation or three brilliant point of intersection include refractory metal element.
The LREE for being present in the LREE in principal phase and being present in rich R phases is independent of one another.That is, Two kinds of LREEs can be same to each other or different to each other.
R is La, Ce, Nd, Pr, Pm, Sm, Eu or Nb.Nd is used as R in following embodiment part.
Two adjacent Rs2Fe14Contact rate between B crystal grain is 50% or smaller, preferably 23% to 40%.Contact rate is The parameter that crystal grain is almost isolated by rich R completely is numerically shown.Relatively low contact rate shows that the mutual contact of crystal grain is less.
Contact rate be defined as crystal boundary contact area between two phases of identical with respect to microstructure crystal boundary the gross area it Than.That is, contact rate is defined as the ratio between the grain boundary area being in contact with each other and whole grain boundary areas, or refers to crystal boundary adjacent to each other The ratio between relatively whole grain boundary areas [16A volumes, 1985 years 7 of METALLURGICAL TRANSACTIONS A, R.M.GERMAN, the Month, 1247;METALLOGRAPHY, V.Srikanth, G.S.Upadhyaya, volume 19, on November 4th, 1986,437-445; International Journal of Refractory Metals&Hard Materials,V.T.Golovchan, N.V.Litoshenko,21,2003,241-244].It is more that higher contact rate shows that crystal grain is in contact with each other.Relatively low contact rate Show that crystal grain is isolated from each other.
Second is mutually Mo2FeB2Or MoFe2.The average grain size of second phase is less than submicron order, and is evenly distributed on R2Fe14The grain boundaries of B crystal grain formation or three brilliant point of intersection.Second mutually efficiently controls crystallite dimension, while preventing Mo to be dissolved into In crystal grain, the coercivity and remanent magnetism of the raising of sintered magnet are obtained.
In initial Nd2Fe14There are a large amount of Nd and a small amount of Nd in B powder1.xFe4B4Can be by the micro- knot of the initial powder Structure and XRD analysis are observed.Nd and Nd1.xFe4B4React to form new intermetallic compound with Mo, wherein Mo is in the sintering process phase Between formed by refractory metal precursor.Based on standard Gibbs free energy of formation, Nd2Fe14B compares Nd1.xFe4B4More stable, this is carried It is high to be formed in Nd2Fe14Mo and Nd on B powder surface1.xFe4B4Reaction formed intermetallic compound without with Nd2Fe14B is anti- The possibility answered.In addition, it is contemplated that binary alloy phase diagram, Mo and Nd can not form change between metal by the reaction under relevant temperature Compound, but Mo and Fe can be with.As a result, the R-Fe-B powder that the nucleocapsid structure to be formed is coated by using refractory metal can be with The second phase is formed by following chemical reaction during sintering process:
(1)4Mo+Nd1.xFe4B4→2Mo2FeB2+2Fe+1.xNd
(2)xFe+Mo→MoFex
In sintering process, it is present in the Nd on Nd-Fe-B powder surface1.xFe4B4It can react to form Mo with Mo2FeB2 Phase, as described in reaction (1).However, after as completed by sintering determined by the XRD facies analyses of sample, MoFexMutually pass through Mo and the Fe being present in rich-Nd phase form Mo2FeB2Remaining Fe reacts and formed after phase.
The use of the core-shell structure copolymer material powder coated in the present invention through Mo makes it possible to form second during sintering process Phase.Second mutually effectively suppresses grain growth, and crystallite dimension deviation is limited into 1.5 μm or smaller.
The formation of second phase improves the wetability between rich R phases and crystal grain, and causes richness R phases preferably to penetrate into crystal boundary Between.
R2Fe14The average diameter of B crystal grain is 5nm to 6.5nm, and this applies to the level of sintered magnet.If R2Fe14B The diameter of crystal grain is not easy to be isolated more than 6.5nm, then crystal grain, and magnetic exchange coupling therefore occurs between crystal grain, causes low Coercivity.
The coercivity of sintered magnet with said structure is 10kOe to 20kOe, and remanent magnetism is 1T to 1.7T, than existing There is sintered magnet to be in higher level.
Another aspect provides the method for manufacturing the microstructural sintered magnet, such as institute in Fig. 1 Show.
The production of the material powder of nucleocapsid structure generally passes through dry-coating process such as physical vapour deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition Or spray to realize.On the contrary, the present invention method use liquid coating processes with more rapidly and simply mode prepare thickness of the shell Uniform nucleocapsid structure material powder.
Core-shell structure copolymer material powder is prepared using liquid coating processes, wherein refractory metal is coated in by band casting On R-Fe-B powder prepared by (strip casting).First, R-Fe-B powder is immersed into refractory metal precursor in absolute alcohol In solution in with refractory metal precursor coat R-Fe-B powder.
Then, it is dried and thermally decomposes so that the organic compound from coated R-Fe-B powder is decomposed.
Thermal decomposition is carried out preferably at environmental pressure and 750 DEG C to 1000 DEG C, true by the TGA in Fig. 2 and dsc analysis result Fixed this is optimum condition.
