Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The terms "first" and "second" are used below for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise indicated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more. In addition, the use of "based on" or "according to" is intended to be open and inclusive in that a process, step, calculation, or other action "based on" or "according to" one or more of the stated conditions or values may in practice be based on additional conditions or beyond the stated values.
In the process of powder preparation by adopting the existing plasma rotary electrode atomization powder preparation equipment, plasma arcs between a plasma gun and an electrode bar are dense in energy, the shape of the plasma arc is similar to a slender cone shape, the radius of the bottom surface of the cone is smaller than the diameter of the electrode bar, and the energy of the plasma arcs is mainly gathered at the center position of the electrode bar.
At this time, after the plasma arc contacts the front end face of the electrode bar, the plasma arc acts on the edge part of the end face of the electrode bar after being reflected. The electrode bar is separated from the electrode bar under the high-speed rotation of the rotation control shaft due to insufficient melting of the edge part of the electrode bar, so that the size of thrown-out metal liquid drops is larger, and the material diameter of metal powder formed by cooling the metal liquid drops is also larger; the center part of the electrode bar is sufficiently melted and has higher melting speed, and the electrode bar is rapidly separated from the electrode bar under the action of high-speed rotation, so that metal liquid drops with smaller size are formed, and the diameter of metal powder formed by cooling the metal liquid drops is also smaller.
After the powder process of the existing plasma rotary electrode atomization powder process equipment is finished, the phenomenon that the center of the end face of the residual electrode bar is concave obviously and the edge parts are uneven exists in the stub bar of the residual electrode bar, and the phenomenon that the center of the end face of the residual electrode bar after the melting is finished is concave obviously because the melting speed of the center part of the electrode bar is higher. In practical application, the plasma rotary electrode atomization powder manufacturing equipment is convenient for connection of the electrode bar and the rotary control shaft, one end of the electrode bar is arranged to be of a threaded structure, so that the threaded part of the electrode bar is not damaged, and the electrode bar in front of a section of threaded structure needs to be reserved when the electrode bar is replaced. Under the condition that the center of the end face of the electrode bar is obviously concave, the length and the mass of the electrode bar which need to be reserved at the end of powder preparation are longer, so that the utilization rate of the electrode bar is low. In addition, the edge part of the end face of the electrode bar is not sufficiently melted to separate from the electrode bar, and the size of the separated metal liquid drops is large, so that the edge position of the electrode bar is uneven after the powder preparation is finished.
The embodiment of the invention provides a powder preparation method of plasma atomization powder preparation equipment, which aims to solve the problems that the metal powder prepared by the existing powder preparation method of plasma atomization powder preparation by using a rotating electrode has wider material diameter distribution and lower fine particle diameter powder yield and the electrode bar utilization rate is low after the preparation of the existing powder preparation method of the plasma atomization powder preparation by using the rotating electrode.
The invention provides a powder preparation method of plasma atomization powder preparation equipment, which is applied to the plasma atomization powder preparation equipment.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of steps of a powder manufacturing method of a plasma atomization powder manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 2, the powder manufacturing method of the plasma atomization powder manufacturing apparatus provided in this embodiment includes:
and 101, controlling the rotation to control the directional movement of the axial plasma gun, and sending the electrode bar into the atomizing chamber through the feeding hole.
Specifically, the coaxial threads of the electrode bar are fixed on the rotary control shaft, and the rotary control shaft moves towards the feeding hole so as to drive one end of the electrode bar to pass through the feeding hole and enter the atomization chamber.
The electrode bar can be a purchased finished electrode bar or a metal bar blank which is processed on site by a lathe.
And 102, controlling the rotation control shaft to rotate and driving the electrode bar to rotate at a speed of 3000-50000 rpm.
Specifically, when the power source of the rotary control shaft is a motor, the motor is used for controlling the rotary control shaft to drive the electrode bar to rotate at a speed of 3000-50000 rpm.
Step 103, starting the plasma gun to enable a plasma arc to be generated between the tungsten electrode rod coaxially connected with the output end of the plasma gun and the end face of the electrode bar, and simultaneously, introducing inert gas into the plasma arc through a first passage which is communicated and formed in the tungsten electrode rod along the length direction of the tungsten electrode rod to enable the inert gas to form a gas chamber in the plasma arc.
The gas chamber is used for expanding the plasma arc so as to increase the area of a contact fusion part between the plasma arc and the end face of the electrode bar.
Step 104, the molten metal contacting the molten part is thrown out by centrifugal force under the rotation of the rotary control shaft, and metal droplets are formed.
Wherein the metal droplets form spherical metal powder under the action of surface tension.
Further, the inert gas is argon or helium.
Further, the diameter of the electrode bar is 25-80 mm, the length is 90-420 mm, the surface roughness is 1.6, and the circle run-out is less than 2 wires.
The circle runout refers to the difference between the maximum and minimum readings measured by the fixed-position indicator in a given direction when the measured element makes one revolution around the reference axis.
Further, the inlet air pressure of the inert gas entering the first passage is 0.1-0.4 mpa, and the inlet air flow is 3-120L/min.
Specifically, when the arc distance of the plasma arc is fixed and the diameter of the first passage is fixed, the size of the contact melting area between the plasma arc and the end face of the electrode bar to be treated can be adjusted by adjusting the air inlet pressure and/or the air inlet flow of the first passage.
Wherein, the size of the contact melting area is in direct proportion to the air pressure of the air inlet, and the size of the contact melting area is in direct proportion to the air inlet flow; the arc distance is the distance between one end of the tungsten electrode rod, which is close to the electrode rod, and the end face of the electrode rod.
Further, the diameter of the tungsten electrode rod is 14-36 mm, and the diameter of the first passage is 2-8 mm.
