As a method for producing the permanent magnet, a powder sintering method is generally used. Here, in the powder sintering method, the raw material is first pulverized, and a magnet powder finely pulverized by a jet mill (dry pulverization) is produced. Thereafter, the magnet powder is put into a mold, and a magnetic field is applied from the outside to press-mold the powder into a desired shape. Then, the magnet powder in a solid shape molded into a desired shape is produced by sintering at a predetermined temperature (for example, 800 DEG C to 1150 DEG C for an Nd-Fe-B type magnet).
On the other hand, the process of crushing the raw material includes a hydrogen crushing process. The hydrogen crushing process uses a Nd-rich phase expansion outside the coarse powder to form gold on the Nd-rich phase of the magnet and then to be pulverized in the jet mill process.

The first temperature may be 300 to 400 degrees, the second temperature may be 450 to 550 degrees, and the third temperature may be 800 degrees or more.
The step of maintaining the second temperature may be conducted for 1 to 3 hours.

As will be readily understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, the following embodiments may be modified in various ways within the scope and spirit of the present invention. Wherever possible, the same or similar parts are denoted using the same reference numerals in the drawings.
All terms including technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. Predefined terms are further interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the relevant technical literature and the present disclosure, and are not to be construed as ideal or very formal meanings unless defined otherwise.
Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing an Nd-based sintered magnet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The method may include the steps of providing a powder raw material for forming the Nd-based sintered magnet and sintering the pulverized powder raw material.
Specifically, the step of preparing the powder raw material for forming the Nd-based sintered magnet comprises the steps of 1) producing an alloy strip having a predetermined composition, 2) performing hydrogen implantation on the alloy strip produced, and 3) Performing a dehydrogenation treatment on the alloy strip; and 4) pulverizing the dehydrogenated alloy strip to form a powder raw material.
In the alloy strip manufacturing step, an alloy having a predetermined composition is melted in a melting furnace at a temperature of 1400 to 1550 degrees, and then rapidly cooled through a strip caster to produce an alloy strip having a thickness of approximately 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
The alloy strip according to one embodiment described herein is the same as that of a common Nd rare earth magnet. Specifically, it is preferable that the alloy contains 28 to 35 wt% of Nd (or Nd / Pr alloy), 0 to 10 wt% of Dy (or Tb or Ho), 0.9 to 1.1 wt% of B, 0.5 to 1.5 wt% of Co, And 0 to 1 wt% of other transition metals such as Fe, and others. The sum of rare earth elements including Nd is 28 to 40 wt%.
Next, in the hydrogen implantation step, a hydrogen treatment may be performed for a predetermined time (for example, about 2 hours) with a predetermined hydrogen pressure (for example, about 0.1 MPa) for the produced alloy strip.
Specifically, this hydrotreating step comprises the steps of charging a chamber with a previously prepared alloy strip to form a vacuum in the chamber, injecting hydrogen into the chamber, and introducing hydrogen into the chamber to a predetermined hydrogen treatment temperature Maintaining the hydrotreating temperature for a predetermined time after heating, and cooling the alloy strip by injecting an inert gas into the chamber. At this time, in the step of forming a vacuum in the chamber, the vacuum in the chamber is approximately 1 × 10 -3 torr, and in the step of injecting hydrogen into the chamber, hydrogen can be injected to approximately 0.1 MPa.
Since the above-described hydrogen implantation process is an exothermic reaction, the temperature of the alloy strip rises from 200 ° C to 300 ° C. In this process, the Nd rich phase in the alloy strip expands due to the reaction with hydrogen, and a large number of cracks can be generated and crushed into coarse powder.
In the step of cooling the alloy strip by injecting an inert gas into the chamber, an inert gas such as argon (Ar) is injected into the chamber to cool the alloy strip in the chamber. At this time, an inert gas is used as the refrigerant for cooling the alloy strip Is to suppress the occurrence of unnecessary chemical reactions during the cooling process.
Next, in the dehydrogenating step, the alloy strip (or ground powder) is heated to a dehydrogenating temperature preferably in the range of 350 to 450 DEG C (more preferably around 400 DEG C) in the vacuum chamber for the hydrotreated alloy strip, It is possible to remove the hydrogen absorbed in the exhaust gas.
Specifically, the dehydrogenating step comprises the steps of: forming a vacuum in the chamber; heating the chamber to a dehydrogenation temperature in the range of 350 to 450 占 폚 and dehydrogenating the dehydrogenation treatment for a predetermined time (e.g., 2 hours to 4 hours) Maintaining the temperature and injecting an inert gas into the chamber to cool the alloy strip.
