Abstract

The invention relates to a device and method for continuously manufacturing metal powder through multi-electrode plasma arcs. The device and method are characterized in that raw material rods enter a plasma arc generator electrode inner cavity of a heating area through a feeding opening in a feeding device; three electrodes of the plasma arcs are used for evaporating the metal raw material rods into fogging plasma bodies, namely, rods, wires or ceramic rods with the same powder materials are manufactured, wherein the raw material rods are located in the center, and the arcs are located on the periphery; and inert gas flow is used for blowing fogging metal fog into a collecting device, and the fogging metal fog is rapidly cooled and solidifies into powder along with rapid reduction of the temperature and the air pressure. Convenience is brought to mechanized production, and the powder manufacturing cost is greatly reduced. Through adjustment of parameters such as the plasma arc output heat and the protection gas pressure, the powder granularity can range from 0.1 micrometer to 100 micrometers. One-time molding of powder manufacturing is achieved.
