Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of spherical titanium-based alloy powder, in particular to a method for preparing fine low-oxygen spherical Ti-based high-entropy alloy powder. Background Art
[0002] High entropy alloy is a new type of alloy composed of five or more main components, mixed in equal atomic ratio or approximately equal atomic ratio, with the characteristics of high strength, high hardness, good thermal stability, excellent corrosion resistance, etc. Adding Ti element (atomic ratio of 5-35%) to high entropy alloy to form titanium-based high entropy alloy can effectively reduce the density of the alloy and improve the hardness and strength of the alloy, which is of great significance for the development of high-temperature structural materials for a new generation of high thrust-to-weight ratio and high power-to-weight ratio aircraft engines. In recent years, with the continuous development of large aircraft, aero engines, and new generation launch vehicles, aerospace parts tend to be integrated and complex, and their preparation methods have also been gradually replaced by traditional casting, forging combined with machining to powder near-net forming technologies such as injection molding and additive manufacturing.
[0003] For injection molding (powder 0~25μm) and additive manufacturing (powder 15~53μm), the performance of the finished product depends largely on the powder raw material. Generally speaking, the powder raw material for manufacturing high-performance finished products should have high sphericity, fluidity, purity, low hollow rate and fine powder particle size. Due to the room temperature brittleness of titanium-based high-entropy alloys, there are still technical bottlenecks in the preparation of titanium-based high-entropy alloy wires. Due to the presence of active elements such as Ti, it is easy to react with other substances at high temperatures. Therefore, the preparation of spherical titanium-based high-entropy alloy powders mainly uses rods as raw materials and adopts non-contact melting, such as plasma rotating electrode (PREP) method, electrode induction melting gas atomization (EIGA) method, etc.
[0004] Among them, the PREP method is to prepare titanium-based high-entropy alloy into a rod-type consumable electrode. One end of the consumable electrode melts into droplets under the action of plasma heating, and then is thrown out under the action of high-speed rotating centrifugal force to form fine droplets. The small droplets are quickly cooled and solidified into spherical powders under the action of surface tension. However, titanium-based high-entropy alloys have poor plasticity, so it is very easy for the rods to crack during the powder making process. In addition, the rotation speed of the titanium-based high-entropy alloy rod in this technology is lower than 20,000 r / min, which makes the centrifugal force of the molten droplet dispersion atomization smaller, and the viscosity of the molten droplet is larger, so the spherical powder obtained is coarse in particle size, with a powder particle size of 40-400μm.
[0005] The EIGA method uses titanium-based high-entropy alloy rods as raw materials, and uses high-frequency induction current to melt the surface of the rods and form a molten liquid flow that falls into the atomizing nozzle. Under the action of high-speed airflow, dispersed molten droplets are formed and quickly cooled and solidified into fine particles. Compared with the PREP method, the powder particle size produced by the EIGA method is finer, but the fine powder yield that meets the requirements of injection molding and additive manufacturing is low, less than 40%. In addition, the titanium-based high-entropy alloy droplets after induction melting will leave the high-temperature zone too quickly, resulting in insufficient temperature and time during the gas atomization condensation process to ensure that the droplets shrink into balls under the action of surface tension. The sphericity of the powder produced is low, and hollow balls are easily produced.
[0006] Chinese patent CN117758123A discloses a single-phase TiZrMo-based spherical refractory high-entropy alloy powder and a preparation method thereof, which requires first crushing and screening to obtain single-element powders of each element, then mixing them in proportion, and then wet grinding + high-energy ball milling + drying and grinding, and finally spheroidization treatment to obtain spherical refractory high-entropy alloy powder; wherein the wet grinding + high-energy ball milling will mix in impurity elements, and the grinding time is long, the cost is high, and the efficiency is low.
