The invention provides a device and method for preparing spherical
metal powder for 3D printing. The device for preparing the spherical
metal powder comprises a shell, a
crucible and a collecting bin,wherein the
crucible is arranged in the shell, and the collecting bin is arranged on the lower portion of the shell. The device for preparing the spherical
metal powder for the 3D printing is characterized in that a
rotating disc arranged in a powder collection area is of a inlaying structure, materials with poor thermal conductance are selected as a substrate part of the
rotating disc, metal materials with a
wetting angle less than 90 degrees with liquid drops are selected to be inlayed into a main part to be used as an atomized plane, and a ventilation hole is formed in the
rotating disc. The invention further discloses a method for preparing the spherical
metal powder for the 3D printing, a pulse microporous injection method and a centrifugal atomization method are mainly combined, a rotating disc structure is matched, and the surface of the rotating disc is subjected to
induction heating, so that
molten metal breaks through a split mode of traditional
molten metal, a fibrous splitmode which can be realized only when an atomization medium is an
aqueous solution or an organic solution is realized, high
melting point metal powder which meets requirements is prepared, the particle size is fine and grain size is controllable, the
sphericity is high, no
satellite droplet is achieved, the mobility and the
spreadability are good, and the preparation method is suitable for industrialized production.
