Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of rare earth permanent magnet material recycling. More particularly, the invention relates to a regenerated sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The rare earth permanent magnetic material is the permanent magnetic material with the highest coercive force Hcj and the largest magnetic energy product (BH) max, and is an important and emerging strategic material in China. Sintered NdFeB is used as a rare earth permanent magnet material with best comprehensive magnetic performance and highest cost performance at present, and has been widely applied to the fields of automobiles, electronics, electric power, energy sources, medical treatment, information technology and the like since the coming out of 1983, and is called as 'magnetic king'. According to incomplete statistics, the annual output of sintered NdFeB in China exceeds 20 ten thousand tons, and meanwhile, the annual output is kept at a high speed of 5-10%. Along with the increase of the output and the consumption of the sintered NdFeB magnet, the resource supply of the waste magnet is also increased, and the supply of the waste magnet is expected to reach 2.7-5.4 ten thousand tons in 2030. The sources of the waste magnets mainly have two approaches: firstly, in the production and manufacturing process of neodymium iron boron, defective products can be produced in each working procedure, and particularly, a large amount of leftover materials can be produced in a processing link; secondly, after the permanent magnet device is used for a certain period of time, the whole device is retired and scrapped along with the retirement of the magnetic steel. Under the large background of rare earth resource shortage and double carbon, how to realize the efficient recycling of neodymium iron boron waste resources has become an important subject of sustainable development in the rare earth permanent magnet industry.
At present, two methods for recycling neodymium iron boron waste materials are mainly applied in the industry. Firstly, purifying and separating a magnet by a chemical method to obtain simple substance elements with higher purity, such as praseodymium, neodymium and the like. The rare earth elements in the NdFeB waste can be reused by adopting a chemical purification separation method, but the technology is complex, the cost is high, and the purification purity of other elements is not high after the rare earth is purified, so that the rare earth elements are difficult to reuse. For example, chinese patent CN116377521a discloses a method for recovering mixed rare earth from neodymium iron boron waste, firstly mixing the waste with chlorinating agent and roasting, then soaking the roasted product in water to obtain chloride solution, then adding precipitant into the solution, and calcining the precipitate to obtain mixed rare earth oxide, then electrolyzing the rare earth oxide molten salt, and extracting mixed rare earth. If a sintered magnet is to be produced, conventional steps such as batch smelting, powder preparation, profiling, sintering heat treatment and the like are required to be performed again. The patent shows that the recovery process by the chemical method is complicated, the process difficulty is high, a large amount of chemical reagents such as strong acid, strong alkali and the like are used, and the environmental pollution is high. Secondly, a powder preparation adding method is adopted, waste materials are pickled to remove surface oxide skin, then the waste materials are put into a hydrogen crushing furnace to be crushed, and then the crushed waste materials are mixed with alloy powder of other components according to requirements, and a regenerated magnet is obtained through air flow grinding, profiling, sintering and tempering. Chinese patent CN115954202a discloses a process method for obtaining sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet by re-air grinding waste magnet, mixing air grinding powder with rare earth powder and liquid phase powder uniformly, then performing magnetic field orientation, press forming, sintering, tempering and cooling. The waste powder prepared by the method inevitably contains more impurity elements, and the impurities are inherited into the regenerated magnet, so that the mechanical property of the regenerated magnet is poor, the permeation and diffusion are difficult to carry out, the service application of the regenerated magnet is influenced, and the magnet obtained by the method is generally used in the middle-low end field at present.

The invention at least comprises the following beneficial effects:
1) Compared with the chemical method for recycling rare earth metals, the method omits the high-pollution and high-energy processes such as strong acid and alkali treatment, oxidative roasting, reduction treatment and the like, and has the remarkable advantages of short flow and environmental friendliness; compared with the direct regeneration of the crushed waste magnet, the magnet obtained by the invention has the characteristics of excellent tissue structure, low content of C, O and other impurity elements, and the like, and has great improvement on the processing performance, grain boundary diffusion performance, mechanical strength and the like of the regenerated magnet.
