Embodiment 1

[0025] Process the titanium-nickel alloy into an electrode rod with a diameter of 50mm and a length of 600mm and install it on the feeding device, vacuumize the entire atomization device and fill it with argon protective gas; the electrode rod rotates at a speed of 140r / min and 80mm / min The falling speed of the rod enters the lower conical coil, and the tip of the bar is gradually melted by induction heating in the conical coil to form a melt flow. Under the action of gravity, the melt flow directly flows into the atomizer below the conical coil, and the high-pressure argon The gas enters the annular slit atomizer through the gas pipeline, and interacts with the metal liquid flow under the gas outlet. The liquid flow is broken into small droplets by the action of high-pressure gas, and the atomizing gas pressure is 3.5MPa. During the flight in the atomization chamber, the liquid droplets are spheroidized and solidified into metal powder by their own surface tension.

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of spherical titanium and nickel shape memory alloy for 3D (three-dimensional) printing, and belongs to the technical field of 3D printing. The method includes the steps: taking titanium and nickel alloy bars as induction electrodes under the vacuum states or the protection states of inert gas, and rotating downwards electrode bars to enter conical coils; gradually melting top ends of the bars in the conical coils under the action of induction heating in the moving process to form molten drop or molten fluid flow, enabling the molten drop or the molten fluid flow to directly flow into an atomizer below the conical coils under the action of gravity; crushing the molten drop or the molten fluid flow into small droplets under the action of high-pressure gas, and balling and coagulating the small droplets into metal powder through surface tension of the small droplets in the flight process of the small droplets. The preparation method has the advantages that power is high in sphericity degree, components are uniform and nonmetal inclusion is low in content.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a method for preparing spherical titanium-nickel shape memory alloy powder for 3D printing. Background technique [0002] Titanium-nickel shape memory alloy has become a new type of functional material that has attracted much attention due to its specific shape memory effect, superelasticity, high damping, high corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility. However, the high melting point, high activity and poor machinability of titanium-nickel alloys seriously restrict the performance improvement and application of the alloy. [0003] 3D printing, as a computer-aided precision manufacturing technology, realizes near-net shape from metal powder raw materials to complex structures through computational simulation and continuous stacking. The emergence of this technology has opened up a new way for the preparation of titanium-nickel memory alloy structural parts with co...
