Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing spherical metal, in particular to a method for preparing spherical metal powder under the positive pressure cooling atmosphere environment. The method comprises the following steps that (1) a plasma generator is prepared, and the plasma generator is placed above a cavity; (2) prepared to-be-nodulized powder raw materials are fed into the plasma generator, irregular to-be-nodulized powder raw materials heated by plasmas sent out from the plasma generator generate nodulizing under the effect of surface tension, and quick heat exchange with cooling gas and quick solidification after the to-be-nodulized powder raw materials enter the positive pressure environment are carried out; and (3) cooling air flow is fed into through a cooling air flow pipe, the to-be-nodulized powder raw materials are cooled and solidified under the effect of the cooling air flow to form spherical powder, and the cooled powder is collected through a container. The prepared metal powder is high in degree of sphericity, the interior is compact and fewer in defect, the mobility is good, and the method is suitable for short-period small-batch nodulizing production of multi-component alloy powder.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing spherical metal powder, more specifically, a method for preparing spherical metal powder in a positive pressure cooling atmosphere environment. Background technique [0002] Metal 3D printing technology puts forward high requirements on raw material powders, and it is generally believed that powders with high sphericity, dense and defect-free are conducive to obtaining high-quality final products. At present, there are various preparation methods of spherical metal powders: for example, patents with publication numbers EP0400659A1 and CN2855596 disclose methods and devices for powder-making by argon atomization. The atomization pulverization method has been widely used in the production of titanium alloy, nickel-based alloy and aluminum alloy powder, with high output and fine powder yield. However, the obtained powder has many satellite powders. Usually atomized powder production has a deviation between...
