In the preparation method of embodiment 2, the prepared titanium powder and titanium alloy powder of 30-325 meshes are selected, raw material powders with different thicknesses are selected, mixed and proportioned according to a certain proportion, pressed and formed in a press forming device by cold isostatic pressing, uniaxial pressing or multiaxial pressing, and the like, then the formed green body is subjected to surface protection coating treatment by a coating treatment device, and the coated green body is placed in a substrate or a crucible to prepare for entering a tunnel type continuous microwave sintering furnace for sintering. Conveying the green body subjected to protective coating treatment into a feeding space by using an external material conveying system, closing a gate 4 and starting to open an atmosphere system to fill inert atmosphere or vacuumize, after the environment in the furnace is sintered, feeding the green body into a heating space to perform microwave heating, heating to a set temperature according to the heating of a microwave heating control system, keeping the temperature after heating for a required time, feeding the heated and formed blank into a cooling and forming space, directly cooling the sintered blank or performing compression forming on the molten blank by using a pressing device 10 according to the requirement of a formed product, and discharging the cooled blank out of the furnace to perform rear end surface treatment.

As is known, the existence of inherent pores on metal materials and products obviously influences the physical and chemical properties of the materials and the products, the difficulty of precise forming of the materials and the products is also increased, and in order to reduce the influence of the inherent pores of powder sintered products and improve the effects of powder raw materials and an electromagnetic field, the compaction of powder plays a critical role.
With respect to the raw material ratio in the step S2, through a plurality of experiments, experimental data prove that the particle size of the powder has an influence on the flowability, the loose packed density, the particle surface contact area and the powder compressibility of the powder, in the field of microwave sintering, the particle size of the powder influences the performance of a microwave sintered body, and research experiments show that the smaller the particle size of the powder is, the better the sintering temperature and performance is, but the fine powder is easier to oxidize, the lower the safety is, the higher the cost is, and the powder is difficult to adapt to the industrial development and the market demand. The microwave sintering experiment of titanium metal shows that the strength and plasticity of the titanium metal powder after being sintered by the pressed compact can be greatly improved by adding a certain proportion of fine powder into the coarse powder, the performance similar to that of the pressed compact sintering of the fine powder can be achieved, meanwhile, the price of the coarse powder is much lower (about 10 times) than that of the fine powder, and the coarse powder is easy to prepare and has high safety. In order to improve the relative compactness of the powder and reduce the cost of the raw materials, the step S2 adopts the mode of mechanical pulverization, classification and coarse and fine powder mixing for proportioning, and mechanical mixing is not needed again, so that the process is simplified, and the pollution of the powder raw materials is reduced.
Regarding the compaction forming in the step 3, because titanium metal has the characteristic of high work hardening rate, and the characteristics of good sphericity and strong fluidity of high-quality titanium powder and titanium alloy powder prepared by the company are combined, after a certain proportion of mixed ingredients, cold isostatic pressing (dry or wet cold isostatic pressing), uniaxial pressing or biaxial pressing are adopted to carry out compaction, and the relative density of a green compact is not lower than 80%. The relative compactness of the pressed compact based on the titanium material is in direct proportion to the relative density of sintering forming, and according to different requirements of a final product on the sintering compactness, the pressed compact is formed by adopting 100-700 MPa (dry or wet) cold isostatic pressing pressure or is unidirectionally compacted by adopting 100-600 MPa uniaxial pressing to prepare a green compact to be sintered.
In the step S5, during the microwave sintering, the blank is prepared by using a microwave sintering device, and the working principle is as follows:
firstly, in a feeding space, placing a processed molded green blank on a substrate or a crucible prepared from silicon nitride, silicon carbide or molybdenum disilicide materials with wave absorbing and wave transmitting functions, opening a gate 4, conveying the processed molded green blank to a feeding space 5 through a conveying device 2, closing the gate 4 and then filling inert atmosphere for protection; further, after the sealed gate 4 is closed, the green body of the feeding space 5 is automatically conveyed into the heating space 6 through the conveying device 2, then the vacuumizing or the inert protective atmosphere is started, when the vacuum degree reaches 10 < -3 > -4 > 10 < -3 > cubic pascal (the vacuum degree of the alloy material is 10 < -1 > -4.3 > 10 < -3 >), or the protective atmosphere argon gas is charged, the heating is started in the 2.45GHz microwave multi-mold cavity, the heating is carried out for 90-240 minutes, if other formed products such as a rod, a pipe and the like are prepared, the heating temperature is required to reach 1300 ℃ -1560 ℃, the heat preservation time reaches 60-180 minutes, then the sintered blank of the rod, the pipe and other formed products is obtained, finally, the protective atmosphere argon gas is charged into the cooling forming space 7, after the air in the cooling forming space 7 is completely replaced, the gate 4 between the heating space 6 and the cooling forming space 7 is opened, and conveying the sintered rod, tube and other sintered blank to a cooling forming space 7, firstly, starting slow cooling by adopting argon, and converting into liquid argon for rapid cooling forming when the detected cooling temperature reaches 900 ℃. If plate and ingot products are prepared, the heating temperature needs to reach 1700-1860 ℃, the heat preservation time reaches 120-180 minutes, then plate and ingot blanks in a molten state are obtained, finally, the cooling forming space 7 is filled with argon in a protective atmosphere, after air in the cooling forming space 7 is completely replaced, a gate 4 between a heating space 6 and the cooling forming space 7 is opened, the plate and ingot blanks in the molten state are conveyed to the cooling forming space 7, argon is adopted to start slow cooling, meanwhile, a pressing device 10 is quickly used for pressing and forming the blanks in the molten state, and when the cooling temperature is detected to reach 900 ℃, the blanks are converted into liquid argon to be quickly quenched and formed. And recycling argon before blowing in the furnace. Wherein, cooling shaping space 7 adopts argon gas as protective atmosphere, plays the effect of protection at first, avoids titanium blank to cool off fast simultaneously, influences the performance of titanium or titanium alloy goods, uses argon gas earlier, uses liquid argon again to cool off, accelerates ejection of compact time, enlarges the volume production ability.
