Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of alloy powder preparation, and in particular to high-fluidity titanium alloy powder and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Titanium and titanium alloys are very suitable materials for aviation and aerospace because their specific gravity is only about 4.5, which is almost 1 / 2 of the commonly used steel alloys with a specific gravity of more than 7.8. Furthermore, titanium and titanium alloys are strong, and their strength to weight ratio far exceeds that of lightweight aluminum and aluminum alloys, especially in terms of temperature resistance and acid and alkali resistance. However, low-oxygen titanium powder requires strict control of the powder during preparation and storage, so that the low-oxygen titanium powder is always in an inert gas or vacuum atmosphere to avoid powder passivation. This greatly increases the cost of using and storing low-oxygen titanium powder. At the same time, the powder produced by this method has a high surface activity and will passivate rapidly after exposure to air, forming a dense passivation film, and adsorbing a large amount of gas impurities, which deteriorates the powder performance and spherical powder fluidity.

[0003] At the same time, titanium alloy is a highly active alloy. To obtain high-purity titanium alloy powder with low impurity content, it is necessary to ensure that the environment is always in a high-purity inert gas protection or high vacuum environment during the preparation process to avoid contamination of the titanium alloy. The titanium alloy powder produced by atomization has a high surface activity, especially when the prepared powder has a particle size of less than 100 microns. The powder is fluffy and agglomerated, and has poor fluidity, which makes subsequent screening of the powder very difficult. On the other hand, fine titanium alloy powder is highly active. When it is quickly exposed to air, the surface oxidizes rapidly and releases a large amount of heat, which poses a great safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, in the preparation process of titanium alloy powder, it is particularly important to passivate the surface of the titanium alloy powder without affecting the chemical composition of the titanium alloy powder itself, so as to reduce the surface tension, reduce surface impurities, and increase stability and fluidity.

[0005] Therefore, according to the above-mentioned related technologies, it is urgent to develop a high-fluidity titanium alloy powder and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the Invention
