This application discloses a post-
processing technology and apparatus for ViGa gas atomization
powder production. The process employs a four-step synergistic treatment: graded pre-separation,
plasma desorption, vibration densification, and cooling shaping. First, a three-stage
airflow classifier removes free
fine powder. Then,
radio frequency plasma bombardment desorbs attached
satellite spheres and melts irregular protrusions on the
powder surface. The
powder is then densified and residual
satellite spheres are removed via an ultrasonically vibrating
fluidized bed. Finally, rapid cooling with
inert gas shapes and fixes the
spherical morphology. The apparatus integrates a feeding
system, a grading module, a
plasma module, a vibration module, a cooling module, and a
control system, enabling precise control of process parameters. This application reduces the
satellite sphere content in the powder to below 5%, increases
sphericity to above 0.95, achieves a Hall flow rate ≤25s / 50g, a powder deformation rate <2%, and a single-batch
energy consumption <200kW·h /
ton. It is compatible with various ViGa gas atomization powders and solves the problems existing in the prior art.
