Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing titanium based spherical powder with reduced particle size through gas atomization. The method comprises steps as follows: step one, a titanium based raw material and a tin material are placed in a smelting crucible, and the smelting crucible is put in a smelting chamber of a vacuum induction melting gas atomization equipment for vacuum induction melting; step two, after the titanium based raw material and the tin material are melted through vacuum induction melting, argon is introduced for protection, a graphite diversion pipe located at the bottom of the smelting crucible is heated, a melted liquid produced after melting of the titanium based raw material and the tin material freely falls into an atomization chamber through the graphite diversion pipe and subjected to vacuum induction melting gas atomization treatment, atomized powder is obtained, and titanium based spherical powder is obtained from a collecting tank. According to the method, tin is introduced into the titanium raw material or a titanium alloy raw material for reducing viscosity of the melted liquid obtained after smelting, so that the raw materials are easy to break during gas atomization, the particle size of the prepared powder becomes small, wherein the yield of the powder with the particle size smaller than 45 mu m in the titanium based spherical powder is not lower than 28%, pores in the powder are reduced, and the amount of hollow powder is reduced.
