The invention provides a
microwave aging treatment method for
cobalt-based
rare earth permanent magnetic materials.
Cobalt-based
rare earth permanent magnetic material sintered blanks prepared by a
powder metallurgy method are treated in a second-stage
artificial aging or multi-stage
artificial aging manner after the heating and the heat preservation in a
microwave manner; by utilizing the high-frequency
electromagnetic field of microwaves, on one hand, the
electron spin magnetic moment orientation of 3d casing
layers of transition metals in alloys is affected, the bonding energy between the transition metals and
rare earth metals is weakened, the
nucleation potential barriers of new Sm2Co17R phrases and SmCo5 phrases are reduced, nanocrystalline particles containing the Sm2Co17R phrases and the SmCo5 phrases are beneficial to form, and
high saturation magnetization intensity and high
mechanical property can be obtained; on the other hand, the microwaves can be converted into the diffused energy of atoms, the diffused speed of the atoms is increased, the
sintering progress is accelerated, and the
cell-shaped structures are refined. For the rare earth permanent magnetic materials treated by the method, the
cell-shaped structures can be small and uniform. The method can be applied to prepare rare earth permanent magnetic materials which contain Sm (
samarium), Co (
cobalt), Fe (ferrum), Cu (
copper), Zr (
zirconium) or Ti (
titanium) and have good
mechanical property and high
mechanical property, so that the method is suitable for industrialized application.
