Description

Plasma atomizing device for exciting ultrasonic waves by electric arc
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of 3D additive manufacturing, in particular to a plasma atomization device for exciting ultrasonic waves by an electric arc.
Background
The metal powder is widely used in advanced manufacturing industries such as additive manufacturing, and the characteristics such as sphericity, granularity distribution and the like have obvious influence on the performance of manufactured products. The metal powder particle size is generally required to be 106 μm or less, and the high precision manufacturing industry requires even 45 μm particle size, while the powder is required to have high flowability, low impurity content, and the like.
The plasma fuse atomization (PA) uses the thermal energy of a high-temperature high-speed plasma jet to melt a metal wire, and then uses the mechanical energy of the jet to break up and atomize the molten metal. And finally, condensing the small metal droplets into spherical particles under the action of surface tension in the falling process, wherein the whole production process is carried out in an inert gas atmosphere. The produced powder has the advantages of concentrated particle size distribution, good fluidity, high purity and the like. But the plasma fuse atomizing method has higher porosity than the plasma rotating electrode atomizing method, has low production speed and high energy consumption compared with the gas atomizing method, and has the fine powder yield of about 40 percent, and the cost is high, so that the method is difficult to support large-scale industrial production and application.
Ultrasonic atomization has been widely used in the fields of air humidifiers, medical use, surface coatings, oil jet burners and the like, and is a technique of mechanically vibrating liquid by ultrasonic waves (more than 20 KHz) to atomize the liquid into nano-sized droplets. There are mainly two explanations of the principle: one is a surface tension wave theory, namely that under the action of ultrasonic waves, unstable surface tension waves appear at the gas-liquid interface, and when the surface tension waves are large to a certain value, small liquid drops at wave crests are separated to form small fog drops; the second is the theory of micro shock wave, the liquid is vibrated by ultrasonic wave to form cavitation bubbles, the bubbles are continuously compressed and stretched under the alternating positive and negative pressure formed by the longitudinal propagation of the ultrasonic wave until a moment of collapse generates huge instantaneous impact force, so that the liquid is crushed to form small fog drops. When the ultrasonic frequency is above a certain value, the surface tension wave plays a dominant role; when the ultrasonic frequency is smaller than a certain value, the surface tension wave and the micro shock wave simultaneously act on the atomization process. In principle, ultrasonic atomization can also play a role in the process of preparing metal powders, but is only applicable to low melting point metals and alloys.
The arc plasma jet contains a large number of electrons and ions, which are the basis for the substances that generate vibrations. When the particles are disturbed by the applied energy, the motion state of the particles is changed to causeSurrounding particles deviate from their equilibrium position and propagate their mechanical vibrations from the near to the far, forming sound waves. This process is a process in which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy and then from mechanical energy into acoustic energy, so that a plasma jet can also be regarded as an ultrasonic transducer, i.e. an ultrasonic emission source. The eigenfrequency of the plasma is 10 3 MHz~10 4 MHz, which reflects the highest frequency to which the plasma oscillates. The frequency range of the plasma ultrasonic wave depends on the minimum response time of the internal particles, and the response rate of the particles can be ensured when the excitation frequency is 20kHz to 500 kHz.
In conclusion, by combining a plasma atomization technology and an ultrasonic atomization technology, ultrasonic waves generated by plasma excitation act on the metal wire, so that the atomization efficiency is improved, and the method for reducing the particle size of powder has theoretical feasibility.
The above-described apparatus is accomplished by providing a plasma atomizing apparatus that arc excites ultrasonic waves.
