Abstract

The invention discloses spherical TC4 titanium alloy powder used for laser 3D printing and a preparation method thereof. Titanium alloy powder particles are in a sphere shape, the grain size is 1-180 [mu]m, the oxygen content is 0.09%-0.14%, the apparent density is 2.587-2.656 g / cm<3>, and the liquidity of the powder with the grain size being 54-150 [mu]m is 20.0-30.0 s / 50g. The powder with the grain size being 1-54 [mu]m can be used for powder laying method laser 3D printing, and the powder with the grain size being 54-150 [mu]m can be used for powder feeding laser 3D printing. According to the preparation method, an electrode titanium bar of which one end is a conical tip is made from titanium alloy and is placed in a induction melting chamber to rotate, induction melting is started at the same time, and when liquid drops are formed by the tip, the titanium bar rotates and perpendicularly moves downwards; the alloy liquid drops are atomized into the powder in an atomizing chamber through inert gases by regulating and controlling the atomizing air pressure and induction parameters; and then collection is conducted through a powder collection device, and the powder with different grain sizes is screened and preserved in a vacuum mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of highly active metal powder for laser 3D printing, and in particular relates to a spherical TC4 titanium alloy powder for laser 3D printing and a preparation method thereof. technical background [0002] Laser 3D printing technology is an advanced technology that has gradually developed since the early 1980s. This technology can be used for the rapid prototyping of three-dimensional (3D) solid metal parts that bear strong mechanical loads, and can also be applied to the repair of parts with complex shapes and large volumes, manufacturing defects, misprocessing damage, or service damage. Therefore, it has been a frontier research topic at home and abroad since its appearance. So far, the domestic and foreign output value of laser 3D printing related industries has reached billions of dollars, especially with the rapid development of research on large-scale high-power laser devices, 3D digita...