Thermal decomposition can be 10-3Carried out at a temperature of the decompression of support and 250 DEG C to 400 DEG C.
Most preferably, refractory metal precursor is five ethyoxyl molybdenum (Mo (OC2H5)5)。
The material powder of nucleocapsid structure is besieged before sintering, and this is effective for the isolation of crystal grain.
As it was previously stated, 0.03 weight % of the material powder of nucleocapsid structure on the surface of R-Fe-B powder is extremely 0.20 weight % Mo shells.Mo shells content is 0.03 weight % or more, preferably 0.03 weight % to 0.2 weight %.Work as Mo When shell content is 0.2% weight, it can be ensured that coercivity maximum is improved.
If Mo shells content is less than lower limit defined above, it is difficult to the size for effectively limiting crystal grain.If in addition, Mo Shell content exceedes the upper limit defined above, then refractory metal (Mo) excess diffusion, into crystal grain, makes the coercivity of sintered magnet Deterioration.Therefore preferably Mo shell contents are adjusted to scope defined above.
As described above, the step of technique of material powder for preparing nucleocapsid structure is reduced, enabling quick to prepare Nucleocapsid structure material powder, and be favourable in terms of coating efficiency compared with routinely dry technique.Especially, the technique is kept away The demand to optional equipment such as sputtering system is exempted from, and in terms of cost benefit has been therefore favourable compared with routinely dry technique 's.
Finally, the material powder of nucleocapsid structure is sintered to manufacture desired R- at 900 DEG C to 1100 DEG C Fe-B sintered magnets.
Especially, when sintering temperature reaches about 635 DEG C, rich R phases are begun to appear in liquid phase.
When temperature is further raised, around core comprising shell of the high-melting-point containing metal along grain boundary decision to richness R liquid phases In and form around crystal grain the second phase.Second mutually further isolates crystal grain.
Shell comprising refractory metal is with being present in Nd2Fe14Nd on B core powder surface1.xFe4B4Reaction forms second Phase.Grain growth during second phase effectively suppresses sintering process causes crystallite dimension to may remain in low-level.
The change of intercrystalline capillary force is caused to improve wetability in the formation of the phase of grain boundaries second.Improved profit The moist isolation for promoting crystal grain so that rich R phases are preferably penetrated between crystal boundary.
Sintering process suppresses the size of sintered particles and makes uniform microstructure.The relative density of sintered magnet be 99% or Person is higher, and coercivity is 10kOe to 20kOe, and remanent magnetism is 1T to 1.7T, and these are above existing sintered magnet.Even if in addition, not Using any heavy rare earth element, sintering process also ensures that the high-performance of sintered magnet.High performance sintered magnet may be used as being used for The substitute of HREE sintered magnets in the magnetic material of engine, generator and green energy resource and its application component.
Another aspect of the present invention is related to five ethyoxyl molybdenums as making in the method for manufacturing R-Fe-B sintered magnets The purposes of refractory metal precursor.More particularly, to five ethyoxyl molybdenum (Mo (OC2H5)5) it is used as high-melting-point for improving The purposes of coatings of the Mo of metal on particle such as R-Fe-B powder particle surfaces.
When by liquid coating processes with refractory metal (Mo) coated particle such as R-Fe-B powder particles, five ethyoxyls Molybdenum (Mo (OC2H5)5) presence to form uniform and thin coating (shell) on R-Fe-B powder surface.

Fig. 5 shows the Nd-Fe-B powder coated through Mo is sintered after observed by SEM (BSE) and EPMA Microstructure changes.SEM (BSE) analysis shows, except corresponding to Nd2Fe14B(Hard Magnetic body phase) dark space and corresponding to richness Outside the clear zone of Nd phases, there is contrast second phase different from the contrast of rich-Nd phase (non-magnetic body phase) in grain boundaries.Carry out EPMA imagings are with the element of the second phase observed by analyzing.Second phase is determined by BSE imagings.As a result it is shown in the second phase There is substantial amounts of Mo atoms.It is less than 1 μm (sub-micron) in the size of three brilliant point of intersection and the phase of grain boundaries second, and equably divides Cloth is on whole sintered sample.Think that being uniformly distributed for the second phase is because will by the liquid coating processes prepared for powder Mo elements have been evenly distributed on Nd-Fe-B surfaces.It is formed uniformly during sintering process in crystal boundary and three brilliant point of intersection Second phase may suppress crystal boundary movement.Also analyze the element containing Mo second is mutually not present in Nd2Fe14In B phases.Think that addition is non- Chang Shaoliang Mo is induction of the formation of the second phase, and this restrained effectively Mo in Nd2Fe14Dissolving in B phases.Furthermore, it is possible to see Observe display Nd2Fe14The microstructure change that B is isolated, because rich-Nd phase is very continuous.It is expected that with micro- knot The sintered magnet of the rich-Nd phase of structure by the exchange between the ferromagnet in nucleation coercivity mechanism as can effectively be controlled The microstructure of coercivity reduction processed.
