[0043] The present invention also provides a method for preparing high-strength stainless steel powder for SLM, comprising the following steps:

[0044] Step 1, adopting the method of vacuum induction melting + vacuum consumable remelting to prepare master alloy;

[0045] Specifically, step 1 includes: using pure carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and aluminum to prepare a master alloy by vacuum induction melting and vacuum self-consumption remelting, the chemical composition of the master alloy is: C≤0.04% , Si≤0.05%, Mn≤0.05%, Cr: 12.5~13.5%, Ni: 7.5~8.5%, Mo: 2.0~2.5%, Al: 1.0~1.15%, P≤0.005%, S≤0.002%, O ≤0.001%, N≤0.002%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities. Then the master alloy is forged into a 30×40×500 mm alloy block, and the oxide skin and dirt on the surface of the alloy block are removed by a grinder, and then used for gas atomization powder production.
