Abstract

Sintered NdFeB permanent magnets and steel were soldered successfully using Zn-Sn alloy. The effects of Sn content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of soldered joints were investigated. The results showed that the typical interfacial microstructure represented NdFeB/NdFe5.5Zn(B) + ξ-FeZn13/Zn + β-Sn/ξ-FeZn13 + δ-FeZn10 + Γ-Fe3Zn10/steel. With the addition of Sn, the thickness of the NdFe5.5Zn(B) phase increased, while more β-Sn was observed in the soldering seam. The maximum shear strength reached 45.3 MPa with a Sn proportion of 6 wt.%, and excessive growth of the NdFe5.5Zn(B) phase in the joints deteriorated the mechanical properties. The fracture morphology exhibited a ductile-to-brittle transition with the occurrence of interfacial fractures due to thick intermetallic compounds.
