Detailed Description
Hereinafter, the metallic beryllium powder for 3D printing according to the present invention, the preparation method thereof, and the application thereof will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and exemplary embodiments.
The invention provides a preparation method of metal beryllium powder for 3D printing.
The consumable electrode can be prepared from metal beryllium, under the protection of inert gas, the metal beryllium powder with chemical components and powder physical properties meeting the 3D printing requirements is prepared by melting through a plasma transfer arc and rotating, centrifuging and atomizing the electrode.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method for preparing metallic beryllium powder for 3D printing may include the steps of:
putting a metallic beryllium rod into a plasma arc for melting, rotating and atomizingIn the apparatus, vacuum was drawn and the degree of vacuum in the apparatus (i.e., the degree of vacuum in the vacuum chamber) was controlled to 5X 10-3Pa or less, and further, may be 3X 10-3Pa~5×10-3Pa. Too high vacuum degree in the extraction device prolongs the production preparation time of equipment and reduces the working efficiency, and too low vacuum degree in the extraction device needs to be filled with more inert gas to replace and remove oxygen, which is not economical.
Then introducing mixed inert gas into the device to ensure that the oxygen content in the atomizing cavity (namely the vacuum cavity) is below 3ppm, and starting a plasma arc under the protection of the inert gas to melt the front end of the metallic beryllium rod to form a liquid film. The oxygen content in the atomization chamber influences the oxygen content of the product, so that the oxygen content in the atomization chamber needs to be controlled to be less than or equal to 3ppm, such as 2 +/-0.5 ppm.
And controlling the rotating speed of the metal beryllium rod and feeding simultaneously, starting an electric arc when the distance between the metal beryllium rod and the plasma gun reaches 35-80 mm, and crushing a liquid film melted at the front end of the beryllium raw material rod into fine particles under the action of centrifugal force.
The cooling speed of the beryllium liquid crushed into fine particles is controlled by adjusting the volume proportion of each gas in the mixed inert gas, and the beryllium powder is spheroidized under the action of surface tension to obtain the spherical beryllium powder for 3D printing.
In this embodiment, the diameter of the raw material metal beryllium rod may be 80 ± 20mm, such as 74 mm, 90mm, etc., and the length may be 350 to 700mm, such as 500 ± 50 mm.
The beryllium content of the metal beryllium rod can be more than 98.2 percent (mass fraction), and the relative density can be more than 97 percent.
In this embodiment, before placing the metallic beryllium rod in the plasma arc melting rotary atomizing device, the method may further include the steps of: and (3) processing the metal beryllium bar according to the requirement of a rotary atomizing device.
In this embodiment, the flow rate of the inert gas introduced into the apparatus may be 80 to 900L/min, such as 500 + -200L/min, and the pressure thereof may be 0.4 to 0.6MPa, such as 0.5 + -0.05 MPa.
The introduced inert gas can be a mixed gas of high-purity argon and helium, wherein the volume of the helium accounts for 10-90%, for example, the volume of the helium can be 50% +/-20%. The most available inert gases in the market are nitrogen, argon and helium, other inert gases are relatively difficult to obtain, nitrogen is not suitable for the processing material of the invention, and the gas mixture consisting of argon and helium with large hot melting difference is selected and can be used for adjusting the cooling speed in the process.
The total flow of argon and helium is 80-900L/min, such as 200, 500, 700L/min and the like, and the pressure is 0.4-0.6 MPa, such as 0.5, 0.55MPa and the like.
Preferably, the purity of helium and argon can be more than 99.995%; more preferably, the purity of helium and argon can be more than 99.999%.
In this embodiment, the rotating speed of the metallic beryllium rod may be 12000-26000 rpm, for example 15000, 20000, 25000rpm, and the like.
In the embodiment, the flying liquid film can be melted by continuously feeding the bar stock, and the feeding speed (also called as the feeding speed) can be continuously adjusted within the range of 0-200 mm/min, so that the metallic beryllium powder with different particle size requirements for 3D printing can be continuously obtained, for example, 50 mm/min, 110 mm/min and 170 mm/min.
In this embodiment, at the beginning of the preparation, a 350-700 mm long metallic beryllium rod can be completely placed in the vacuum chamber of the device, the metallic beryllium rod is fed while rotating, and when the distance reaches the requirement of 35-80 mm of the arc length, the arc is opened.
One end of the metal beryllium rod can be connected with a feeding system, and the other end of the metal beryllium rod can be connected with the anode of the plasma gun through an electric arc.
By adopting the preparation method of the metal beryllium powder, the metal beryllium powder which can meet the 3D printing requirement can be prepared in batch.

In the process of metal powder, due to different properties and melting points of metals, the viscosity of the metal liquid is also different, and the thickness of a liquid film layer on the melting end face of the beryllium raw material rod is determined by the energy density of the melting arc, so that the smooth proceeding of the powder granularity and the atomization process is influenced. The energy density of the electric arc is too low, so that the time for finishing the melting of the raw material rod is prolonged, a large amount of heat is transferred to a motor shaft and a bearing, and the motor cannot work normally. The energy density of the electric arc is too high, and the liquid film layer on the melting end face of the beryllium raw material rod is too thick, so that the powder is thickened, the flash is easy to generate, the vibration of the raw material rod is increased, and the atomization process cannot be carried out. The operating current determines the magnitude of the arc energy density.
The rotation speed, the working current, the arc distance and the feeding speed of the beryllium rod are important process parameters, and the atomization process can be smoothly realized only through the combination and cooperation of the process parameters.
In the present embodiment, the arc melting rotary atomizing device (may be simply referred to as an atomizing system) mainly includes:
(1) an arc melting system: the working current is output by 200-4000A, the arc length is 35-80 mm, and the diameter of the arc column is 30-40 mm. An arc melting system may melt a metallic beryllium feedstock bar into droplets.
(2) Rotating centrifugal atomization system (rotating system for short): the metal beryllium raw material rod is placed into a rotary centrifugal atomization system, and the rotary system can control the rotating speed of the metal beryllium rod to be 12000-26000 rpm. The rotating system can enable the metal beryllium rod to generate centrifugal force after being melted, and a liquid film at the front end of the metal beryllium rod is atomized into liquid drops and cooled into powder under the action of the centrifugal force.
(3) A feeding system: the feed system may be attached to one end of a metallic beryllium bar. The feeding system can supplement the melted and separated liquid film by continuously feeding the bar stock (namely the metal beryllium bar), and the feeding speed can be continuously adjusted within 0-200 mm/min.
