Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of powder metallurgy, and particularly relates to a preparation method of porous metal microspheres for 3D printing.
Technical Field
In recent years, metal additive manufacturing techniques have been rapidly developed. Many conventional methods have difficulty in manufacturing metal parts that meet the requirements. But can now be manufactured by 3D printing techniques. Therefore, the performance requirements that 3D printed metal powders need to meet are also becoming an important concern. The 3D printing metal powder must meet the requirements of high sphericity, good fluidity, fine particle size and the like. The current methods for preparing the metal spherical powder mainly comprise an atomization method, a plasma fuse method and a rotating electrode method. However, the microspheres obtained by the methods have uneven particle size distribution and difficult control of the particle size; the particle size difference is obvious, as small as tens of micrometers and as large as hundreds of micrometers. The cost for preparing spherical powder is high and the efficiency is low. It is difficult to mass produce multi-grade powders. Today, many people have recognized that the problem of preparing spherical metal powders has become one of the bottlenecks that limit the development of 3D printing technology. Therefore, the preparation of the high-performance spherical metal raw material powder for 3D printing has important value significance. As a technology capable of precisely controlling micro-scale fluid, the prepared microsphere has uniform size and good monodispersity. The current method for preparing the metal microspheres for 3D printing by using the microfluidic technology will enable the 3D printing technology to be closely related to the field of powder metallurgy. How to prepare metal spherical powder suitable for various 3D printing with low cost and high efficiency becomes a research hot spot.
Chinese patent No. CN 110282642A discloses a method for preparing alumina microsphere by using microfluidic technology. The method comprises the steps of peptizing hydrolysis products of aluminum sec-butoxide into aluminum sol, adding methyl cellulose and hexamethylenetetramine as gel initiators into the aluminum sol, adding triblock copolymers to prepare a disperse phase, introducing the continuous phase into a coaxial annular type micro-channel to continuously flow by utilizing a micro-channel technology, introducing the disperse phase from an inner channel coaxially embedded into a main channel in the same direction, and forming disperse phase liquid drops under the shearing action of the continuous phase. In the solidification process of the dispersed phase liquid drops, under the composite action of temperature initiation and pH initiation, the rapid preliminary gelation of the dispersed phase liquid drops in the micro-channel is promoted; and further completely solidifying by using a coagulating bath, and drying and calcining to obtain the alumina microspheres. The alumina microsphere prepared by the method has high sphericity, uniform size, smooth surface and controllable internal pore structure. At present, in the ceramic field, a microfluidic technology has been developed to some extent. However, the application of the microfluidic technology in the preparation of metal powder in the field of powder metallurgy is very rare, and particularly, the preparation of metal microspheres is rarely studied.
