The invention relates to a low-cost heat-resistant sintered Ce-containing
magnet containing an Al magnetic hardening layer structure and a preparation method thereof. The permanent
magnet comprises the following chemical components by weight percentage of [(PraNdb) cAld]x{[(PraNdb)
eCef]g(Fe100-k, TMk)hBi}y, wherein 0 <= a <= 30, 70 <= b <= 100, 10 <= d <= 20, c+d=100; 26 <= f <= 32, and e+f =100;g is greater than or equal to 29.5 and less than or equal to 30.5, i is greater than or equal to 0.92 and less than or equal to 1.05, and the sum of g, h and i is equal to 100; 80 <= kh <= 200; x ismore than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 3, and the sum of x and y is equal to 100; TM is one or more of Cu, Al, Nb, Zr, Ag and Co, and does not contain any heavy
rare earth element or
gallium element. The
microstructure of the permanent
magnet comprises a permanent magnet main phase, an Al-containing main phase epitaxial magnetic hardening
thin layer and a white rare-earth-rich phase with the Fe weight percentage smaller than 40%. The Al-containing main phase epitaxial magnetic hardening
thin layer and the permanent magnet main phase form a double-main-phase structure, so that a large amount of Al is prevented from entering the permanent magnet main phase. According to the method, the coercive force can be obviously improved, the
thermal stability is obviously improved, the
Curie temperature is hardly reduced, and the residual
magnetism is not obviously reduced.
