Neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material and preparation method thereof
Technical field
What the present invention relates to is neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material of a kind of permanent magnetic material technical field and preparation method thereof, specifically is that a kind of demagnetization curve squareness (abbreviation squareness) is higher than neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material of 98% and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Nd-Fe-Bo permanent magnet material is since nineteen eighty-three exploitation, because its abundant raw materials, low price, magnetic property are best, thereby are widely used in numerous areas such as automobile, motor, instrument and medicine equipment, is with fastest developing speed a kind of in the magnetic material.Along with the specification requirement of energy-saving and emission-reduction, the application of neodymium iron boron in automobile is especially noticeable, mainly is drive motor and generator.For magneto, remanent magnetism is high more, and the gap field that provides is just high more, and the moment of motor is just big more, can improve efficiency of motor; Coercive force is high more, and the anti-demagnetization capability of machine operation field is just strong more, and working range is also just wide more; Squareness is good more, and the dynamic loss of motor is just more little.Therefore neodymium iron boron not only requires it to have very high magnetic property, the temperature stability that also needs as motor material hot soak condition.But neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material exists Curie temperature lower, temperature coefficient is big, squareness is not high and repeated shortcoming such as bad, obtained very big progress about the research that how to reduce temperature coefficient and raising Curie temperature at present, but it is less about the research that how to improve squareness, therefore significant about the research that how to prepare high squareness Sintered NdFeB magnet.
Literature search through prior art is found, people such as Liu Xiang ripples are at " relation of Nd-Fe-B magnet demagnetization curve squareness and sintering process " (magnetic material and device, 2007,38 (1): the relation of once having studied magnet squareness and sintering process 46-50), he has analyzed relative density, crystallite dimension and distribution square shaped degree influence rule, this technology has been put down in writing raising density, reducing average grain size and making its grain size distribution evenly is the necessary condition of the good squareness magnet of preparation, but do not point out to prepare the process conditions of high squareness neodymium iron boron magnetic body, temperature particularly, the scope of important technical parameters such as humidity and sintering vacuum degree, and the scope of final magnet oxygen content.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the prior art above shortcomings, a kind of neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material and preparation method thereof is provided, obtain oxygen content in 1500~4400ppm scope, squareness is up to 98%~99% neodymium iron boron magnetic body, the rich Nd phase oxygen content<9at.% of dhcp structure in the magnet, the rich Nd phase oxygen content of fcc structure is 10at.%~48at.%.

c, wherein: 11≤a≤24,5.5≤b≤7,0≤c≤7, M be in Pr, Dy, Tb, Gd, Al, Cu, Ga, Nb, Co or the Y element one or more;
Second goes on foot, ingot bar or rapid hardening thin slice is carried out the coarse crushing processing and make powder through airflow milling;
Described coarse crushing is handled and is meant: adopt mechanical system to be crushed to 80~100 orders ingot bar or rapid hardening thin slice;
Described airflow milling is made powder and is meant: ingot bar or rapid hardening thin slice after by the airflow milling method coarse crushing being handled are worn into the powder that average particulate diameter is 4~5 μ m.
The 3rd step, the neodymium iron boron powder is orientated compression moulding under magnetic field, then base substrate is carried out isostatic cool pressing, obtain the rare earth base substrate;
Described orientation compression moulding is meant: externally-applied magnetic field 1.6~2.0T under the environment of 10~30 ℃ of temperature and humidity 20~40%;
The pressing pressure of described isostatic cool pressing is 150~250MPa.
The 4th the step, the rare earth base substrate is carried out the high vacuum sintering, neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material is made in last tempered processing.
Described high vacuum sintering is meant: sintering vacuum degree 1.0 * 10 is set
-2~5 * 10
-4Pa, sintering temperature is 1040~1140 ℃ of sintering that carry out 1~4h.
Described temper is meant: carry out double tempering successively under 1000~800 ℃ and 500~580 ℃, each tempering time is 1~2h.
The present invention is conceived to the actual and application of production of Nd-Fe-Bo permanent magnet material, because in actual applications, only consider that these two indexs of permanent magnet magnetic energy product and coercive force are not enough, whether the demagnetization curve squareness that also must investigate magnet meets the requirements, squareness is high more to show that the performance of magnet is good more, the opposing magnetic field intensity that can bear is big more, and anti-external magnetic field interference performance is strong more.In fact the demagnetization curve squareness of a lot of permanent magnets is lower on the market, and the neodymium iron boron magnetic body of 98%~99% squareness is rarely seen especially.After the broken powder process of Nd Fe B alloys, under specific temperature and humidity, the NdFeB magnetic is carried out the magnetic field orientating die mould, sintering and heat treatment through special process, obtain oxygen content in 1500~4400ppm scope, squareness is up to 98%~99% neodymium iron boron magnetic body, and this method repeatability better in addition.
