Problems solved by technology

Although the preparation of various metal powders by radio frequency plasma technology has many advantages, due to the defects of the process in the prior art, the spheroidization rate of the powder is low when the powder is processed by plasma, so that the bulk density of the powder and The fluidity has not reached the optimal state, therefore, the process in the prior art has a large room for improvement

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing metal powder by plasma spheroidizing. The method comprises the following steps of 1) feeding the raw metal powder into a ball mill for grinding, and fully drying; 2) carrying out pre-pumping vacuum treatment on a smelting chamber and an atomizing chamber, and filling inert gas; 3) smelting the metal powder to form a metal melt; and 4 ) atomizing and hydrogenating the metal melt by adopting a double-layer atomizing nozzle to prepare metal powder; 5) after the metal powder is cooled, and collecting the metal powder through cyclone separation; 6) establishing a stable operation argon plasma torch, feeding the metal powder into a core-part high-temperature zone of the plasma torch, and rapidly melting the metal powder to form metal molten drops; and 7) the metal molten drops enter the powder spheroidization chamber, and condensing to form spherical metal powder. According to the method for preparing the metal powder by the plasma spheroidizing, the atomization method and the plasma method are combined, the prepared metal powder is high in loose packing density, and the powder fluidity is obviously improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an alloy powder, in particular to a magnesium alloy powder and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the popularity of metal 3D printing technology, the quality requirements for 3D printing metal powders are getting higher and higher, mainly focusing on uniform and accurate metal components, good surface quality, and narrow particle size distribution (15 μm ~ 45 μm, 70 μm ~ 120μm), low oxygen content, good fluidity, etc. 3D printed metal powder products are mainly used in education, medical and aerospace fields. Compared with the initial development stage of 3D printing technology, the technology at this stage has made great progress. [0003] Duan's domestic and foreign research focuses on the particle size distribution of 3D printing metal powder and the oxygen content of the metal. At present, the relatively mature technology is the production of 3D printing metal spherical powd...
