Abstract

The invention discloses a method for manufacturing spherical niobium and titanium-based alloy powder with a small particle size. The spherical niobium and titanium-based alloy powder is manufactured by the aid of vacuum induction melting, hydrogen treatment and plasma spheroidization technologies. The method includes firstly, manufacturing niobium and titanium-based spherical alloy ingots by the aid of the vacuum induction melting technology to realize a purification melting effect, reducing the quantity and the size of non-metallic inclusion to the greatest extent and performing homogenization thermal treatment on the niobium and titanium-based spherical alloy ingots to obtain ingots with uniform alloy contents; secondly, performing hydrogen treatment on the ingots to acquire hydrogen absorption niobium and titanium alloy powder; thirdly, sieving the hydrogen absorption niobium and titanium alloy powder, and then performing plasma spheroidization on the hydrogen absorption niobium and titanium alloy powder. The method has the advantages that output power, the powder feeding rate and the airflow rate are optimized in spheroidization procedures, accordingly, hollow powder can be prevented, and the fine powder yield can be increased; the spherical powder obtained by the method is excellent in dispersibility and flowability and uniform in particle size; the niobium and titanium-based alloy powder finally manufactured by the method is small in particle size, uniform in composition, good in flowability, high in spheroidization rate and low in oxygen content and is applicable to the technical field of injection molding, quick molding and thermal spraying.
