Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metal powder manufacturing equipment for additive manufacturing, in particular to a metal atomization diversion tundish device and an operation method thereof.
Background
The metal additive manufacturing technology (3D printing) is an advanced manufacturing technology, and compared with the traditional metal material manufacturing technology, the metal additive manufacturing technology has the advantages of near net shape, no cutting chips, short manufacturing period, good response capability to complex parts and the like. The raw material for manufacturing the metal additive is metal powder with a certain particle size range, and the metal powder is required to meet the requirements of pure chemical components, low oxygen content, high sphericity, good fluidity, good loose density and the like. The metal powder produced by adopting the vacuum gas atomization method can meet the requirements, and the basic principle of the method is that under the protection of inert gas, the molten metal flow is broken into small liquid drops by using high-pressure inert gas, and the small liquid drops are formed into the metal powder within a certain particle size range after flying and cooling. Among them, the vacuum induction melting inert gas atomization method (VIGA) adopting the vacuum tight coupling technology gradually becomes the mainstream industrial technology for preparing additive manufacturing metal powder due to the low kinetic energy loss of the inert gas and high metal powder yield.
However, the vacuum tight coupling technique generates strong interaction due to the fact that the metal liquid flow meets the high-pressure inert gas immediately after flowing out of the discharge spout, and the reverse spraying phenomenon easily occurs at the position of the discharge spout, so that atomization fails. In order to solve the problem, the thinner the leakage nozzle is, the generation of back spraying is reduced, the amount of molten steel flowing out per unit time is reduced, the gas-liquid ratio is improved, and the metal powder yield is further improved. However, the finer the tap, the smaller the amount of steel liquid to be discharged, and the faster the temperature of the molten metal decreases, and the problem of the tap clogging tends to occur. In order to further solve the problem, the prior art mainly improves the fluidity of molten steel and prevents leakage nozzle blockage by improving the temperature of the molten steel in a smelting crucible, but does not improve the structure and the heat preservation capability of a tundish, so that the temperature of the tundish is generally 1200-1300 ℃, the temperature of the molten steel smelted in the crucible is as high as 1600-1800 ℃, the great temperature difference greatly reduces the temperature of the molten steel, and the problem of leakage nozzle blockage caused by the reduction of the temperature of the molten steel cannot be well solved.

Embodiment one:
the invention provides a metal atomization diversion tundish device which can be used for atomizing molten metal liquid to prepare metal particles with smaller particle size for metal additive manufacturing. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a metal atomizing and guiding tundish device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: the heat-preserving atomization unit 1 is internally provided with a heat-preserving cavity 111 for containing molten metal, and the upper end of the heat-preserving cavity 111 is opened to form a liquid injection port 112; a heating unit 2 which can extend into the heat preservation cavity 111 through the liquid injection port 112, wherein the heating unit 2 is used for heating the heat preservation cavity 111; a cover 3 capable of sealing the cover and arranged on the liquid injection port 112; the pressurizing unit 4 is inserted into the cover 3, and the pressurizing unit 4 can introduce the inert gas into the upper side of the heat-insulating cavity 111 in a state that the cover 3 seals the cover on the liquid injection port 112.
