Soft Magnetic NdFeB Dies | NdFeB Mold Manufacturer

Neodymium magnet, also called NdFeB magnet, is a tetragonal crystal composed of neodymium, iron, and boron (Nd2Fe14B). In 1982, Masayoshi Sagawa of Sumitomo Special Metals discovered neodymium magnets. The magnetic energy product (BHmax) of this kind of magnet is greater than that of the samarium cobalt magnet, and it was the material with the largest magnetic energy product in the world at that time. Later, Sumitomo Special Metals successfully developed the powder metallurgy process, and General Motors successfully developed the melt-spinning process, which can prepare NdFeB magnets. This kind of magnet is a permanent magnet whose magnetism is second only to that of an absolute zero degree holmium magnet, and it is also the most commonly used rare earth magnet. NdFeB magnets are widely used in electronic products, such as hard drives, mobile phones, earphones, and battery-powered tools.

In order to avoid corrosion damage, it is necessary to do a protective treatment on the surface of the permanent magnet material during use, such as electroplating with gold, nickel, zinc, tin, and spraying epoxy resin on the surface.

What Is NdFeB Magnet(Ferrite Material)

In recent years, as an energy-saving and environmentally friendly sunrise industry, NdFeB magnets have been widely used in the fields of information technology, automobiles, nuclear magnetic resonance, wind power generation and motors. The compound growth rate in the next 3-5 years is expected to be about 20%. . As China has obvious resources, cost and market advantages, the world NdFeB industry is shifting to China. In 2005, China's NdFeB production accounted for more than 70% of the global output. NdFeB magnets are divided into sintered NdFeB and bonded NdFeB.

Sintered NdFeB
The Definition of Terms

Main magnetic properties: Including the remanence (Br) of the permanent magnet material, the magnetic polarization coercivity (intrinsic coercive force) (Hcj) the magnetic induction coercive force (Hcb), the maximum magnetic energy product ((BH) max)
Auxiliary magnetic properties: including the relative recoil permeability (μrec), temperature coefficient of remanence (α(Br)), temperature coefficient of coercive force of magnetic polarization (α(Hcj)), Curie temperature (Tc) of permanent magnetic materials

The Classification Grade Of NdFeB

Material classification: Sintered NdFeB permanent magnet materials are divided into low coercive force N, medium coercive force M, high coercive force H, super high coercive force SH, and ultra-high coercive force according to the coercive force of magnetic polarization strength. UH, six types of products with extremely high coercivity EH

Grades: Each type of product is divided into several grades according to the maximum magnetic energy product: N35—N52, N35M—N50M, N30H—N48H, N30SH—N45SH, N28UH—N35UH, N28EH—N35EH

Digital grade: grade example: 048021 means (BH) max is 366~398kj/m, Hcj is sintered neodymium iron boron permanent magnet material of 800KA/m.

Character designation: The designation of sintered neodymium iron boron permanent magnet material is composed of three parts of the main name and two magnetic properties. The first part is the main name, consisting of the chemical symbol of neodymium element ND, the chemical symbol of iron element FE and the chemical symbol of boron element B The second part is the number before the line, which is the nominal value of the material’s maximum magnetic energy product (BH) max (unit: kj/m), and the third part is the number after the diagonal line, the coercive force value of the magnetic polarization ( The unit is one-tenth of KA/m), and the value is rounded up.

Grade example: NdFeb380/80 means (BH) max is 366~398kj/m, Hcj is 800KA/MR sintered neodymium iron boron permanent magnet material.

The Chemical Composition Of NdFeB

The neodymium iron boron permanent magnet material is a permanent magnet material based on the intermetallic compound RE2FE14B. The main components are rare earth (RE), iron (FE), and boron (B). Among them, rare earth ND can be partially replaced by other rare earth metals such as dysprosium (Dy) and praseodymium (Pr) in order to obtain different properties. Iron can also be partially replaced by other metals such as cobalt (Co) and aluminum (Al). The content of boron is small, but However, it plays an important role in the formation of tetragonal crystal structure intermetallic compounds, so that the compound has high saturation magnetization, high uniaxial anisotropy and high Curie temperature.

The Manufacturing Process Of NdFeB

The sintered NdFeB permanent magnet material adopts powder metallurgy technology. The smelted alloy is made into powder and pressed in a magnetic field to form a compact. The compact is sintered in an inert gas or vacuum to achieve densification, in order to improve the coercivity of the magnet , Usually requires aging heat treatment.

The Material Application Of NdFeB

Sintered NdFeB permanent magnet materials have excellent magnetic properties and are widely used in electronics, electrical machinery, medical equipment, toys, packaging, hardware machinery, aerospace and other fields.

The Chemical Composition Of NdFeB Magnet

The NdFeB permanent magnet material is a permanent magnet material based on the intermetallic compound Nd2Fe14B. The main components are rare earth elements neodymium (Nd), iron (Fe), and boron (B). Among them, the rare earth element is mainly neodymium (Nd). In order to obtain different properties, some other rare earth metals such as dysprosium (Dy) and praseodymium (Pr) can be substituted. Iron can also be partially replaced by other metals such as cobalt (Co) and aluminum (Al). The content of boron is small, but it plays an important role in the formation of tetragonal crystal structure intermetallic compounds, making the compounds have high saturation magnetization, high uniaxial anisotropy and high Curie temperature.

The third-generation rare earth permanent magnet NdFeB is the most powerful permanent magnet in contemporary magnets. Its main raw material is rare earth metal neodymium 29%-32.5%, metallic element iron 63.95-68.65%, non-metallic element boron 1.1-1.2% and dysprosium 0.6-8% niobium 0.3-0.5% aluminum 0.3-0.5% copper 0.05-0.15% and other elements.

Distinguish
  • It is usually placed on a surface that can be adsorbed with a magnet of the same specification, such as: patch, blade, iron gate, etc., to distinguish the size of the magnetic force by hand
  • Use electronic scales: Magnets with weak magnetic force are generally related to their density. If the density is low, the magnetic force will be relatively small. If the weight is heavy, the magnetic force will be relatively large. On the contrary, if the weight is light, the magnetic force will be small. The test was done.