[0007] Chinese patent CN113579246A discloses a method for preparing nano high entropy alloy powder, which comprises dissolving five or more transition metal salt precursors in the same solvent, ultrasonically dispersing to obtain a blended solution, then adding a strong alkali solution for co-precipitation, followed by aging, separation, water washing, alcohol washing, drying, and finally calcining and reducing. Obviously, the solution chemical reaction time of this method is relatively long. Although nano powder can be obtained, in order to remove impurities in the nano powder and allow the reduction to proceed fully, the cost required is relatively high and the process is relatively long.
[0008] Chinese patent CN118256762A discloses a Cu micro-alloyed low-oxygen NbMoTaW ultrafine-grained high-entropy alloy and a preparation method thereof, wherein micron-sized Nb powder, Mo powder, Ta powder, W powder and Cu powder are used as raw materials, and mechanical alloying is performed under argon conditions to obtain Cu micro-alloyed NbMoTaW high-entropy alloy powder; obviously, the high-entropy alloy component selection is not a titanium-based high-entropy alloy, and the preparation method adopted is mechanical alloying, the mixing uniformity is poor, impurities are easily doped, and the time consumption is long; and the powder needs to be scraped every 6 hours during the ball milling process to avoid cold welding.
[0009] In addition to the above problems, the PREP and EIGA methods also have limitations in the preparation of titanium-based high-entropy alloy spherical powders, such as complex raw material bar preparation, slow melting rate, low powder yield, and electrode pollution. Therefore, it is urgent to invent a method for preparing high-quality and high-yield fine titanium-based high-entropy alloy spherical powders to meet the high-performance complex shape near-net forming requirements of existing titanium-based high-entropy alloys. Summary of the invention
[0010] In order to solve the problem that Ti-based high entropy alloys for injection molding and additive manufacturing in the prior art have poor room temperature plasticity and are difficult to be drawn, most of the current powder making technologies can only use titanium-based high entropy alloy rods as raw materials. However, due to the lack of a crucible for holding titanium liquid, the existing powder making technology has a low superheat of the titanium-based high entropy alloy liquid, resulting in high viscosity of the titanium-based high entropy alloy droplets, which in turn leads to poor atomization or rotational dispersion effects. The powder particle size after cooling is relatively coarse, and the fine powder yield rate suitable for injection molding, additive manufacturing, etc. does not exceed 40%. In addition, the prepared powder also has problems such as low sphericity, wide particle size distribution, high impurity content, and hollow powder. At the same time, the complex preparation of raw material rods and the slow melting rate of rods also lead to low powder yield and high production costs. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing a fine low-oxygen spherical Ti-based high-entropy alloy powder with a small particle size (0-60 μm), a smooth surface, high sphericity, good fluidity, no hollow powder, low impurity content (oxygen content ≤ 1000 ppm), and high production efficiency.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0030] The above scheme, the present invention proposes a method for preparing fine low-oxygen spherical Ti-based high-entropy alloy powder, which can solve the problems of the existing powder making technology using titanium-based high-entropy alloy rods as raw materials, without a crucible for holding titanium liquid, resulting in large droplet viscosity and coarse powder particle size during the preparation process, as well as other quality problems such as poor sphericity of the prepared powder, wide particle size distribution, high impurity content, hollow powder, etc.; at the same time, it also solves the problem of low preparation efficiency caused by complex raw material rod preparation and slow rod melting rate in the existing powder making technology.
[0031] The present invention is not limited to the preparation of spherical Ti-based high entropy alloy powders, the preparation of spherical titanium-based high entropy alloy powders, and is also applicable to the preparation of other spherical high entropy alloy powders, and has no special restrictions on the raw material grades and components, and can be freely adjusted according to the target composition, with a wide range of raw materials, high design flexibility, and strong industrial applicability. Injection molding and additive manufacturing can prepare a large number of complex shapes with different components containing titanium alloys, which is conducive to industrial large-scale production and commercial promotion and application.
