METHOD OF IMPROVING THE COERCIVITY OF ND-FE-B MAGNETS

摘要

A method of improving coercivity of an Nd—Fe—B magnet includes a first step of providing an Nd—Fe—B magnet having a first surface and a second surface. Next, a first solidified film of at least one pure heavy rare earth element is formed and attached to the first surface of the Nd—Fe—B magnet to prevent a reduction in corrosion resistance caused by oxygen and fluorine and hydrogen. After forming the first solidified film, the Nd—Fe—B magnet is subjected a diffusion treatment in a vacuum or an inert atmosphere. After the diffusion treatment, the Nd—Fe—B magnet is subjected to an aging treatment in the vacuum or the inert atmosphere.
