The invention belongs to the field of
powder metallurgy, and relates to high-strength wear-resistant
copper alloy powder for
powder metallurgy and a preparation method thereof.The method comprises the following steps that electrolytic
copper, a
copper-aluminum intermediate
alloy, a copper-iron intermediate
alloy and a copper-
titanium intermediate alloy are weighed, cast and homogenized according to the set
mass fraction; the cast
ingot is remelted to obtain alloy liquid, the alloy liquid is guided through a
tundish, high-pressure
water jet is adopted for atomizing the alloy liquid, and water atomized powder is obtained; heating the mixed
molten salt to 20-100 DEG C higher than the
melting point, and adding water atomized powder after the melt is clarified; the melt is heated to 100-300 DEG C higher than the
melting point, and heat preservation stirring is carried out; finally, the temperature of the melt is reduced to be 20-100 DEG C higher than the
melting point,
molten salt on the upper portion is removed, a high-concentration copper powder and
molten salt mixture is left,
casting and cooling are conducted, and a
solid matter is obtained; mechanically crushing the
solid matter, transferring the crushed
solid matter into a ball milling tank, and carrying out ball milling by taking water as a medium; and after solid-liquid separation and centrifugal spin-
drying are conducted on the mixture obtained after ball milling, the high-strength wear-resisting
copper alloy powder is obtained through low-temperature
drying.
