Problems solved by technology

[0002] The traditional rare earth metal extraction process will eventually obtain a single rare earth metal oxide, and the permanent magnet material required to be prepared will be obtained after various processes such as proportioning smelting; and the permanent magnet produced by this traditional process has many defects. , and the production process is difficult to control, and there are many human factors, which will affect the quality of mass production

Taking NdFeB as an example, the praseodymium, neodymium, iron, boron and other components separated by extraction are mixed and then added to a vacuum melting furnace for melting, and alloy ingots are obtained after melting. Affected by factors such as the uniformity of the previous mixing and the control of the time interval and amount of artificial addition, it will inevitably cause segregation of the alloy ingot material after smelting, and even affect the performance of the alloy ingot material and the effect of the subsequent process. The technical requirements of personnel are relatively high, and the labor intensity is high; in the preparation of traditional process methods, vacuum reduction melting furnaces are required, which cannot be realized by ordinary electrolytic furnaces. This requires relatively high production equipment for enterprises, resulting in relatively large initial production investment

In addition, the existing production process of permanent magnet materials consumes a lot of rare earth metal neodymium. Therefore, how to reduce the use of neodymium and praseodymium without changing the characteristics of permanent magnet materials, and at the same time avoid the generation of alloy ingots during subsequent smelting Segregation, and reducing the technical requirements for production equipment and the labor intensity of operators and the external field required for alloy saturation magnetization have become important issues to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art