When the molten metal is atomized, the tundish apparatus generally needs to have heating and heat-insulating capabilities in order to keep the molten metal melted in the crucible in a high-temperature molten state after entering the atomizing apparatus. The heat preservation and atomization unit 1 of the metal atomization and diversion tundish device of the embodiment has the heating and heat preservation capability, and the molten metal in the heat preservation cavity 111 is kept at the melting temperature by continuously heating. But only heats the heat insulation atomizing unit 1 from the outside of the heat insulation cavity 111, heat can be continuously emitted from the heat insulation cavity 111, and the actual temperature (generally about 1200 ℃) in the heat insulation cavity 111 is lower than the temperature of molten metal liquid smelted in a crucible, at this time, the temperature of the molten metal liquid gradually drops after entering the heat insulation cavity 111, and when the molten metal liquid flows out to an atomizing port and contacts atomizing gas with lower temperature in the subsequent atomizing process, condensed metal blocks are more likely to appear, the yield of atomized fine powder is reduced, even the atomizing port is blocked, the atomizing process is interrupted, and the production efficiency is affected. Therefore, in order to increase the actual temperature in the heat preservation cavity 111 and reduce the temperature difference between the heat preservation cavity 111 and the molten metal melted in the crucible, the metal atomization diversion tundish device of the embodiment is further provided with a heating unit 2 which can extend into the heat preservation cavity 111 to directly heat the heat preservation cavity 111, the heating unit 2 can be used for directly heating the heat preservation cavity 111, the actual temperature in the heat preservation cavity 111 can be effectively increased, and the temperature drop of the molten metal melted after entering the heat preservation cavity 111 is reduced, so that the temperature of the molten metal melted after flowing out from an atomization port is higher, and condensation blocks are not easy to generate, thereby well solving the blocking problem of the molten metal melted during atomization.
In order to ensure that the atomization effect of the molten metal liquid is better, the higher fine powder receiving rate is obtained, the caliber of an atomization opening is generally smaller, and the smaller caliber atomization opening can ensure that the molten metal liquid flowing out in unit time is less, so that the impact of atomization gas on the molten metal liquid is stronger and more uniform, and the atomization effect of the molten metal liquid can be improved. But less molten metal flows out of the atomizing port with smaller caliber, and the atomized gas is caused to blow part of the flowed molten metal back into the atomizing port again, so that the reverse spraying phenomenon is caused, the production efficiency is reduced, the cooled molten metal is returned into the atomizing port again, and the coagulation is caused, so that the atomizing port is blocked, and the production efficiency is further reduced. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of reverse spraying of the atomizing port, the metal atomizing diversion tundish device of the embodiment further comprises a sealing cover 3 capable of sealing the sealing cover on the liquid injection port 112, and a pressurizing unit 4 penetrating through the sealing cover 3, inert gas is introduced into the upper part of the heat preservation cavity 111 through the pressurizing unit 4, so that a certain air pressure is formed above the liquid level of the molten metal in the heat preservation cavity 111, the molten metal at the atomizing port has a larger pressure, the molten metal sprayed from the atomizing port is not pushed back into the atomizing port by the atomized air, the generation of the reverse spraying phenomenon is effectively reduced, the atomizing effect of the molten metal is improved, and the fine powder yield is further improved.
Specifically, the metal atomizing and guiding tundish device of the present embodiment can be used for atomizing different molten metal solutions, and thus different temperatures can be provided in the heat preservation chamber 111 by adjusting the heating time of the heating unit 2, and different air pressures can be provided above the liquid level of the molten metal solution in the heat preservation chamber 111 by adjusting the pressure of the pressurizing unit 4. For example, when the metal atomizing and guiding intermediate package device of this embodiment is used for preparing 316L stainless steel metal powder, before molten metal in a crucible is poured into the heat preservation cavity 111, the heat preservation cavity 111 should be heated together by the heating unit 2 and the heat preservation atomizing unit 1, so that the temperature of the heat preservation cavity 111 reaches 1520 ℃. When atomizing molten 316L stainless steel liquid, the pressure of the gas above the liquid surface should be set to 0.8MPa or more by the pressurizing means 4. For example, when the metal atomizing and guiding tundish apparatus of the present embodiment is used for preparing GH3230 alloy metal powder, the temperature of the insulating cavity 111 should be made to be above 1570 ℃ before the molten metal in the crucible is poured into the insulating cavity 111. When atomizing molten GH3230 alloy, the pressure above the liquid surface should be set to 0.9MPa or more by the pressurizing means 4. In addition, the inert gas introduced into the insulating cavity 111 is preferably argon, so as to achieve good oxidation protection of the molten metal, and the heating unit 2 may be a flame gun (as shown in fig. 1), an electrothermal coil (as shown in fig. 2), or other devices capable of rapidly heating the insulating cavity 111.
