Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of nickel-based high-temperature alloy powder for 3D (Three Dimensional) printing. According to the method, high-performance nickel-based high-temperature alloy powder, which meets the requirement of 3D printing, is obtained through vacuum smelting, degassing, refining, atomization and sieving technologies of nickel-based high-temperature alloy. The problem of difficulty in preparation of the low-cost high-performance nickel-based high-temperature alloy powder for the 3D printing process is solved. The method has the characteristics of simplicity, effectiveness and low cost, the oxygen content of the gas atomized nickel-based high-temperature alloy powder can be obviously reduced, and the sphericity and the fine powder yield of the powder are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing nickel-based superalloy powder for 3D printing, which belongs to the technical field of powder metallurgy. Background technique [0002] 3D printing (additive manufacturing) technology has become one of the most concerned emerging technologies in the world. Its special materials, especially the powder industry for 3D printing of high-performance nickel-based superalloy components used in aerospace, have a good development prospect. [0003] The 3D printing technology of high-performance nickel-based superalloy components started in the early 1990s. The process is relatively difficult. High-power energy beams such as lasers or electron beams are mainly used as heat sources to melt the powder materials in selected areas, and form strict after cooling and crystallization. Build-up layers manufactured to design, where the build-up layers are continuously molded to form the final product. So far, 3D printing ...
