Description
FIELD of THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a neodymium-iron-boron magnet material, a preparation method and use thereof.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Permanent magnet materials have been developed as key materials for supporting electronic devices. R-T-B permanent magnet materials have the highest magnetic properties and are used in many fields such as voice coil motors for hard drives, motors for electric vehicles and motors for industry equipment.


How to further improve the comprehensive performance of R-T-B based permanent magnet materials is currently a research direction in this field. For example, Chinese patent document CN110993233A discloses a R-T-B based permanent magnet material, wherein by increasing the content of X (Al\Cu\Ga) and adjusting the content of rare earths to change the ratio of Fe and B, so that a 6:13:1 phase can be formed with only the conventional content of B, a magnet material with excellent magnetic properties is achieved.


Furthermore, for example, Chinese patent document CN111180159A discloses a neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet material, which consists of the following components in percentage by weight: 29 wt % of Nd, 0.1 wt % of Tb, 0.4 wt % of Dy, 0.4 wt % of Cu, 0.5 wt % of Al, 0.9 wt % of Co, 1 wt % of B, 0.25 wt % of Nb, and 67.45 wt % of Fe; and a specific mass proportion of a Tb0.4Dy2.5—Al0.59—Nd89.6—Cu1.4—Co5.1 phase is generated in the intergranular region rare-earth rich phase.


The above formulas are based on the improvement of high Cu and high Al magnet materials, which is mainly because the addition of Cu can effectively improve the coercivity of neodymium-iron-boron magnet materials. However, the enrichment of too much Cu (such as 0.35 wt % or more) at the grain boundary will lead to the formation of microcracks in the magnet after sintering,, thus reducing the compactness and strength of the magnet. In the prior art, the addition of Al is generally used (such as Chinese patent document CN110993234A) to solve the above-mentioned defects. However, the properties such as coercivity and remanence of the magnet materials with the above formulas still cannot reach the theoretical values of the magnetic properties.


How to further optimize the formula of magnet materials to obtain a neodymium-iron-boron magnet material with higher comprehensive performance of coercivity and remanence is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Note:


“/” indicates that the element is neither added nor detected. In the neodymium-iron-boron magnet materials of the above-mentioned examples and comparative examples, the value of Fe content is 100% minus the content of all other elements. Those skilled in this field know that the content of Fe comprises some unavoidable impurities introduced during the preparation process.








    • 2. Testing for Magnetic Performance





At room temperature 20° C., the neodymium-iron-boron magnet materials prepared in Examples 1-14 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were tested by using a PFM pulsed BH demagnetization curve testing equipment to obtain the data of remanence (Br), intrinsic coercivity (Hcj), maximum energy product (BHmax) and squareness (Hk/Hcj). The testing results are shown in Table 2 below.

    • 3. Testing for Microstructures


FE-EPMA Detection:


The vertically oriented faces of the neodymium-iron-boron magnet materials prepared in Examples 1-14 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were polished, and tested by using a Field Emission Electron Probe Microanalyzer (FE-EPMA) (JEOL, 8530F). Firstly, the distribution of Nb and Co elements in the neodymium-iron-boron magnet materials was determined by surface scanning using FE-EPMA. Then, the molar contents of Nb and Co in the NbxCoy phase were determined by single-point quantitative analysis using FE-EPMA. The test conditions included an accelerating voltage of 15 kv and a probe beam current of 50 nA. The testing results are shown in Table 2 below.


Wherein, the proportion of the area of NbxCoy phase refers to the ratio of the area of the NbxCoy phase in the cross-section (that is, the vertically oriented face as mentioned above) of the neodymium-iron-boron magnet material to the total area of the grain boundary phase in the cross-section.
