Thermal Aging of NdFeB Compression Molded Magnets

Article Preview

Abstract:

Compression moulded rare earth magnets are used in many applications, and one of them is in electrical motors, which can operate at temperatures as high as 150 °C. In high temperatures, oxidation and phase transformations may affect magnetic properties. Another issue to be considered is polymer degradation. In this paper cylindrical samples of a commercial ready-to-press raw material (MQPB+, Molycorp-Magnequench) were pressed to densities close to 5.50 g/cm3. These samples were cured (low temperature heat treatment) and thermal aged at 200 °C for 72 hours, under dynamic air. Physical characteristics (weight, dimensions and densities) and magnetic properties were measured at room temperature in a TCH2020 hysteresigraph (Globalmag). Degradation of magnetic properties was observed, and oxidation seems to be the main reason.