Fig. 6 shows the XRD spectrum of the sintered magnet containing Mo and the sintered magnet without Mo, and it is measured for accurately dividing Analyse the second phase observed in SEM and EPMA images.The XRD analysis of sintered sample show, in the situation of sample containing Mo of sintering Under, except Nd2Fe14Outside B phases and rich-Nd phase, also there is the Mo of large volume2FeB2Mutually with the MoFe of small size2Phase.Substantial amounts of Nd With a small amount of Nd1.xFe4B4It mutually may adhere to initial Nd2Fe14On the surface of B powder and may be anti-with the Mo on powder surface Intermetallic compound phase should be formed.Based on standard Gibbs free energy of formation, Nd2Fe14B compares Nd1.xFe4B4It is more stable.In addition, examining Consider binary alloy phase diagram, Mo and Nd can not form compound, but Mo and Fe can be with.As a result, there is core (Nd2Fe14B powder End)-shell (Mo elements) structure powder can during sintering process by it is following chemical reaction form intermetallic compound phase The possibility of (the second phase):
(1)4Mo+Nd2Fe14B→2Mo2FeB2+2Fe+1.xNd
(2)XFe+Mo→MoFex
During sintering process, it is present in the Nd on Nd-Fe-B powder surface1.xFe4B4It can react to be formed with Mo Mo2FeB2Phase, as shown in reaction (1).However, to be examined determined by the XRD facies analyses of sample after as completed by sintering Consider MoFexThe many possibilities mutually formed.For example, MoFexMutually can by Mo and a small amount of Fe being present on rich-Nd phase or Mo2FeB2Remaining Fe reaction is formed after mutually being formed.Herein it was observed that mutually be MoFe2Phase (is based on Mo-Fe compounds One of).
Fig. 7 shows SEM (BSE) image and light microscope (OM) image of following sample:(a) not Powder (being free of HREE) containing Dy, (b) is free of Mo sintered magnet, and the magnet containing Mo of (c) sintering (adds 0.03 weight %'s Mo), the magnet containing Mo (0.05 weight % of addition Mo) of (d) sintering, and the magnet containing Mo of (e) sintering (add 0.2 weight % Mo), and obtain average grain size and grain size distribution using image.500 × multiplication factor under measure about 1, 000 to 1,100 Nd2Fe14The average grain size and grain size distribution of B phases.Imaging results show containing 0.03 weight %, The average grain size of 0.05 weight % and 0.20 weight % Mo sintered sample is respectively 6.07 ± 0.13 μm, 5.88 ± 0.11 μm and 5.60 ± 0.11 μm, these are smaller about 1.33 μm to 1.8 μm than the sample (7.4 ± 0.22 μm) without Mo.In order to divide Grain size distribution is analysed, the standard deviation of measured crystal grain is calculated.For 0.03 weight % of addition, 0.05 weight % and 0.20 Weight % Mo, the standard deviation of the sample containing Mo is respectively 1.53 μm, 1.42 μm and 1.3 μm, and the mark of the sample without Mo Quasi- deviation is 2.5 μm.That is, standard deviation reduces with the increase of the Mo of addition amount.These results can be drawn Such as draw a conclusion:With Mo addition increase, crystallite dimension becomes uniform.Even if when adding a small amount of Mo, crystallite dimension also subtracts Small the reason for is:Mo is evenly distributed in the surface of Nd-Fe-B powder by using the liquid coating processes of Mo organic compounds On.
Fig. 8 show sintered magnet without Mo and sintering magnet containing Mo (add 0.03 weight %, 0.05 weight % and 0.2 weight % Mo) coercitive change.
As shown in Figure 8, the coercivity of the sample without Mo is 11.88kOe (remanent magnetism:1.37T), and containing 0.03 weight Amount %, the coercivity of 0.05 weight % and 0.20 weight % Mo sample be respectively 12.83kOe, 13.1kOe and 13.95kOe.Especially, the coercivity of the sample of the Mo containing 0.20 weight % is higher than the coercivity of the sample without Mo 2.07kOe.Especially, even if when Mo amounts increase, the remanent magnetism of the sample containing Mo also keeps constant or only slightly reduced (1.35T to 1.37T).
From these results it can be concluded, the addition of refractory metal (Mo) restrained effectively crystal grain formation and raw It is long so that even grain size, as shown in Figure 7.
In addition, will be used to manufacture sintered magnet of the invention using the improvement liquid coating processes of refractory metal precursor Using enabling thin second to be uniformly distributed in sintered magnet, and induce small and uniform grain growth.Especially, It is also very effective that very small amount of refractory metal precursor, which is only added, in terms of grain growth is controlled.
In summary, it is believed that the coercivity of raising is explained by adding very small amount of refractory metal precursor, it is lured Second is led in the selectively formed of grain boundaries with crystallite dimension during effectively limiting sintering to increase.Especially, it is described micro- Structure effectively suppresses Mo in Nd2Fe14Dissolved in B, minimize the reduction of remanent magnetism.
