Method and device for preparing uniform-particle-diameter metal powder through quantitative centrifugal atomization method

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for preparing uniform-particle-diameter metal powder through a quantitative centrifugal atomization method. According to the method, a perforated crucibleis driven by a motor to rotate, and then a molten metal liquid in the crucible is jetted from tiny holes in the crucible under the action of centrifugal force; after being jetted from the tiny holes,the metal liquid is atomized into metal liquid drops under the action of centrifugal force; under the action of gravity and surface tension, spherical metal liquid drops are formed; and during the falling process, uniform-particle-diameter metal spheres are formed. The method is matched with different crucible tiny-hole diameters and crucible rotation speeds, so that metal powder of different types can be prepared; the particle diameters are controllable; and the metal powder prepared according to the method has the characteristics being controllable in particle diameter, high in sphericity and uniform in particle size.

Problems solved by technology

Among them, the remelting method is to make metal raw materials into filaments and cut them into uniform small pieces, and then immerse them in hot oil at an appropriate temperature to melt and solidify them into spherical particles. This method is simple in principle, but requires high manufacturing progress, and for small Materials with poor particle size or plasticity are difficult to process, and the production efficiency is low; the uniform droplet injection method is to melt the metal raw material, and extrude the liquid metal from the bottom of the crucible with holes through vibration extrusion to form a liquid pellet, thereby solidifying into Spherical metal powder, the spherical powder prepared by this method has uniform size and good quality, but the preparation process must adopt the method of vibration extrusion, which will have a certain impact on the stability of the liquid raw material in the crucible, especially as the liquid raw material decreases, its stability The performance will become worse and worse, and the preparation efficiency of this method is low, which is not suitable for industrial mass production; the atomization method is mainly divided into gas atomization
