Abstract  

A Cr-free Zn-Al coating was prepared via a two-step process, namely spraying Zn-Al paste and subsequently baking, on the surface of sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet, and which was further examined by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis, and differential thermal comprehensive thermal analyzer (TG-DTA) in terms of its morphology, composition, and formation mechanism of the coating. The corrosion behavior of the coated Nd-Fe-B magnet was studied via immersion testing in 3.5%NaCl solution, and neutral salt spray testing. The results show that Zn-Al coating is uniformly coated on the surface of the NdFeB magnet, the coating thickness is about 27 µm, while, its corrosion resistance to neutral salt spray testing is higher than 1000 h; In other word, the Cr-free Zn-Al coating can provide excellent cathodic protection and physical barrier for NdFeB permanent magnet.