[0032] The present invention utilizes the good room temperature plasticity of a single metal wire, adopts a single metal wire of the alloy to be compounded, and forms a tight spiral structure with two or more of the aforementioned single metal wires through a twisting method. Combined with a multi-pass continuous warm drawing process, the pre-alloying of the single metal alloy to be compounded can be achieved at a relatively low temperature, breaking the technical bottleneck of the raw materials limited by the titanium-based high-entropy alloy powder making technology. Compared with the titanium-based high-entropy alloy rods used in the existing powder preparation method, the invention is convenient to operate and low in cost, and can be applied to alloy injection molding and additive manufacturing of complex shapes with different performance requirements; in particular, thinner wire raw materials are easier to melt during the powder making process, the formed molten droplets have low viscosity, the atomization and dispersion effect is good, and the powder obtained has a fine particle size.
[0033] The present invention combines high-frequency induction heating with radio frequency plasma to achieve segmented continuous heating of titanium-based high-entropy alloy wire. Compared with single induction heating or plasma heating, the present invention can effectively accelerate the melting rate of raw materials, reduce the viscosity of molten droplets, and increase the wire feeding speed and powder yield. The high-temperature plasma can ensure that the molten droplets have high superheat and low viscosity, and use high-pressure gas atomization to atomize low-viscosity titanium-based high-entropy alloy droplets into fine droplets, which are condensed and spheroidized under the action of surface tension. The obtained spherical Ti-based high-entropy alloy powder has fine particle size, good sphericity, high spheroidization rate, no hollow powder, and high yield.
[0034] The present invention uses specially prepared titanium-based high-entropy alloy wire with uniform component distribution as raw material, replacing the traditional radio frequency plasma with powder as raw material. This replacement can effectively reduce the oxidation of the raw material and the adsorption of impurities, and reduce the oxygen content and impurity content of the powder product, thereby obtaining low-oxygen and high-purity spherical Ti-based high-entropy alloy powder with uniform component distribution.
[0035] The entire powder making process of the present invention is carried out under the protection of inert gas, the oxygen content of the entire gas system is ≤20ppm, and the radio frequency plasma equipment used does not have electrode pollution, ensuring that the prepared spherical Ti-based high entropy alloy powder is pollution-free and free of inclusions.
[0036] The invention further disperses the molten droplets after radio frequency plasma atomization by the high-pressure airflow of the atomizing nozzle, thereby avoiding the generation of coarse particle ball powder, ensuring that the fine powder recovery rate of the spherical Ti-based high entropy alloy powder is high, the sphericity is high, the particle size distribution is narrow, and the generation of a large number of hollow balls is avoided.
[0037] The fine low-oxygen spherical titanium-based high-entropy alloy powder prepared by the present invention has a small particle size (0-60 μm), a smooth surface, a high sphericity, good fluidity, no hollow powder, a low impurity content (oxygen content ≤ 1000 ppm), and a high production efficiency. It can effectively improve the performance of titanium-based high-entropy alloy finished products by injection molding and additive manufacturing while reducing the raw material cost.
[0038] In summary, compared with other traditional methods, the method of the present invention can directly prepare Ti-based high-entropy alloy wires with uniform composition distribution at a lower temperature through multiple wire twisting, multiple continuous hot drawing, diffusion homogenization annealing, high-frequency induction preheating, radio frequency plasma melting and atomization powder making, and then prepare Ti-based high-entropy alloy fine powder with low oxygen content and uniform composition distribution. It is suitable for injection molding and additive manufacturing, has high flexibility, simple operation, wide applicability, low cost, and is very suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0153] The above scheme, the present invention proposes a method for preparing fine low-oxygen spherical Ti-based high-entropy alloy powder, which can solve the problems of the existing powder making technology using titanium-based high-entropy alloy rods as raw materials, without a crucible for holding titanium liquid, resulting in large droplet viscosity and coarse powder particle size during the preparation process, as well as other quality problems such as poor sphericity of the prepared powder, wide particle size distribution, high impurity content, hollow powder, etc.; at the same time, it also solves the problem of low preparation efficiency caused by complex raw material rod preparation and slow rod melting rate in the existing powder making technology.
