The invention relates to a preparation method of Ta-containing 3D printing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder for dentistry, which comprises the following process steps:
(1) Master alloy melting
Preparing materials according to the chemical components of the Ta-containing 3D printed cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder for dental department, adding the prepared raw materials into a vacuum induction smelting furnace, smelting into a Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum master alloy liquid, and casting into a Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum master alloy ingot;
(2) Atomized powder
Putting the Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum master alloy ingot obtained in the step (1) into a smelting chamber of a vacuum atomization powder making furnace to be melted into an alloy melt, then preserving the heat of the alloy melt by a tundish of the vacuum atomization powder making furnace, then enabling the alloy melt to flow out through a flow guide pipe, crushing the alloy melt flowing out of the flow guide pipe into fine liquid drops under the impact action of atomization airflow, and enabling the fine liquid drops to freely fall and condense to form Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder;
(3) Powder screening and drying treatment
And (3) screening the Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder obtained in the step (2), screening out alloy powder with a size larger than 900 meshes and smaller than 270 meshes, and performing vacuum drying to obtain the Ta-containing 3D printing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder for the dental department.
In the step (1) of the method, when the raw material is smelted in the vacuum induction smelting furnace, the vacuum degree in the furnace in the refining period is higher than 1.0 multiplied by 10-2Pa; the shape of the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum master alloy ingot containing Ta is a strip shape of 20mm multiplied by 100 mm.
In the step (2) of the method, the heat preservation temperature of the alloy melt in the tundish is 1300-1500 ℃, and the heat preservation time is at least 20 min; the atomization gas flow is high-purity nitrogen or high-purity argon (the purity is 99.999%), the pressure of the atomization gas flow is 4 MPa-6 MPa, and the high-purity nitrogen is generally used because the cost of the high-purity argon is higher than that of the high-purity nitrogen.

(2) The invention adopts the technical scheme that a small amount of Ta is added into the raw material of the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder, a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum master alloy ingot containing Ta is formed by vacuum melting and pouring, and then the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum master alloy ingot containing Ta is melted into an alloy melt to be atomized for preparing powder, because Ta element can reduce the surface activity and has poor affinity with oxygen, the purity of the prepared alloy melt is better and oxidation inclusions are less due to the addition of the Ta element, the prepared cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder is reduced, the process of shrinking and balling cannot be bonded, the sphericity is high, and tests show that the oxygen content of the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder is less than 500ppm (see each embodiment).
(3) Because the method adds the vacuum drying treatment procedure to the screened Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder with the grain diameter meeting the requirement, the prepared Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder has improved fluidity and is beneficial to powder paving in 3D printing; because the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder contains a small amount of Ta which can obviously improve the flow property of the alloy melt, the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder has better spreading property after laser rapid melting, the internal defect of a 3D printed part can be reduced, and the property of a formed part is improved.
(4) because the atomic radius of Ta is larger, the Ta has better solid solution strengthening effect, and meanwhile, the addition of a small amount of Ta does not influence the plasticity of the alloy, so that the object formed by 3D printing of the Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties (shown in each embodiment), and the strength, hardness and elongation of the object can meet the requirements of dental restoration parts.
(5) Because a small amount of Ta is added into the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder, a formed part prepared by 3D printing of the alloy powder has good thermal stability, porcelain is favorably embedded outside, and a high-quality dental restoration part is obtained.
(6) Because the atomization powder preparation process adopted by the method of the invention and the screening treatment of the Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder obtained by atomization powder preparation, the prepared Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder has fine particles (the average particle size is less than 30 mu m), narrow particle size distribution and qualified powder yield of more than 40 percent.
(7) the method of the invention presses the screened powder with a size less than 900 meshes and larger than 270 meshes into a cake-shaped spindle by a powder pressing machine to be used as part of atomized powder, and the cake-shaped spindle and the Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum master alloy ingot are melted into a metal melt to be atomized into powder, so that the cost of the Ta-containing cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy powder can be reduced.
