Description

Preparation device and preparation method of high-laser-absorptivity metal powder
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of powder material preparation, in particular to a preparation device and a preparation method of high-laser-absorptivity metal powder.
Background
Metal powder, particularly spherical metal powder, is widely used in new manufacturing fields such as 3D printing, injection molding, and the like. 3D printing is one of the most invested specific gravity and the fastest development technologies in the advanced manufacturing industry field due to the characteristics of complex structure forming, rapid preparation, high strength and light weight and high material utilization rate. The requirements of 3D printing on metal powder are mainly high purity, good sphericity, narrow particle size distribution, low oxygen content and good fluidity. With the development of various powder forming technologies, the demand for high-quality and low-cost spherical powder is growing.
However, the existing 3D printing metal powder preparation still has the following defects:
(1) The prior art is suitable for 3D printing, and the metal powder yield is lower, and the grain size distribution range is not adjustable.
In metal 3D printing, powder particle size distribution is a very important parameter. First of all, it relates to powder flowability and compactibility during printing. The reasonable powder particle size distribution has smaller gaps among particles, and is favorable for realizing higher compactness and uniform material deposition, thereby improving the printing quality. Secondly, uneven powder particle size distribution can also lead to increased roughness of the printed surface, as larger particle size particles can form raised or roughened spots on the surface, reducing the surface quality of the printed part. In addition, the compactness of the powder can also affect the mechanical properties of the printing material. In the prior art, the yield of the metal powder suitable for 3D printing is less than 50%, and the distribution range of the powder is regulated and controlled in a mode of sieving and mixing the prepared spherical powder for secondary compounding, so that the risk of increasing the oxygen content of the powder is certainly increased.
(2) The 3D printing old powder is difficult to recycle with low cost
In the process of repeatedly 3D printing, the metal powder is subjected to high-temperature sintering for many times to gradually increase the particle size and the oxygen content, and the metal powder presents the states of slender particles, satellite powder, irregularly-shaped particles and the like, is limited by the raw material requirement and high cost of the existing powder manufacturing technology, and old powder is often sold at low price and is not used for 3D printing.
(3) The laser absorptivity of part of metal powder is low, and the 3D printing forming efficiency is low
The lower laser absorptivity of the metal powder directly leads to laser energy dissipation in the 3D printing process, the temperature of a molten pool is too low, and formed products can have defects of unfused, holes, low density and the like, so that the mechanical, heat conduction and electric conduction properties of formed parts are further affected. The absorptivity of pure copper powder such as 15-53um range to 1064nm wavelength laser is 22%, so that pure copper still has some challenges in the application field of additive manufacturing.
In addition, the existing spherical metal powder preparation method mainly comprises an air atomization method, a plasma rotating electrode atomization method, a plasma fuse wire atomization method and the like, the powder preparation methods have advantages and disadvantages, the powder prepared by the air atomization method is wide in particle size distribution, multi-satellite powder and has air holes, the plasma rotating electrode atomization method is high in cost, alloy elements are easy to volatilize, the plasma fuse wire atomization raw material is a specific wire, and the powder types are limited.
Therefore, how to solve the conventional difficulties and defects of the preparation of the 3D printing metal powder and improve the laser absorptivity of the metal powder, and to obtain a printing product with excellent performance is an important direction of technical development in the field.
Graphene is one of the thinnest and most rigid materials in the world at present, and the specific surface area of the graphene can reach 2630m 2 /g, carrier mobility up to 2X 10 5 cm 2 ·V -1 ·S -1 The thermal conductivity reaches 5000 W.m -1 K -1 . The excellent properties of graphene can be utilized to endow the new material with more excellent properties, such as mechanical properties, conductive heat dissipation properties and the like, through compounding with a metal material. The absorptivity of pure copper powder such as 15-53um range to 1064nm wavelength laser is 22%, so that pure copper still has some challenges in the application field of additive manufacturing. The carbon material modification is a mode for better improving the laser absorptivity, and in consideration of the defect of the existing 3D printing metal powder, the graphene carbon material can be used for coating the metal powder to obtain graphene metal powder, so that the laser absorptivity can be improved, and the carbon material modification is a mode for better improving the laser absorptivity not only corresponding to copper.
However, most of the current methods for preparing graphene composite metal materials on a large scale are physical blending, and the problems of two-phase dispersibility and compatibility cannot be solved in the method, and are limited by the quality of graphene powder raw materials, so that the prepared composite material cannot exert the excellent performance of graphene.
In addition, the spherical graphene metal powder is difficult to continuously produce. The remelting spheroidizing furnace adopts an external heating mode, molten micro-nano metal particles are easy to adhere to the inner wall with higher temperature, so that the particles are accumulated and fall, spherical powder of independent particles cannot be obtained, and the growth of graphene on the surfaces of the particles can be influenced.