In order to further improve the heat preservation capability of the heat preservation cavity 111, so that the heating unit 2 can still continuously heat and preserve heat of the heat preservation cavity 111 after withdrawing from the heat preservation cavity 111, and perform atomization processing on molten metal, the structure of the heat preservation atomizing unit 1 of the metal atomization diversion tundish device of the embodiment has good heating and heat preservation effects and has the atomizing capability of molten metal. Referring to fig. 3, in a preferred embodiment, the thermal insulation atomizing unit 1 comprises: a tundish shell 11, wherein a heat preservation cavity 111 is formed in the tundish shell, a liquid injection port 112 is formed by opening the upper end of the tundish shell 11, and a discharge port 113 is formed at the bottom of the tundish shell 11; a graphite sheath layer 12 sleeved outside the tundish shell 11, wherein a first accommodating opening 121 is formed at the bottom of the graphite sheath layer 12, the periphery of the first accommodating opening 121 extends downwards to form an annular heat transfer flange part 123, and a second accommodating opening 122 is formed inside the heat transfer flange part 123; a heating shell 13 sleeved outside the graphite sleeve layer 12, an electric heating coil 131 for heating is arranged on the heating shell 13, an embedding opening 132 is formed at the bottom of the heating shell 13, and a heat transfer flange 123 is correspondingly embedded in the embedding opening 132; the guide sleeve 14 is embedded at the bottom of the tundish shell 11, the guide sleeve 14 is penetrated in the first accommodating port 121 and the second accommodating port 122, the outer wall of the guide sleeve 14 is contacted with the inner walls of the first accommodating port 121 and the second accommodating port 122, the middle part of the guide sleeve 14 is penetrated in the axial direction to form a guide hole 141, the upper end of the guide hole 141 is connected at the lower end of the discharge port 113, the guide hole 141 is gradually reduced from top to bottom towards the axis, and an installation port is formed between the lower side of the guide sleeve 14 and the heat transfer flange part 123; a nozzle 15 provided at the lower end of the guide sleeve 14, wherein a mounting ring 151 corresponding to the mounting opening is formed at the upper end of the nozzle 15, the outer wall of the mounting ring 151 is in contact with the inner wall of the second accommodating opening 122, the middle part of the nozzle 15 is penetrated in the axial direction to form an atomizing opening 152, and the upper end of the atomizing opening 152 is connected to the lower end of the guide hole 141; the atomizing disk 16 is sleeved on the nozzle 15, a gas flow channel 161 is formed in the atomizing disk 16 along the radial direction, and the gas flow channel 161 is communicated to the lower end of the atomizing port 152.
By placing the molten metal in the heat-insulating chamber 111 formed by the tundish casing 11, the graphite jacket 12 having uniform heat conduction is provided outside the tundish casing 11, and the heating casing 13 having the electric heating coil 131 is provided outside the graphite jacket 12, the heat-insulating chamber 111 can be continuously and uniformly heated. Before molten metal is poured into the heat-preserving cavity 111, the heat-preserving cavity 111 is heated only by the electric heating coil 131 of the heating shell 13, so that the defects of insufficient temperature and the like are generated, the heat-preserving cavity 111 needs to be heated simultaneously by the heating unit 2, and when the heat-preserving cavity 111 reaches a sufficient temperature and contains molten metal, the upper end of the heat-preserving cavity 111 is sealed by the sealing cover 3 at the same time, and the heat dissipation of the molten metal is very slow, so that the molten metal in the heat-preserving cavity 111 can be kept at the original temperature only by the electric heating coil 131 of the heating shell 13. A guide sleeve 14 is provided between the discharge port 113 at the bottom of the tundish casing 11 and the nozzle 15, a guide hole 141 for guiding the molten metal is provided in the guide sleeve 14, and the guide hole 141 is tapered from top to bottom toward the axis thereof, so that the molten metal can smoothly flow to the nozzle 15 under the guide of the guide hole 141 in the guide sleeve 14. In addition, since the guide sleeve 14 is inserted into the graphite sleeve layer 12, and the guide sleeve 14 is disposed in contact with the graphite sleeve layer 12, the heat generated by the electric heating coil 131 of the heating housing 13 can be transferred to the guide sleeve 14 through the graphite sleeve layer 12, so that the molten metal still can be kept in a high-temperature molten state when flowing into the guide sleeve 14, and the nozzle 15 is correspondingly embedded at the mounting opening formed by the graphite sleeve layer 12 and the guide sleeve 14 through the mounting ring 151 at the upper end of the nozzle 15 and is disposed in contact with the graphite sleeve layer 12 and the guide sleeve 14, so that the nozzle 15 can obtain the heat generated by the electric heating coil 131 under the transfer of the graphite sleeve layer 12, thereby further ensuring the high-temperature molten state of the molten metal. When the molten metal flows out from the atomizing port 152 of the nozzle 15, the molten metal is immediately contacted with the atomized gas flowing out from the gas flow channel 161 of the atomizing disk 16 at a high speed, the molten metal is atomized into a plurality of small droplets under the impact of the atomized gas, and the droplets are cooled and solidified into metal particles with smaller particle size when falling, so that the metal particles meeting the particle size requirement are reserved and become metal powder for metal additive manufacturing.
