The effects of CuZn5 contents on magnetic properties and corrosion resistance of the magnets were sys- tematically studied. It shows that the remanence, coercivity, and maximum energy product decrease gradually with the increase in CuZn5 doping content. The magnet＇s corrosion kinetics in autoclaves environment and its electrochemical properties in electrolytes were also examined. It is interesting to see that the weight loss of 3.5 wt% and 4.5 wt% CuZn5 powders doping magnets is only 1 and 0 mg.cm^-2 after autoclaves test at 121 ℃, 2 × 10^5 Pa for 500 h, respectively, which is much lower than that of the magnets without CuZn5 doping. Electrochemical results show that the CuZn5 powders doping magnets display more positive corrosion potential （Eoorr） and lower corrosion current density （Icorr） than those of the original magnets without CuZn5 doping in sulphuric acid electrolyte and distilled water. It is, therefore, concluded that doping CuZn5 powders is a promising way to enhance the corrosion resistance of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets.展开更多

文摘The coercivity,microstructure,and magnetic domain structure of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets by grain boundary diffusion process(GBDP) with TbH3 nanoparticles were systematically investigated.Compared to the original magnet,the coercivity(Hci) of the GBDP magnets improved from 1702 to 2374 kA·m^(-1) with few remanence reduced from 1.338 to 1.281 T.Electron probe microanalysis(EPMA) analysis showed that Tb diffused along grain boundary,mainly concentrated in the boundary layer of the main phase,and formed a core-shell structure.Magneto-optical Kerr optical microscope(MOKE) analysis showed that there were two types of magnetic domain reversal in one grain:gradual reversal(GR) and abrupt reversal(AR).When the applied field decreased from saturated magnetic field,the reversal magnetic domain nucleated and then spread over the whole grain gradually,which was called GR.However,some grains kept the single domain state until Hh which was a value of reverse direction applied field in second quadrant in hysteresis loops.When the applied field increased above Hh,reversed magnetic domain would suddenly appear and occupy most of the area of the grain,which was called AR.That is because AR grains have higher reversed magnetic domain nucleation field(HRN2) than GR grains(HRN1).After GBDP,the area of AR region increased obviously and GR region decreased accordingly,indicating that the core-shell structure could change GR grain into AR grain.The coreshell structure could suppress flipping of the magnetization of the grains due to the large magnetic anisotropy of Tbrich shell.Therefore,large AR area led to high coercivity.

文摘The structural and magnetic properties were studied for recycling Nd-Fe-B powders from Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets sludge via reduction diffusion(RD)with calcium hydride(CaH_(2))particles.For comparison,traditional reducing agent calcium granules were applied to prepare recycled Nd-Fe-B powders.Finer particle size and better size distribution as well as lower impurity content are achieved by using CaH_(2)instead of Ca.In detail,the average particle size of the recycled Nd-Fe-B powder is reduced from 4.66 to 3.43μm,and the bimodal distribution disappears.Moreover,the residual calcium content and oxygen content are reduced to about 0.080 wt%and 0.32 wt%.As a consequence,the roomtemperature magnetization of the CaH_(2)-recycled Nd-Fe-B powder is increased to 146.30 emu/g,6.8%and 33%,respectively,higher than that of Ca-reduced powder and the initial sludge.Further analysis indicates that CaH_(2)is able to reduce the sludge at lower tempe rature to fabricate well-dispersed,unifo rm recycled powder with high magnetization arising from a combination factors of its low melting point,low thermodynamic behavior,and the release of hydrogen during the reaction.
