Surface Treatment of Sintered NdFeB magnets
The sintered neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnetic material is a chemically active powder metallurgical material, which is characteristic of being hard and brittle easy oxidization and erosion. Based on its features, the most effective way is to apply surface plating or coating. As on the surface of neodymium-iron-boron magnetic material, empty holes or oxidization phase occurred by machining may exist. The surface treatment should undergo pre-treatment procedure and have appropriate plating. The process of treatment is as follows:
chamfer ¡ú polishing ¡ú lubricant removal ¡ú acid cleaning ¡ú ultrasonic cleaning ¡ú plating ¡ú plating inspection