Specifically, the tundish shell 11 may be integrally cast from a high-temperature resistant material such as high alumina or mullite self-casting material, and the inner wall of the tundish shell 11 may be further coated with a high-temperature resistant plate made of a high-temperature resistant material such as siliceous, magnesia, or forsterite, or a high-temperature resistant coating made of a high-temperature resistant material such as magnesia, magnesia-chromite, or magnesia-calcia. The graphite jacket layer 12 is made of a graphite material to ensure good heat conduction, and the guide sleeve 14 is also made of a graphite material to conduct heat well from the graphite jacket layer 12. The heating housing 13 is also made of a heat-resistant material to withstand the high heat of the electric heating coil 131. In order to make the guide hole 141 of the guide sleeve 14 better guide the flow of the molten metal, the diameter of the upper end of the guide hole 141 is the same as that of the discharge port 113 of the tundish housing 11, and the diameter of the lower end of the guide hole 141 is the same as that of the atomizing port 152 of the nozzle 15, so that the molten metal can flow out more smoothly. Further, it is preferable that the main component of the atomizing gas flowing out from the gas flow channel 161 of the atomizing disk 16 is argon gas to prevent the molten metal from being oxidized.
In the molten metal atomizing process, in order to prevent the occurrence of the back spray phenomenon, it is necessary to seal the molten metal injection port 112 by the cap 3 and to charge air above the liquid surface of the molten metal by the pressurizing means 4. To achieve this, referring to fig. 4, in a preferred embodiment, the periphery of the cover 3 is bent downward, and a pressurizing cavity 31 communicating with the heat preservation cavity 111 is formed around the middle of the cover 3, a sealing ring 32 capable of sealing between the sealing ring and the liquid filling port 112 is provided at the lower edge of the cover 3, and a stop portion 33 extending inward from the inner wall of the cover 3 and formed by bending upward is provided inside the cover 3; the pressurizing unit 4 includes: a gas source 41 for introducing an inert gas into the pressurized cavity 31; an annular tube 42 for conveying inert gas; the plurality of gas spraying pipes 43 are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the annular pipe 42, one end of each gas spraying pipe 43 is communicated with the annular pipe 42, and the other end of each gas spraying pipe 43 penetrates through the sealing cover 3 to enter the pressurizing cavity 31 and extends to the position of the corresponding stopping part 33, so that the stopping part 33 bears the impact pressure of inert gas sprayed from the gas spraying pipe 43.
The pressurizing chamber 31 is formed by bending the cover 3, so that a certain space is formed above the liquid surface of the molten metal liquid without affecting the molten metal liquid reserve of the thermal insulation atomizing unit 1, and a pressure is generated by charging gas. By the seal ring 32 at the lower edge of the cover 3, good sealing performance of the pressurizing chamber 31 can be ensured, and the gas filled in the pressurizing chamber can be prevented from leaking to reach the expected gas pressure. The inside of the cover 3 is also provided with a stop part 33, when the high-speed air flow is filled into the pressurizing cavity 31 through the air injection pipe 43, the stop part 33 is firstly impacted, so that the high-speed air flow is prevented from directly jetting to the liquid level of the molten metal liquid to cause splashing of metal liquid drops, and the waste of materials is caused. The pressure of the charged gas in the pressurizing chamber 31, i.e., above the liquid surface of the molten metal, is gradually increased, so that the molten metal is more likely to flow out of the atomizing port 152 without being affected by the atomized gas to cause a problem of back spray.
