2. Testing of magnetic properties: the R-T-B permanent magnet materials prepared in examples 1 to 12 and comparative examples 1 to 8 were subjected to magnetic property detection by using NIM-10000H type BH bulk rare earth permanent magnet nondestructive measurement system of China measuring institute (the test sample is a cylinder with diameter D10 mm. Times.thickness 10 mm). The test results are shown in Table 6.
Wherein,,
"Br" refers to remanence; after the permanent magnetic material is saturated and magnetized, the magnetism which can be kept by the external magnetic field is removed, and the permanent magnetic material is called residual magnetism.
"Hc" refers to coercivity, hcj refers to magnetic polarization strength coercivity (intrinsic coercivity); hcb refers to the magnetic induction coercivity.
"(BH) max" means the maximum magnetic energy product.
"Hk" refers to the knee point coercivity.
"Hk/Hcj" refers to squareness.
"HD5" is a technical index defining squareness, according to the conventional in the art, two points a (h=0.2 Hcj) and b (h=0.7 Hcj) are taken from the J-H demagnetizing curve and connected into a straight line, and then a straight line parallel to ab is made through a 0.95Br point, and the abscissa value of the intersection point of the straight line and the J-H demagnetizing curve is HD5.
The formula of the Br temperature coefficient alpha is:
the normal temperature in the formula is 20 ℃, and the high temperature is 80 ℃ or 140 ℃.
TABLE 6
3. Testing of magnetic property consistency: the test results are shown in Table 7.
(1) Square sq=hk/Hcj; wherein Hk is the value of the corresponding external magnetic field H when B is 90% br; hcj is coercivity.
(2) The relative magnetic permeability is Br/Hcb; wherein Br is remanence, hcb is magnetic induction coercive force, and when the inflection point exists in the B-H curve, the magnetic permeability takes a value before the inflection point.
(3) Max (Hcj) -Min (Hcj): the maximum coercivity minus the minimum coercivity in the same batch of products is poor in magnetic uniformity if greater than 1.5 kOe.
