It is known that iron powder is put into an atmosphere at 1-140 []°C, and the iron powder is oxidized and burned, and the heat melts the iron powder and turns it into spheres. However, this method has the disadvantage that the iron powder to be introduced is excessively oxidized, resulting in the formation of a liquefied iron layer around the spheroidized iron powder.

In order to overcome the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, the inventors have discovered a method of injecting crushed or fibrous iron-based powder into a flame together with an inert gas and spheroidizing it in the flame. That is, in the known example, since iron powder is oxidized and burned with butyric, an iron oxide layer is naturally formed around the particles. In contrast, in the method of the present invention, the heat source for melting the iron-based powder is a gaseous fuel such as oxygen, air, propane, or acetylene, so that excessive oxidation of the iron powder is unlikely to occur. Furthermore, in the present invention, since the iron powder is thrown into the flame together with the inert gas, it is possible to roughly prevent the production of iron oxide.

According to this method, a gaseous fuel is used as a heat source for melting the iron-based powder, so an iron oxide layer is not generated due to combustion of the iron powder as in the known example. Moreover, the oxygen-propane or oxygen-acetylene nozzle and the iron-based powder nozzle are independent, and the iron-based powder is ejected together with inert gas from the dedicated NP nozzle, so when the powder is melted, it is oxidized. The phenomenon is even more unlikely to occur. According to the method of the present invention, iron-based powder is melted in a flame, completely spheroidized by surface tension, and iron-based spherical particles are obtained during the cooling process.

次に、本発明法を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。Next, the method of the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for manufacturing an iron-based spherical ladle according to the method of the present invention. On the front side of the burner 1, flame holes 10 and iron-based powder ejection holes] 1 are arranged circumferentially in a sandwich pattern, as shown in numeral 2121. For example, an oxygen-propane flame 2 and #: type powder 3 are ejected from the burner 1. Iron-based powder 3 is stored in a hopper 5, and nitrogen gas 9
Along with this, it enters the bar 3- through the pipe (or hose) 4 and is ejected. - On the other hand, the oxygen 6 and propane (or acetylene) 7 that generate the flame enter the burner l via the gas controller 8, become a mixed gas of oxygen and propane, and are ejected from the flame hole 10 to generate a flame. . The iron-based powder 3 ejected together with the nitrogen gas is melted by the heat of the formed flame 2 and becomes spheroidized by surface tension. After cooling and solidifying, most of the spheroidized iron powder can be obtained by recovering the iron-based powder.

In this process, the iron-based powder is ejected together with nitrogen gas, and it is possible to prevent the iron powder from becoming smelt or, desirably, to increase the combustion ratio of the oxygen-propane fuel (theoretically, the oxygen/propane-5 ), it is important to reduce the vortex resistance as much as possible, or to further increase the oxidation prevention.

[Examples] Example 1 The crushed iron powder used for cutting steel materials was investigated by comparing it with a conventional method, that is, a technique in which iron powder is oxidized and burned with oxygen. In the method of the present invention, oxygen and propane were used as fuel, nitrogen gas was used as a carrier gas for the iron powder, and the supply rate of the iron powder flame was 80 kg/hr. The results are shown in Table 1.

Table 1 Here, the amount of propane and the amount of oxygen for the method of the present invention are as follows: propane 1

Nm″/hr, and the oxygen/propane ratio was 5.4.
I set it to 3. Further, nitrogen as a carrier gas was used at a constant rate of 7 Nm3/hr. 1st
As is clear from the table, in the conventional method, the iron powder itself becomes spheroidized or 30 to 40% iron oxide is generated on its surface. In contrast, in the method of the present invention, the oxygen/propane ratio is
When the ratio is 4.3, only 3-4% iron oxide is generated, and when the ratio is 4.3, no iron oxide is generated at all. This indicates that the method of the present invention is less likely to react with oxygen due to the molten spherical particles, and is clearly different from the conventional method of oxidizing and burning iron powder with oxygen.

Example 2 After degreasing the shavings generated during the polishing process of stainless steel plate,
After pulverizing and increasing fluidity, the same test as in Example 1 was conducted. The test conditions were the same as in Example 1.This time, in addition to Example 1, the test was conducted by covering the entire flame with a nitrogen gas atmosphere. For comparison, a comparison was made with the method of Example 1 in which the flame was not covered with nitrogen gas. Table 2 shows the results.

As is clear from Table 2, the oxidation rate of the stainless steel spherical powder obtained by the test under the nitrogen atmosphere was as low as 1%. From this, it can be seen that covering the flame with a nitrogen atmosphere roughly destroys the spherical powder with less iron oxide.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in Example 1.2, the method of the present invention allows iron powder and stainless steel powder to easily become spheroidized, and moreover, does not cause iron oxide to form, which occurs with the prior art. The occurrence rate is extremely low, and it can be said that the spherical method ☆ child is m. In the method of the present invention, the material powder that can be used is not limited to iron powder or stainless steel powder, but any alloy powder can be used as long as it is an iron-based powder that is oxidized at high temperatures.