Specifically, the number of the gas nozzles 43 communicating with the annular tube 42 may be 4 to 16 to uniformly and rapidly charge the pressurizing chamber 31 with the gas. The gas charged into the pressurizing chamber 31 may be argon gas to prevent the molten metal from being oxidized. The sealing ring 32 between the sealing cover 3 and the liquid injection port 112 can be a metal sealing ring, the metal sealing ring has stable performance in a high temperature state, and is influenced by the thermal expansion and contraction effect, and can be further expanded to enable the sealing cover 3 and the liquid injection port 112 to have better sealing.

By arranging the heating unit 2 on the first support 51 of the first driving unit 5, the movement of the heating unit 2 can be conveniently controlled, avoiding the risk of manual operation of high temperature devices.

Embodiment two:
the invention further aims to provide an operation method of the metal atomization diversion tundish device, which is based on the metal atomization diversion tundish device, can solve the problem of nozzle blockage caused by too fast temperature reduction of molten steel and can solve the problem of back spraying of molten metal at the nozzle, thereby improving the yield of metal powder. The above object of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions: referring to fig. 1 to 5, the present invention provides an operation method of a metal atomizing and guiding tundish apparatus, which can be used for atomizing molten metal by using the metal atomizing and guiding tundish apparatus, comprising the following steps: medium-frequency alternating current is supplied to the electric heating coil 131 on the heating shell 13, so that the electric heating coil 131 heats and heats the tundish shell 11 and the guide sleeve 14 through the graphite sleeve layer 12; the heating unit 2 is extended into the heat preservation cavity 111 of the tundish shell 11 through the first driving unit 5, so that the heating unit 2 heats the heat preservation cavity 111; detecting the temperature in the heat preservation cavity 111, and when the temperature of the tundish shell 11 reaches the preset heat preservation temperature, enabling the heating unit 2 to leave the heat preservation cavity 111 through the first driving unit 5; the atomized gas flows to the lower end of an atomizing port 152 of the nozzle 15 through a gas flow channel 161 in the atomizing disk 16, and molten metal is poured into the heat preservation cavity 111 through a liquid injection port 112; the second driving unit 6 enables the sealing cover 3 to be arranged on the liquid injection port 112 in a covering way, and pretightening force is applied to enable the sealing cover 3 and the liquid injection port 112 to be sealed; injecting an inert gas into the pressurizing chamber 31 of the cover 3 through the gas injection pipe 43 of the pressurizing unit 4 so that the pressure above the liquid level of the molten metal in the heat-retaining chamber 111 is higher than a preset atomization pressure; when the molten metal in the heat preservation cavity 111 is 20%, the second driving unit 6 enables the sealing cover 3 to leave the liquid injection port 112, and the molten metal is replenished in the heat preservation cavity 111; the second driving unit 6 is used for enabling the sealing cover 3 to cover the liquid filling port 112, and pretightening force is applied to enable the sealing cover 3 and the liquid filling port 112 to be sealed.
