The application provides a self-catalytic reformer based on a 3D printing technology and a manufacturing method thereof, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, respectively taking
nickel-based
alloy powder and / or iron-based
alloy powder and
nickel-aluminum
alloy powder, mixing the powders uniformly in a mixing device to obtain printing powder; S2, using three-dimensional drawing
software to obtain a shell structure with a reserved cavity; S3, using porous
design software to obtain a porous structure, and the porous structure is matched with the reserved cavity of the shell structure; S4, 3D printing the self-catalytic reformer: taking the printing powder in step S1 and adding the powder into a powder supply bin of a 3D printer, then respectively taking the shell structure in step S2 and the porous structure in step S3 and introducing the structures into the 3D printer, and using 3D printing technology to print an integrally formed self-catalytic reformer. The self-catalytic reformer is obtained by the above method. The
structure and function are integrated, no additional catalyst is needed, the
catalytic efficiency is improved, and the production cost is reduced.
