Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of iron-silicon-aluminum powder production technology, and in particular to an iron-silicon-aluminum powder production gas atomization device. Background Technology
[0002] Iron-silicon-aluminum powder is a soft magnetic material powder, mainly composed of iron (Fe), silicon (Si), and aluminum (Al). Its standard composition typically includes approximately 5.4% aluminum, 9.6% silicon, and the remainder iron. When used in iron-silicon-aluminum magnetic powder cores, the alloy composition is generally controlled within the range of 5.2%-5.6% aluminum, 9.2%-9.8% silicon, and the remainder iron. This combination of elements gives the material excellent soft magnetic properties. The production of iron-silicon-aluminum powder involves three steps: melting, casting, and atomization. The metal materials are added to a melting furnace according to a specific ratio for melting. The molten alloy liquid is then cast. Simultaneously, nitrogen gas is blown onto the molten metal to atomize it. The atomized and cooled metal particles are the iron-silicon-aluminum powder. However, in existing atomization devices, the relationship between the amount of molten metal poured and the nitrogen blowing pressure is difficult to adjust during production, easily leading to uneven production of the iron-silicon-aluminum powder, thus affecting product quality.

The smelting furnace 3 is a high-frequency smelting furnace. The feed hopper 2 is located at the top of the housing 1, and the base 14 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1. The two sides of the smelting furnace 3 are installed inside the housing 1 via rotating shafts 4. A connecting block 5 is provided on one side of the bottom of the smelting furnace 3. The connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to one end of a pull rope 6, and the other end of the pull rope 6 is wound around a winding shaft 7. One end of the winding shaft 7 is connected to the housing 1. The external wound motor 15 is connected to the furnace. The casting hopper 8 is installed below the smelting furnace 3. The casting trough 9 is installed below the casting hopper 8. Two atomizing nozzles 10 are installed on both sides below the casting end of the casting trough 9, and the atomizing nozzles 10 are set at an angle. The two atomizing nozzles 10 are connected to one end of the gas pipe 16. The other end of the gas pipe 16 is connected to the gas tank 17. The gas tank 17 contains high-pressure nitrogen. A valve 18 is installed on the gas pipe 16. The powder collection box 11 is installed below the atomizing nozzles 10. The amount of gas sprayed by the atomizing nozzles 10 is controlled by adjusting the opening degree of the valve 18.
[0018] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pouring end of the pouring tank 9 is provided with a flow guide nozzle 19. The flow guide nozzle 19 has a triangular structure and guides the molten metal to flow between the two atomizing nozzles 10.
[0019] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, a pouring nozzle 20 is installed at the bottom of the pouring hopper 8. The upper end of the pouring nozzle 20 is provided with a shoulder 21.
