Method for preparing refractory metal powder
Technical Field

Background
Refractory metals play an important role in the development of new materials and the improvement of the performance of existing materials. For new materials with higher precision, the added alloy elements need to meet the requirements of granularity and quality at the same time. At present, the main preparation methods of metal powder are a plasma rotating electrode method, a gasification atomization method and a physical chemical method.
The plasma rotating electrode method is easy to prepare spherical powder with better sphericity but not easy to prepare powder, and the material utilization rate is not high; the gasification atomization method is divided into a traditional atomization technology and a novel atomization technology, the traditional atomization technology is suitable for preparing low-melting-point metal powder such as aluminum, the hot gas atomization method in the novel atomization technology can provide higher atomization rate and is widely applied to the production of alloy powder such as stainless steel, iron alloy, nickel alloy, magnetic material and the like, but due to the special design of a heating nozzle, few mechanisms are researched; the physical chemical method is a mature process technology for manufacturing metal powder, but the method is only limited to metal materials which are easy to react with hydrogen and have increased brittleness after absorbing hydrogen so as to be easy to break. In light of the above process characteristics, progress has been made in the preparation of refractory metal powders.
Niobium powder is an important component element in high-end technology products such as aviation, low-temperature superconduction and the like, and can improve the heat resistance, strength and thermal conductivity of the products. The current molten salt electrolysis method can be used for preparing niobium powder, because the graphite anode and the graphite cathode are simultaneously dissolved in the molten salt, the control of the potential in the molten salt, the precipitation of impurities at the cathode and side reactions caused by the impurities are all the problems encountered at present, and meanwhile, the preparation of the method also needs to consume a large amount of time over 12 hours. CN200610149612 describes a method for preparing niobium powder for powder metallurgy, which comprises: pressing the powder into a billet, performing vacuum sintering, preparing powder by hydrogenation, performing deoxidation and dehydrogenation heat treatment, and then performing acid washing, water washing and drying to obtain the niobium powder.
The titanium powder is widely applied to the fields of aerospace, medical appliances, metallurgy and the like, and has the advantages of reducing the weight of materials, improving the strength, resisting acid and alkali corrosion and the like. CN201711022391 describes a method for preparing titanium powder, which comprises: mixing, pressing and sintering a titanium material and calcium oxide, mixing and pressing a sintered product and calcium hydride to obtain a pre-reduced blank, performing vacuum thermal reduction to obtain a crude product, and performing acid washing, water washing and drying on the crude product to finally obtain titanium powder, wherein the whole process takes 6 hours or more.
At present, the methods can realize the preparation of refractory metal powder, but the methods have the problems of complicated equipment, long process route, long consumption time and environmental pollution caused by generated by-products or used solvents.
