  • a device for producing powders and in particular of metallic powders by atomization comprising means for melting the material to be atomized, an atomization enclosure in which is arranged a dispersion head rotating at high speed for diffusing the molten material in atomized form, means for cooling the atomized material and the head and means for collecting the cooled powder material thus obtained, said melting means comprising at least one vertical inductive plasma furnace producing a gas envelope plasmagens containing the upper face of the dispersion head and said cooling means comprising a first series of members for distributing a cooling fluid disposed in the upper part of the atomization enclosure to create a cold zone at the periphery of the casing and a second series of members for circulating a cooling fluid arranged in the lower part of the enclosure to create a cold zone on the underside of the head, characterized in that said first series of organs for distributing a cooling fluid consists of a ramp of nozzles producing jets of fluid tangential to the surface of said
  • said envelope of plasma gas consists of a cylindrical tube whose vertical axis is parallel to the vertical axis of the rotary head, and preferably the axis of the cylindrical tube is coincident with the 'axis of the head.
  • said vertical inductive plasma furnace is disposed above the upper face of the rotary head.
  • Another object of the invention is a method for manufacturing powders and in particular metallic powders by atomization, comprising the continuous melting of the material to be atomized flowing vertically and coaxially above a dispersing head rotating at great speed. speed intended for dispersing the molten material in atomized form, in a casing of plasma-producing gases by friction on the upper face of the rotary head, then quenching the atomized material and collecting the cooled powder material thus obtained, characterized in that quenching is carried out by passing said atomized material through a cooling vortex situated at the periphery of the envelope of plasma gas.
  • the invention allows the manufacture of ultra pure metallic powders using the above process.
  • the device of the invention can absorb a large flow of heat produced by a plasma torch and onto which the liquid material falls.
  • the atomized material then enters a quenching zone at the periphery of the head formed by a cylindrical tube of plasma gas moving parallel to the vertical axis of the head and enveloped in cold fluid.
  • the powders obtained are recovered in a collection zone comprising at least one chamber containing a neutral gas in the gaseous, liquid or solid state, before their use in formed or shaped products.

  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the atomizing device of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the central part of the device in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 represents the quenching zone with the members for distributing the cooling fluid.
  • Figures 4a and 4b schematically show embodiments of the means for melting and supplying molten metal to the atomization enclosure.
  • the material to be melted and to be atomized is introduced by supply means A into the apparatus, for example in the initial form of a cylindrical bar 1 whose diameter is related to the power of the melting means, notably consisting of a plasma oven B.
  • the material to be atomized is initially in the form of pieces of various sizes, powders, shots or else may be directly brought to the molten state in the device.
  • the bar 1 is placed vertically in the axis of the oven B, the valve V1 then being closed, maintaining the oven B and the enclosure C in a neutral atmosphere. After vacuuming and purging the bar supply chamber several times, valve V1 is open. The bar 1 is then lowered with a hydropneumatic or electromechanical cylinder regulated at the speed which corresponds to the desired flow rate. It is preheated in the preheating furnace 3 by the currents induced with one or more inducing turns 5 at a frequency between 10 and 30 kHz, depending on its diameter.
  • the bar then enters the inductive plasma oven 4.
  • the plasma is ignited by creating an electric arc between the bar brought to high voltage and a retractable mobile electrode 8 located at ground.
  • a retractable mobile electrode 8 located at ground.
  • the vein or the liquid drops of molten materials pass more or less long over the hottest part of the plasma to, on the one hand, reach overheating and , on the other hand, pass through the most reactive area of the oven.
  • a cold cage 7 is used to protect the oven enclosure, and polished to increase the thermal efficiency of the plasma.
  • the bar 1 is thus heated at its periphery by direct induction of the HF fields - skin effect -, and by thermal conduction and convection of the plasma gases. It melts in a cone, point directed downwards, at an angle, the opening of which depends on the nature of the plasma gases. There is thus a casting which is, depending on the power of the furnace and the penetration of the bar into the plasma, continuous or not and perfectly axial. As for the diameter of the liquid stream or of the drops, it depends on the flow of liquid and the opening of the cone.
  • the material to be atomized is first received in fusion in a cold crucible (as in French patent 2,697,050) from which it flows by gravity passing through an electromagnetic and / or composite nozzle before enter the atomization enclosure as shown in Figures 4a and 4b.
  • the electromagnetic and / or composite nozzle constitutes a means of feeding and regulating the flow of molten metal and optionally makes it possible to maintain the metal in the desired thermal state.

  • French Patent No. 87 00 866 (FR-A-2 609 914) already describes a composite nozzle 102 used for controlling a flow of liquid metal operating for example with a coil 102b at 450 kHz.
  • the electromagnetic nozzle 101 comprises a peripheral coil 101b inducing a high frequency field so as to create a constriction of the liquid stream thus causing a variation in the flow of molten material.

  • the shape of the dispersion head 9 is determined according to the optimal thermal mapping and advantageously, it is produced in the form of a cylinder whose dimensions are determined by the nature of the constituent material and the temperature sought on the upper side coming into contact with the molten material depending on the particle size sought for the powders.
  • the upper face of the head is preferably situated in a substantially horizontal plane and is crossed vertically by a heat flux generated by the plasma gases heated by induction by the inductor 6.
  • the plasma zone consists of an envelope of plasma gas in cylindrical tube shape whose vertical axis is parallel, being close to or coincident with the vertical axis of said head 9.
  • the underside of the cylindrical head 9 and the spindle 10 are cooled by axial circulation 11 of a fluid cooling which can be either water for the most important thermal fluxes, or a gas or a liquid gas such as argon or helium for example, in the case where a surface temperature of the head is desired more high.

  • the cooling of the underside of the head 9 creates a temperature gradient in the mass thereof which is included for copper between 60 and 180 ° C / cm and between 200 and 500 ° C / cm for tungsten.
  • the liquid particles pass directly from the plasma zone 12 which envelops the head, to a quench zone 13 consisting of a cooling medium, two-phase or not, forming a vortex around the plasma.
  • FIG. 3 there is a ramp of eighteen nozzles 15 distributing a total flow of liquid argon sufficient to obtain complete cooling of the powders.
  • the nozzle ejection axis X 15 is inclined relative to the plane of the upper face of the head 9 with a jet width determined so as to obtain rapid cooling and a rotation effect of opposite direction (counter-rotating) to that of the head 9 in order to brake the movement of powders.
  • the nozzle ejection orifice 15 is located above the powder ejection triangle.
  • the refrigerant vortex 13 thus formed entrains the liquid and then solid particles in spiral trajectories, thus avoiding, on the one hand, direct impacts with the walls of the enclosure C, on the other hand, gas turbulence towards the top of the device, turbulence which could disturb the plasma and atomization.
  • the nozzles 16 oriented towards the walls of the enclosure, projecting onto them an argon mist which flows along the walls, thus driving the powders down and thus ensuring a tangential washing to the enclosure.

  • the powder obtained is therefore deposited at the bottom of the enclosure C and is recovered in the container 17.
  • the cooling and the collection of the powder are thus carried out using a neutral gas in the gaseous, liquid or solidified state after immersion of the collected powder in the liquid phase.
  • the invention also provides the possibility of combining in the same unit several atomization devices arranged around the energy sources: medium frequency preheating generator (MF) and plasma torch generator (HF).
  • MF medium frequency preheating generator
  • HF plasma torch generator
  • the operation is semi-continuous, in sequence of 2 bars.
