The invention belongs to the technical field of
metal powder preparation, particularly relates to a high-efficiency and low-energy-consumption device and method for recycling and regenerating high-temperature
alloy powder, and aims to solve the problems of
high energy consumption, low efficiency, degraded
powder performance, low cyclic
utilization rate and the like in the existing recycling technology. A
ceramic flash
sintering technology and a
metal material current-assisted
sintering device are innovatively combined, a special device with a unique current-assisted
sintering mechanism is developed, the device can efficiently and rapidly sinter large-size
metal blanks under the low-pressure condition, the sintering time is shortened by 30%-50%, the temperature is reduced by 100-200 DEG C, the
energy consumption of a unit product is reduced by 40% or above, and the production efficiency is improved. And meanwhile, by accurately controlling the
sintering atmosphere and pressure, it is ensured that the
oxygen content of circulating powder is lower than 50 ppm. According to the method, through the pressing-sintering-
hot isostatic pressing treatment process, the recycled powder can be directly returned to the powder manufacturing procedure, the cyclic
utilization rate of 95% or above can be achieved without re-
smelting, and an innovative solution is provided for sustainable utilization of the high-value
metal powder.