[0154] The present invention is not limited to the preparation of spherical Ti-based high entropy alloy powders, the preparation of spherical titanium-based high entropy alloy powders, and is also applicable to the preparation of other spherical high entropy alloy powders, and has no special restrictions on the raw material grades and components, and can be freely adjusted according to the target composition, with a wide range of raw materials, high design flexibility, and strong industrial applicability. Injection molding and additive manufacturing can prepare a large number of complex shapes with different components containing titanium alloys, which is conducive to industrial large-scale production and commercial promotion and application.
[0155] The present invention utilizes the good room temperature plasticity of a single metal wire, adopts a single metal wire of the alloy to be compounded, and forms a tight spiral structure with two or more of the aforementioned single metal wires through a twisting method. Combined with a multi-pass continuous warm drawing process, the pre-alloying of the single metal alloy to be compounded can be achieved at a relatively low temperature, breaking the technical bottleneck of the raw materials limited by the titanium-based high-entropy alloy powder making technology. Compared with the titanium-based high-entropy alloy rods used in the existing powder preparation method, the invention is convenient to operate and low in cost, and can be applied to alloy injection molding and additive manufacturing of complex shapes with different performance requirements; in particular, thinner wire raw materials are easier to melt during the powder making process, the formed molten droplets have low viscosity, the atomization and dispersion effect is good, and the powder obtained has a fine particle size.
[0156] The present invention combines high-frequency induction heating with radio frequency plasma to achieve segmented continuous heating of titanium-based high-entropy alloy wire. Compared with single induction heating or plasma heating, the present invention can effectively accelerate the melting rate of raw materials, reduce the viscosity of molten droplets, and increase the wire feeding speed and powder yield. The high-temperature plasma can ensure that the molten droplets have high superheat and low viscosity, and use high-pressure gas atomization to atomize low-viscosity titanium-based high-entropy alloy droplets into fine droplets, which are condensed and spheroidized under the action of surface tension. The obtained spherical Ti-based high-entropy alloy powder has fine particle size, good sphericity, high spheroidization rate, no hollow powder, and high yield.
[0157] The present invention uses specially prepared titanium-based high-entropy alloy wire with uniform component distribution as raw material, replacing the traditional radio frequency plasma with powder as raw material. This replacement can effectively reduce the oxidation of the raw material and the adsorption of impurities, and reduce the oxygen content and impurity content of the powder product, thereby obtaining low-oxygen and high-purity spherical Ti-based high-entropy alloy powder with uniform component distribution.
[0158] The entire powder making process of the present invention is carried out under the protection of inert gas, the oxygen content of the entire gas system is ≤20ppm, and the radio frequency plasma equipment used does not have electrode pollution, ensuring that the prepared spherical Ti-based high entropy alloy powder is pollution-free and free of inclusions.
[0159] The invention further disperses the molten droplets after radio frequency plasma atomization by the high-pressure airflow of the atomizing nozzle, thereby avoiding the generation of coarse particle ball powder, ensuring that the fine powder recovery rate of the spherical Ti-based high entropy alloy powder is high, the sphericity is high, the particle size distribution is narrow, and the generation of a large number of hollow balls is avoided.
[0160] The fine low-oxygen spherical titanium-based high-entropy alloy powder prepared by the present invention has a small particle size (0-60 μm), a smooth surface, a high sphericity, good fluidity, no hollow powder, a low impurity content (oxygen content ≤ 1000 ppm), and a high production efficiency. It can effectively improve the performance of titanium-based high-entropy alloy finished products by injection molding and additive manufacturing while reducing the raw material cost.
[0161] In summary, compared with other traditional methods, the method of the present invention can directly prepare Ti-based high-entropy alloy wires with uniform composition distribution at a lower temperature through multiple wire twisting, multiple continuous hot drawing, diffusion homogenization annealing, high-frequency induction preheating, radio frequency plasma melting and atomization powder making, and then prepare Ti-based high-entropy alloy fine powder with low oxygen content and uniform composition distribution. It is suitable for injection molding and additive manufacturing, has high flexibility, simple operation, wide applicability, low cost, and is very suitable for large-scale industrial production.
