The invention belongs to the technical field of
powder preparation, and particularly relates to fine spherical
titanium or
titanium alloy powder and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out vacuum-pumping treatment on atomization
powder preparation equipment, and then filling
inert gas into the atomization powder preparation equipment; (2) the two
raw material wires are connected with the positive
electrode and the negative
electrode of an arc power source respectively and then enter a guide
pipe through a wire feeding device, a
raw material wire contact point is formed at the outlet end of the guide
pipe, and arc molten liquid drops are generated; the
raw material wire is a
titanium or
titanium alloy wire; and (3) atomizing the
electric arc molten liquid drops obtained in the step (2) through at least two paths of atomizing
airflow to obtain the fine spherical titanium or
titanium alloy powder, wherein
airflow of the air
inlet valve intersects to form an
airflow focus which is concentrated at the same point with the raw material wire contact point in the step 2); and 4) screening the atomized powder obtained in the step 3). According to the method, the atomization efficiency can be improved, the yield of the titanium or
titanium alloy powder is increased, and the cost is low.
