Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of 3D printing metal powder, and particularly relates to plasma spheroidizing deoxidation 3D printing metal powder preparation equipment.
Background
In recent years, the additive manufacturing technology is rapidly developed at home and abroad, processing methods, equipment and technology are continuously innovated and optimized, the improvement of the quality and performance of raw materials becomes an important step for promoting the progress of the additive manufacturing field, and the requirements of related processes on metal powder materials are more severe, so that the metal powder is required to have excellent sphericity and particle size distribution to ensure good fluidity in the processing process, and the powder is required to have higher purity and low oxygen content. Common metal materials for additive manufacturing include iron-based alloys, titanium-based alloys, nickel-based alloys, aluminum alloys, copper alloys, noble metals, and the like. With the continuous development of additive manufacturing technology in various fields, the requirements on the quality of raw materials are more and more strict, and the sphericity, purity, particle size distribution and fluidity of metal powder all have important influence on the quality of formed parts. At present, the preparation method of the metal powder special for additive manufacturing mainly comprises an atomization method and a plasma method. The atomization method mainly comprises two methods of water atomization and gas atomization, and the plasma method mainly comprises three methods of plasma rotating electrode atomization, plasma fuse atomization and plasma spheroidization.
1. Atomization method
(1) Water atomization: the water atomization is an atomization powder preparation method which takes water as an atomization medium and breaks metal liquid flow, and has the advantages of simple equipment structure, high efficiency and low atomization cost; however, compared with gas atomization, the prepared powder has high impurity content and poor sphericity, which is attributed to the fact that active metal is easy to react with an atomization medium at high temperature to increase oxygen content, and meanwhile, the specific heat capacity of water is large, and the rapid solidification stage of atomized and broken metal droplets is often irregular, so that the quality requirement of metal 3D printing on the powder is difficult to meet.
(2) Gas atomization: the gas atomization powder-making method is that liquid metal flow is crushed into small liquid drops by high-speed airflow, and then the small liquid drops are quickly condensed to obtain formed powder. Compared with water atomization, the method is mainly different from the change of an atomization medium, and the powder produced by gas atomization accounts for about 30% -50% of the total powder production in the world at present; the metal powder prepared by the method has the advantages of fine particle size (the particle size of the powder is less than 150 mu m), better sphericity, high purity, low oxygen content, high forming speed, small environmental pollution and the like, and the technology is suitable for the production of most metal and alloy powder and is a mainstream method for preparing the metal powder for additive manufacturing.
2. Plasma method
(1) Plasma rotating electrode atomization: the plasma rotating electrode atomization technology is originally originated from Russia, and the method adopts coaxial plasma arcs as heat sources, firstly, the plasma arcs heat and melt the rapidly rotating consumable electrodes in the inert gas atmosphere, the end faces of the rotating bar materials are heated and melted to form liquid films, then, the liquid films are atomized into molten drops at the edge of a molten pool under the action of centrifugal force, and the molten drops are cooled and solidified under the action of surface tension in the flying process to finally form spherical powder. The technology can regulate and control the particle size of the powder by adjusting the current of the plasma arc and the rotating speed of the consumable electrode, improves the yield of the powder with specific particle size, is beneficial to preparing the spherical powder with high sphericity, high density, low porosity, low oxygen content and smooth surface, does not basically have hollow powder and satellite powder, and effectively reduces the phenomena of spheroidization, agglomeration and air hole and cracking caused by introducing impurity elements in the production process of the additive manufacturing technology.
(2) Plasma fuse atomization: the plasma fuse wire atomization process is proposed and patented by high-grade powder and coating companies in Canada, metal wire materials with specified sizes are taken as raw materials, the raw materials are fed into an atomization furnace through a wire feeding system according to a specific speed, and fusion atomization is carried out under the action of focused plasma arc through an annular plasma torch heating device at an outlet, so that metal powder is finally obtained. Whole flow goes on under the argon gas atmosphere, and the melting atomization process does not have the foreign matter and disturbs, and the product purity is high, because adopts the metal silk material as processing raw and other materials, can obtain the powder of specific particle size distribution through control feed speed, has improved the stability of quality of powder, and the suspended particles of low concentration can effectively prevent to form the companion granule to make the powder possess better mobility, very be favorable to preparing the metal powder of high purity, high sphericity.
(3) Plasma spheroidizing: the plasma spheroidizing technology is a secondary forming technology for melting and reprocessing irregular powder. The technology takes metal powder with irregular shape as raw material, the irregular powder is conveyed into induction plasma under the action of carrier gas flow, the induction plasma is heated and melted under the action of thermal plasma, and molten metal drops are subjected to higher temperature gradient change and self surface tension action in the process of falling into a cooling chamber, so that the molten metal drops are rapidly cooled, solidified and condensed into a spherical shape. The plasma melting spheroidizing technology is considered as an effective means for obtaining compact and regular spherical powder due to the forming principle, and the preparation method can be divided into two types, namely radio frequency plasma and direct current plasma according to the excitation mode of the plasma. A significant disadvantage of this process is that the metal powder produced has a high oxygen content.