2) The regenerated magnet obtained by the method has excellent microstructure through the component control and tissue control technology. The beneficial effects of this tissue structure are mainly the following. Firstly, the regenerated magnet has two main phases with different structures, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy fields H A of the two main phases are different, and when the demagnetizing domain is nucleated, the energy difference between the different main phases needs to be overcome, so that the reverse domain expansion is difficult, and the magnet has higher demagnetizing resistance. On the other hand, as the particle size of the waste magnet powder is large, the particle size of the new-born magnet powder is small and the activity is high, when the two kinds of powder are mixed and sintered at a high temperature, the large particles spontaneously engulf the small particles, and finally, a shell layer mainly containing the new-born magnet particles is formed on the periphery of the waste magnet particles.

Conventional regenerated magnets have been difficult to apply to high-end fields, especially grain boundary diffusion products, due to their high impurity element content and poor microstructure. According to the regenerated magnet disclosed by the invention, the impurity element content in the grain boundary is low, so that on one hand, a heavy rare earth diffusion source can reach a deeper position of the magnet along the grain boundary, on the other hand, the impurity content of a new magnet shell layer at the periphery of a main phase of a waste magnet is very low, the energy required by replacing PrNd element in the main phase by the heavy rare earth element is reduced, the formed heavy rare earth shell layer is more complete, the main phase crystal grain has higher anti-demagnetizing capability, and the coercivity improvement amplitude caused by diffusion is greatly improved compared with that of a traditional method. Meanwhile, the main phase has the characteristics of complete heavy rare earth shell layers and low impurity element content in the grain boundaries, so that the diffused regenerated magnet has excellent bending resistance, corrosion resistance and demagnetizing resistance.

< Test of magnet Performance >
The regenerated sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnets prepared in example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were subjected to magnetic property tests, and at least 9 samples (corresponding to 9 points in the furnace) were tested for average values of demagnetization curve tests (room temperature 23.+ -. 2 ℃ C., B r,Hcj,(BH)max,Hk/Hcj), weight loss tests (WH, 120 ℃ C., 100% RH,96 h), thermal demagnetization tests (h irr, 130 ℃ C..times.3 h,1.5mm iron plate) and bending strength (R bb, 15mm in three-point bending span) in each group of tests, and the results are shown in Table 1.
Table 1 results of magnet performance test
The results showed that the regenerated sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet obtained in example 1 of the present invention was almost equivalent to the magnetic properties index (B r,Hcj and (BH) max) of the new magnet in comparative example 2, in which the coercive force index (H cj) was about 1.8kOe higher than that of the magnet added by the pulverizing method in comparative example 1. The higher the coercivity of the magnet means the stronger the demagnetizing resistance of the magnet, the higher the service temperature of the magnet. It can also be seen from the thermal demagnetization (h irr) data of the magnet that the thermal demagnetization of example 1 of the present invention is only-0.25% under the same experimental conditions of heat preservation at 130 ℃ for 3h, which is equivalent to the nascent magnet of comparative example 2, whereas the regenerated magnet of comparative example 1 has reached-6.82%. When the thermal demagnetization is greater than 5% as specified in the national standard GB/T13560, it has been shown that the magnet cannot be used at this temperature.
When the magnet is used in service, the magnetic reliability is considered first, but the corrosion resistance and the mechanical property are also very important indexes. As can be seen from table 1, the regenerated sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet prepared in example 1 of the present invention has a flexural strength R bb of 225MPa, which is almost identical to the regenerated magnet of comparative example 2, whereas the regenerated magnet of comparative example 1 is only 186MPa; similarly, the weight loss of the regenerated sintered NdFeB magnet prepared in example 1 of the present invention is only 0.08mg/cm 2, while the regenerated magnet in comparative example 1 reaches 0.27mg/cm 2, which is more than 3 times that of example 1 of the present invention.
