  • Patent number: 11981983
    Abstract: The invention discloses a composite rare earth anisotropic bonded magnet and a preparation method thereof. The composite rare earth anisotropic bonded magnet comprises a Nd—Fe—B magnetic powder, a Sm—Fe—N magnetic powder, a binder and an inorganic nano-dispersant. The preparation method comprises steps of preparing a Nd—Fe—B magnetic powder by a HDDR method, preparing a Sm—Fe—N magnetic powder by a powder metallurgy method, mixing the Nd—Fe—B magnetic powder, the Sm—Fe—N magnetic powder, the binder and the inorganic nano-dispersant at a specific ratio to finally obtain the composite rare earth anisotropic bonded magnet. The invention, by adding an inorganic nano-dispersant, enables the full dispersion of the fine Sm—Fe—N powder during the mixing process of the binder, the Nd—Fe—B magnetic powder and the Sm—Fe—N powder, and thus makes the fine Sm—Fe—N powder and the binder evenly coated on the surface of the anisotropic Nd—Fe—B magnetic powder.

  • Patent number: 11802326
    Abstract: An anisotropic bonded magnet and a preparation method thereof are provided. By stacking magnets having different magnetic properties and/or densities, the magnets in the middle have high properties and the magnets at two ends and/or the periphery have low properties, thereby compensating for a property deviation caused by a difference in pressing densities during a pressing process, and improving the property uniformity of the magnets in an axial direction. The method solves the problem of “low in the middle and high at two ends” caused by the phenomenon of non-uniform magnetic field orientation and density along a height direction during orientation and densification.

  • Patent number: 11495376
    Abstract: The present invention discloses rare earth-bonded magnetic powder and a preparation method therefor. The bonded magnetic powder is of a multilayer core-shell structure, and comprises a core layer and an antioxidant layer (3), wherein the core layer is formed by RFeMB, R is Nd and/or PrNd, and M is one or more of Co, Nb, and Zr; and the core layer is coated with an iron-nitrogen layer (2). In addition, the present invention also discloses the preparation method for the rare earth-bonded magnetic powder and a bonded magnet. The oxidation and corrosion of magnetic raw powder during phosphorization and subsequent treatment process are effectively prevented, thereby further improving the long-term temperature resistance and environmental tolerance of the material.

  • Publication number: 20210129217
    Abstract: A method for preparing a rare earth anisotropic bonded magnetic powder, comprises the following steps: (1) preparing raw powder with RTBH as the main component, wherein, R is Nd or Pr/Nd, and T is a transition metal containing Fe; (2) adding La/Ce hydride and copper powder to the raw powder to form a mixture; (3) subjecting the mixture to atmosphere diffusion heat treatment to give the rare earth anisotropic bonded magnetic powder. The invention selects high-abundance rare earth elements La, Ce to replace Dy, Tb, Nd, Pr and other medium and heavy rare earth elements, which can achieve the same coercivity improvement effect while also significantly reducing the cost, thereby achieving efficient application of low-cost and high-abundance rare earths.