Specifically, when the air inlet pressure and the air inlet flow are fixed, the arc distance or the diameter of the first passage is adjusted, so that the contact melting area of the plasma arc and the end surface of the electrode bar can be adjusted.

Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation and replacement of the tungsten electrode rod by a user, the tungsten electrode rod is in threaded connection with the output end of the plasma gun.
Further, the first passage may be arranged along the axis of the tungsten electrode rod or may be arranged eccentrically.
That is, the first passageway is formed by opening a hole in the tungsten rod along its length, the hole being disposed in the tungsten rod generally along the central axis of the tungsten rod.
If the open holes are eccentrically arranged, the position of the introduced inert gas relative to the plasma arc can be changed, so that the arc shape of the plasma arc can be controlled from the root, the middle and the tail of the plasma arc respectively.
Further, the diameters of the first passages may be equal or gradually increased or decreased along the length direction thereof.
That is, the holes provided in the tungsten electrode rod may be through holes of equal diameter or through holes of variable diameter, and the effect of controlling the plasma arc by the inert gas introduced can be adjusted by changing the diameter of the first passage.
Further, the first passage may be a straight passage or a curved passage.
That is, the holes arranged on the tungsten electrode rod are generally straight holes or irregular bent holes, and the control effect of the introduced inert gas on the plasma arc can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the gas outlet end of the holes.

The left diagram is an end face schematic diagram of the electrode bar residual stub bar after the metal powder is prepared by using the existing plasma rotary electrode atomization powder preparation method, and the right diagram is a three-dimensional structure schematic diagram of the electrode bar residual stub bar.
In the prior art, no inert gas is introduced into the plasma arc, that is, a gas chamber for expanding the plasma arc is not formed in the plasma arc. As can be seen from fig. 3, the center of the end face of the remaining stub bar of the electrode bar is obviously concave, and meanwhile, the edge of the end face of the electrode bar is rough, the edges and corners are clear, and the edges and corners are uneven. The concave part can limit the milling distance of the electrode bar, so that the length and the mass of the rest stub bar of the electrode bar are larger.
Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the result of the remaining stub bar of the electrode bar after preparing metal powder by using the pulverizing method of the plasma atomizing pulverizing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. The left diagram is an end face schematic diagram of the residual stub bar of the electrode bar after the metal powder is prepared by using the powder preparation method provided by the embodiment, and the right diagram is a three-dimensional structure schematic diagram of the residual stub bar of the electrode bar.
According to the invention, inert gas is introduced into the plasma arc, a gas cavity is formed in the plasma arc by the inert gas, and the plasma arc is propped up by the gas cavity, so that the contact melting area of the plasma arc and the end face of the electrode bar to be treated is increased, and the energy on the plasma arc is uniformly distributed on the end face of the electrode bar. As shown in fig. 4, the center of the end face of the rest stub bar of the electrode bar is approximately a plane, and the concave is not obvious. The plasma arc is properly spread under the action of a gas chamber formed by inert gas, the contact melting area of the plasma arc and the end face of the electrode bar is increased, and the melting degree of the rest end face edge part and the central part of the end face of the electrode bar is close, so that the central part and the edge part of the end face of the electrode bar are simultaneously separated from the electrode bar under the action of high-speed rotation, and the end face of the electrode bar is close to a plane, and the surface and the edge are smooth and round. Meanwhile, the end face is close to the plane, so that the length of the remaining stub bar of the electrode bar is short, the effective powder making distance of the electrode bar is increased, and the mass of the remaining electrode bar is reduced.
When the powder preparation method of the plasma atomization powder preparation equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention is practically applied, firstly, the rotary control shaft is moved towards the direction of the plasma gun so as to control electrode bars arranged on the rotary control shaft to pass through the feed inlet and enter the atomization chamber; secondly, the rotating control shaft drives the electrode bar to rotate at a speed of 3000-50000 rpm; thirdly, starting the plasma gun to enable a plasma arc to be generated between a tungsten electrode rod at the output end of the plasma gun and the end face of the electrode bar, and simultaneously, introducing inert gas into the plasma arc through a first passage which is formed in the tungsten electrode rod in a communicating way along the length direction of the tungsten electrode rod to enable the inert gas to form a gas chamber in the plasma arc so as to prop up the plasma arc and increase the area of a contact fusion part between the plasma arc and the end face of the electrode bar; finally, the molten metal contacting the molten part is thrown out by centrifugal force under the rotation of the rotary control shaft to form metal liquid drops, and the metal liquid drops form spherical metal powder under the action of the surface tension of the metal liquid drops.
According to the invention, through the mode of introducing inert gas into the plasma arc to prop up an ion arc and increase the area of a contact melting part between the plasma arc and the end face of the electrode bar, the homogenization of the energy density distribution of the plasma arc is realized, after the plasma arc energy received by the end face of the electrode bar is uniform, the melting degree of each position of the end face of the electrode bar is similar, so that each position of the end face of the electrode bar is simultaneously in a fully melted state, after each position of the end face of the electrode bar is simultaneously and fully melted, the electrode bar is simultaneously separated from the electrode bar to be thrown out under the rotation of a rotary control shaft to form metal powder, so that the metal powder with more uniform particle size distribution is obtained, and the yield of fine particle size powder preparation is increased; meanwhile, as plasma arc energy received by each part of the end face of the electrode bar is uniform, after the electrode bar is subjected to powder preparation, the end face of the electrode bar is close to be smooth and has no concave phenomenon, so that the length of the powder preparation is longer, the prepared metal powder is more, the residual stub bar is shorter, and the utilization rate of the electrode bar is effectively improved.