When the molten metal is atomized, the molten metal melted in the crucible still keeps a high-temperature molten state after entering the atomizing equipment, if the molten metal is heated from the outside of the heat preservation cavity 111 only through the heat preservation atomizing unit 1, heat can be continuously emitted from the heat preservation cavity 111, and the actual temperature (generally about 1200 ℃) in the heat preservation cavity 111 is lower than the temperature of the molten metal melted in the crucible, at this time, the temperature of the molten metal gradually drops after entering the heat preservation cavity 111, and when the subsequent atomizing process is carried out, when the molten metal flows out to the atomizing port 152 and contacts with the atomizing gas with lower temperature, the coagulated metal blocks are more likely to appear, so that the atomized fine powder yield drops, even the atomizing port 152 is blocked, the atomizing process is interrupted, and the production efficiency is affected. In addition, in order to make the atomization effect of the molten metal better, and obtain higher fine powder receiving rate, the caliber of the atomization opening 152 is generally smaller, and the smaller caliber atomization opening 152 can make the molten metal flowing out in unit time less, so that the impact of the atomization gas on the molten metal is stronger and more uniform, and the atomization effect of the molten metal can be improved. But less molten metal flows out through the smaller-caliber atomizing port 152, and the atomized gas is caused to blow part of the molten metal which flows out back into the atomizing port 152, so that the back spraying phenomenon is caused, the production efficiency is reduced, the cooled molten metal is returned into the atomizing port 152 again, and the agglomeration is caused, so that the atomizing port 152 is blocked, and the production efficiency is further reduced.
The operation method of the metal atomization diversion tundish device provided by the embodiment of the invention is used for atomizing molten metal, so that the problems can be effectively solved, and the production efficiency of atomized molten metal into powder can be improved. The electric heating coil 131 of the heating shell 13 generates heat and transmits the heat to the heat preservation cavity 111 and the guide sleeve 14 in the tundish shell 11 through the graphite sleeve layer 12, and meanwhile, the first driving unit 5 enables the heating unit 2 to extend into the heat preservation cavity 111 of the tundish shell 11, so that the heating unit 2 heats the heat preservation cavity 111, the inside and the outside of the heat preservation cavity 111 can be heated simultaneously, a higher ideal temperature can be achieved, the temperature difference between the heating unit and molten metal is reduced, and the molten metal is prevented from being cooled too quickly. When the temperature in the heat preservation cavity 111 reaches the preset heat preservation temperature, the heating unit 2 is separated from the heat preservation cavity 111 through the first driving unit 5, then molten metal is poured into the heat preservation cavity 111 through the liquid injection port 112, the sealing cover 3 is arranged on the liquid injection port 112 through the second driving unit 6, and pretightening force is applied, so that the sealing cover 3 and the liquid injection port 112 are sealed, the process of entering the molten metal into the heat preservation cavity 111 can be completed rapidly under the driving of mechanical movement, and the molten metal can be further prevented from being cooled too rapidly. After the sealing cover 3 is arranged on the liquid injection port 112 in a sealing manner, inert gas is injected into the pressurizing cavity 31 of the sealing cover 3 through the air injection pipe 43 of the pressurizing unit 4, so that the pressure above the liquid level of the molten metal in the heat preservation cavity 111 is higher than the preset atomization pressure, and the molten metal can be stably sprayed out of the atomization port 152 under the action of the preset atomization pressure, and is not easy to be disturbed by the atomization gas to generate a back spraying phenomenon. When 20% of the molten metal remains in the heat-retaining chamber 111, the second driving unit 6 moves the cover 3 away from the pouring port 112, and the molten metal is replenished into the heat-retaining chamber 111, so that the atomizing port 152 is prevented from being blocked due to the low temperature of the remaining molten metal. After the molten metal is replenished, the second driving unit 6 is used to cover the sealing cover 3 on the liquid injection port 112, and a pretightening force is applied to seal the sealing cover 3 and the liquid injection port 112, so that the atomization process operation is realized.
Specifically, the preset heat preservation temperature and the preset atomization pressure depend on the material of the molten metal liquid to be atomized, for example, when the molten metal liquid is 316L stainless steel, the preset heat preservation temperature is 1520 ℃, the preset atomization pressure is 0.8MPa, and when the molten metal liquid is GH3230 alloy, the preset heat preservation temperature is 1570 ℃ and the preset atomization pressure is 0.9MPa. When molten metal is added into the heat preservation cavity 111, the temperature in the heat preservation cavity 111 can be detected, and if the temperature is lower than the preset heat preservation temperature, the heating unit 2 can be made to enter the heat preservation cavity 111 again through the first driving unit 5 so as to be heated to the preset heat preservation temperature again.
