Problems solved by technology

[0006] At present, the research on 3D printing technology at home and abroad is concentrated on the forming process, but there are few studies on the characteristic analysis and preparation process of metal powders for 3D printing, especially Hastelloy X alloy powder, which is the most widely used in the aerospace field. Basically rely on foreign imports, and there is no domestic enterprise capable of large-scale production of Hastelloy X alloy powder for 3D printing. The material problem has become one of the problems restricting the development of 3D printing technology in my country.

[0028] A preparation method of Hastelloy X alloy powder for 3D printing technology, comprising the following steps:

[0029] (1) Bar processing: according to the composition of Hastelloy X, Fe: 17% to 20%, Cr: 20.5% to 23%, Co: 0.5% to 2.5%, Mo: 8% to 10%, W: 0.2% to 1%, C: 0.05% ~ 0.15%, Si≤1%, Mn≤1%, P≤0.04%, S≤0.03%, melting to produce Hastelloy X alloy rods, and then processing the rods, according to the intermediate frequency induction The size of the coil determines the processing diameter of the Hastelloy X alloy bar. It is made into a bar with a diameter of 35-50mm, a length of 500-550mm, a V-shaped notch at one end, and a cone angle of 50°-80° at the other end. Hastelloy X alloy bar The structure after processing is as figure 1 shown;

[0030] (2) Smelting and atomizing: equipment for smelting and atomizing pulverization, such as figure 2 As shown, it includes a feeding mechanism 1 arranged up and down, a melting chamber 6 and an atomizing tower 4. The continuous ...
