2fe
14the existence of B, remanent magnetism and intrinsic coercivity along with variations in temperature very large, and in the power equipment in modern times, ubiquity the demand of the efforts environment of high temperature.Usually by before fusing or forming alloy in prior art, add cobalt (Co), dysprosium (Dy) or terbium (Tb) in hybrid metal.
But dysprosium (Dy), terbium (Tb) they are all very rare and expensive raw materials, the dysprosium (Dy) only containing about 5% in usual rare earth element, and and all comprise dysprosium (Dy) in the rare earth element of not all.In recent years due to the exhaustive exploitation of rare earth element, its reserves obviously decline, and the price of dysprosium (Dy), terbium (Tb) sharply rises.Simultaneously because these rare metals are difficult to purify, even and pure being also easy to is oxidized.Therefore industry also attempts employing its hydride or fluoride as additive.But the rapid diffusion of hydride makes and sinters relevant temperature and can not make original consolidation, and impact has carried out the service behaviour of material.Although and the interpolation of fluoride makes material obtain higher coercivity, its remanent magnetism then declines a lot.

14b crystal property.
Research is thought, improves sintering temperature and extends sintering time and can improve the density of sintered magnet, but owing to improving sintering temperature, extend sintering time and can cause growing up of crystal grain, and the coercivity of thick crystal grain is lower than thin crystal grain.Therefore the remanent magnetism of Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet wants the imaginary magnet significantly equaling magnet alloy real density lower than its sintered density at present.In addition, density is low also makes that magnet mechanical strength is low, surface gets rusty easily.To this defect, usual industry is thought to be needed to carry out sintering work under hyperbaric environment, make magnet material fine and close, but operations involving high pressure needs extremely expensive operation and maintenance cost, also has larger potential safety hazard simultaneously.
For the foregoing reasons, the research preparing remanent magnetism and the enough coercitive high density Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet with expectation is needed further deeply.