< Magnet component and impurity element test >
The chemical composition and impurity element content of the regenerated sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnets prepared in example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were measured using an ICP and C/O/N analyzer, and the results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2 testing of the compositions and impurity elements of magnets (mass percent,%)
PrNd | Tb | Al | Cu | Ga | Zr | B | C | O | |
Example 1 | 29.66 | 0.34 | 0.21 | 0.23 | 0.21 | 0.15 | 0.899 | 0.10 | 0.05 |
Comparative example 1 | 29.82 | 0.31 | 0.16 | 0.25 | 0.21 | 0.15 | 0.901 | 0.18 | 0.11 |
Comparative example 2 | 30.11 | 0.32 | 0.15 | 0.24 | 0.22 | 0.15 | 0.901 | 0.09 | 0.04 |
The results showed that the regenerated sintered neodymium-iron-boron magnet obtained in example 1 of the present invention was very close to the metal element composition of the magnets of comparative examples 1 and 2, but the C and O impurity elements were significantly different. The C content of the present invention was 0.10% (i.e., 1000 ppm), the O content was 0.05% (i.e., 500 ppm), and the level was lower than that of the regenerated magnet of comparative example 1. Because the C and O elements in the magnet are controlled at a lower level, the regenerated sintered NdFeB magnet obtained in the embodiment 1 of the invention is ensured to have higher mechanical properties, because the sintered NdFeB belongs to a brittle material, the magnet starts to fracture along a grain boundary when fracture occurs, and when the grain boundary is doped with more C and O element impurities, the probability of occurrence of stress concentration is increased, so that the strength is reduced. The fracture of the regenerated sintered NdFeB magnet obtained in the embodiment 1 of the invention is shown in fig. 4, and the fracture of the magnet is relatively flush, the grain size is uniform, the fracture morphology has typical crystal-along fracture characteristics, so that the regenerated magnet is ensured to have higher bending strength.
< Test of magnet Performance at different mixing ratios >
The regenerated magnets obtained in example 2 and comparative examples 3 to 4 were subjected to magnetic properties, thermal demagnetization (120 ℃ C. For 2 hours, 1.5mm iron plate), flexural strength (three-point bending, span 15 mm), weight loss properties and impurity element contents, and the test results are shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 test results for magnets of different mixing ratios
The results showed that the powder process regenerated magnet A of comparative example 3 had a low coercive force Hcj and a large thermal demagnetization, and that the C and O impurity elements in the magnet were numerous, reaching 2500ppm (0.25%) and 1800ppm (0.18%). This is because the regenerated magnet produced by the powder process leaves behind impurities from the previous process, and the re-introduction of impurity elements is unavoidable during regeneration, resulting in poor performance of the magnet. The regenerated sintered NdFeB magnets prepared in the embodiment 2 of the invention have the characteristics of high coercive force, low thermal demagnetization and high bending strength, and under the condition of adding 10% of the new magnet powder, the performances of the regenerated sintered NdFeB magnets are still equivalent to those of the new magnet B in the comparative example 4, and the regenerated sintered NdFeB magnets have good service characteristics.
< Test of magnetic Properties and impurity element content of regenerated magnets produced from sliced samples of different thicknesses >
The regenerated magnets obtained in example 3 and comparative example 5 were subjected to magnetic properties and impurity element content tests, and the test results are shown in table 4.
TABLE 4 magnetic properties and impurity element contents of regenerated magnets
The result shows that the invention is still applicable to the mixed waste magnet with unknown brands, and after the waste magnet is subjected to smelting and throwing, the components of the magnet can be determined on one hand, and C, O and other impurities existing in the waste magnet can be removed on the other hand, so that the alloy purifying effect is achieved. In the embodiment 3, a small amount of new magnet alloy is prepared according to the components of the waste magnet throwing pieces, so that the preparation of the regenerated magnet can be realized. After grain boundary diffusion, the regenerated magnet is provided with a new magnet shell layer, meanwhile, the content of C, O impurity elements in the shell layer is very low, heavy rare earth elements can replace light rare earth elements in a main phase relatively easily, a second shell layer with a higher magnetocrystalline anisotropy field is formed, and the coercive force of the magnet is greatly improved. After the magnet thickness is gradually increased from 1mm to 8mm, the magnet coercivity is only reduced from 9.01 to 8.66, and the reduction range is only about 3.8%, which shows that the regenerated magnet has good grain boundary diffusion characteristics.