In the alloy strip pulverization step, the dehydrogenated alloy strip can be pulverized into powder having an average particle size of 3 to 7 탆 to form a magnet powder. That is, the magnet powder preferably has an average particle size of 3 to 7 mu m so that the sintering step can proceed smoothly. According to this grinding step, the raw material is formed into coarse powder.
Next, a fine milling step is carried out by using a jet mill to finely pulverize the particles so as to have an average grain size of 3 to 5 mu m measured by a laser diffraction method in a nitrogen gas atmosphere.
The pulverization of the raw material powder from the alloy strip to the fine powder is intended to pulverize the raw material in grain units so as to have a high degree of orientation when oriented through the molding process in the magnetic field. The coercive force, which is one of the physical properties of the Nd-based sintered magnet, is higher as the grain size of the powder is smaller.
Next, a step of sintering the fine powder prepared through the above-described steps in a vacuum state is carried out.
The sintering of the fine powder is performed by raising the temperature to a first temperature, raising the temperature to a second temperature higher than the first temperature, maintaining the second temperature, and sintering the third temperature Lt; / RTI >
In this case, the first temperature is 300 to 400 degrees, preferably 350 degrees, the second temperature is 450 to 550 degrees, preferably 500 degrees, and the third temperature may be 800 degrees or more. Also, the step of maintaining the second temperature may be performed for 1 to 3 hours.
That is, the sintering step according to the embodiment of the present invention may include 1) a step of raising the temperature from 300 ° C to 400 ° C, 2) a step of raising the temperature from 450 ° C to 550 ° C, 3) And 4) raising the temperature to 800 < 0 > C or higher. Wherein the step of raising the temperature to the first temperature corresponding to step 1) and step 2) and raising the temperature to the second temperature may be performed for 2 hours or less.
The subsequent sintering step is a well-known process in the art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Prior to this sintering step, in the case of the anisotropic magnet powder, uniaxial magnetic field molding (not shown) may be performed on the magnet powder obtained through the above-described steps under a magnetic field of a certain size (for example, 1.9 T) .
Next, a step of performing a heat treatment in a vacuum state on the sintered body (sintered magnet) obtained in the above step may be performed. In this embodiment, the heat treatment step is not performed in one step but may include a heat treatment according to a plurality of steps having different heat treatment temperatures.
Hereinafter, properties of the sintered magnet according to the examples and comparative examples of the present invention will be described. Table 1 shows the physical properties of the sintered magnet according to the embodiment of the present invention, and Tables 2 and 3 show physical properties of the sintered magnet according to the comparative example. At this time, the numerical values representing the characteristics of the magnet include the residual magnetic density (Br) as the magnitude of the magnet, the coercive force (Hcj, Hk) as the magnitude of the magnet to resist the external magnetic pole, and the magnitude of the energy There is a maximum energy potential (BHmax).
Referring to Table 1, as a result of performing the dehydrogenation process at 400 ° C. for 3 hours as in the embodiment of the present invention. Hcj was 12.7 to 12.9, Hk / Hcj was 0.89 to 0.91, and BHmax was a level of 48.7 to 49.3.
Referring to the following Table 2, it was found that Hcj and Hk / Hcj were similar to or slightly higher than those of the experimental example in Table 1, but Br and BHmax were low. That is, it indicates that the strength of the magnet is weak as the sintered magnet. Referring to Table 3, according to the comparative example, when the dehydrogenation process was performed at 550 ° C for 3 hours, Hcj was not less than 12.5, and low Hk / Hcj and BHmax were exhibited. That is, it was found that the resistance against the external magnetic field was weak as the sintered magnet.
Hereinafter, the average particle size of the powder according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. FIG. 1 is a graph according to a particle size of a raw material powder according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a graph according to a particle size of a raw material powder according to a comparative example.
1 and 2, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the dehydrogenation process temperature is 450 ° C., the powder having a particle size of 10 μm or more occupies 8.18%, whereas when the dehydrogenation process temperature is 560 ° C., It can be seen that the powder having a particle size of 10 mu m or more used as a reference of the powder accounts for 13.62%. As described above, when coarse powder is present, Hc and Hk are lowered and the maximum energy product (BHmax) is relatively lowered. Therefore, it is important to reduce the coarse powder and it is possible to reduce the amount of coarse powder according to the embodiment of the present invention Respectively.
In summary, according to the dehydrogenation process performed at a predetermined process temperature, it is possible to reduce the brittleness of the sintered magnet to improve the reliability of the magnet and to provide the raw material powder as a uniform fine powder, thereby providing an excellent sintered magnet .
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the following claims.
