Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the titanium alloy currently used in the field of additive manufacturing still has the following problems: first, the oxygen content in the titanium alloy powder cannot meet the requirements, and a higher oxygen content will affect the forming process and reduce the quality of the titanium alloy formed parts. Quality; Second, there is a lack of material standardization and serialization specifications. Additive manufacturing has high requirements on the particle size distributi

Abstract

The invention discloses a technique for preparing special Ti6Al4V alloy powder used for material increase manufacturing. The technique organically combines vacuumized and water-cooled copper crucible induction smelting with multistage ultrasonic atomization on the basis of ensuring the purity of raw materials, ensures that titanium alloy is not oxidized and metal melt is uniform in temperature and ingredient during smelting to obtain consistent degree of superheat, and can prevent nozzle blockage as well as prevent that liquid drops adhere in the cooling process to from nonspherical particles; powder particles are relatively thinner and uniform and can reach high standards of requirements on particle size distribution, apparent density, oxygen content, liquidity and other performances.

Description
