The invention provides a preparation method of a
niobium target. According to the preparation method, firstly, a
niobium pipe blank is subjected to hot
extrusion, and then, the
niobium pipe blank subjected to the hot
extrusion is subjected to inner hole
processing, so the niobium target is obtained. In the niobium target preparation process, firstly, glass
powder is coated on the niobium
pipe blank surface, because the niobium pipe blank surface is sprayed with the glass
powder, a better lubricating effect is realized in the
extrusion process, and the surface quality of the niobium pipe blank is better; the subsequent hot extrusion
processing and the
thermal treatment are favorable for the refining and homogenization of niobium pipe blank crystalline grains; and finally, the extruded niobium pipe blank is subjected to
machining, a special tool is selected for carrying out boring and milling inner holes of the niobium pipe blank, broken chips can be continuously discharged out from the inner holes, and the problem of inner hole
surface processing influence caused by the accumulation of the broken chips in the inner holes is avoided, so the niobium target with uniform inner crystalline grains and lower
surface roughness value is obtained. The invention also provides the niobium target.
