- JP 2010-150587 Japanese Patent Publication No.7-107167 Japanese Patent No. 3932573 Japanese Patent No. 3461344 Japanese Patent No.4793872 Japanese Patent No. 4784990
- the vapor film covering the molten metal is collapsed by using a steam explosion that is chain-boiled to a nucleate-boiling state, thereby reducing the size of the metal particles. Furthermore, it intends to make it amorphous. It is an effective method to remove the vapor film of the film boiling by using the vapor explosion.
- the boiling curve shown in FIG. 6 is used. As can be seen, at least initially, the surface temperature of the metal particles needs to be cooled to below the MHF (Minimum Heat Flux) point.
- MHF Minimum Heat Flux
- FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the relationship between the cooling capacity and the surface temperature of the material to be cooled, which is called a boiling curve, when the refrigerant is liquid. From FIG. 6, when the surface temperature of the metal particles is high, the cooling to the MHF point temperature is the cooling in the film boiling region. Cooling in the film boiling region is weak cooling because a vapor film is interposed between the surface to be cooled and the cooling water. Therefore, when cooling is started from the MHF point or higher for the purpose of making the metal powder amorphous, there is a problem that the cooling rate for making amorphous becomes insufficient.
- metal powder is manufactured using the gas atomization method.
- the gas atomization method requires a large amount of inert gas for atomization, the manufacturing cost is low. There is a problem of inviting soaring.
- the present invention solves the problems of the prior art and utilizes the water atomization method, which is an inexpensive method for producing metal powder, and can rapidly cool the metal powder, thereby producing an amorphous metal powder.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing water atomized metal powder.
- the molten metal is pulverized using a water atomized metal powder production apparatus as shown in FIG.
- the molten metal 1 flows down from the container such as the tundish 3 as a molten metal flow 8 into the chamber 9 through the molten metal guide nozzle 4.
- the inside of the chamber 9 has an inert gas atmosphere by opening the inert gas valve 11.
- Sprayed water (water jet) 7 is sprayed to the molten metal stream 8 that has flowed down through the nozzle 6 disposed in the nozzle header 5, and the molten metal stream 8 is divided into metal powder 8a.
- the divided molten metal powder 8a is solidified by subsequent cooling with a water jet (cooling water).
- the temperature of the cooling water rises due to melting sensible heat and solidification latent heat. For this reason, the temperature (MHF point) at which the film boiling state changes to the transition boiling state decreases, and the cooling time in the film boiling state becomes longer. Therefore, the cooling rate is lowered, and the cooling rate necessary for bringing the metal powder into an amorphous state cannot be achieved.
- the present inventors first studied diligently about various factors affecting the MHF point in cooling using jet water. As a result, it was found that the influence of the temperature and the injection pressure of the cooling water is large.
- SUS304 steel plate (size: 20 mm thickness x 150 mm width x 150 mm length) was used as the material.
- a thermocouple was inserted into the material from the back side, and the temperature at a position 1 mm (width center, length center) from the surface could be measured.
- the material was placed in an oxygen-free atmosphere heating furnace and heated to 1200 ° C. or higher. The heated material was taken out, and immediately, cooling water was sprayed onto the material from an atomizing cooling nozzle while changing the amount of water and the injection pressure, and the temperature change at a position 1 mm from the surface was measured. From the temperature data obtained, the cooling capacity during cooling was estimated by calculation. A boiling curve was created from the obtained cooling capacity, and the point at which the cooling capacity suddenly increased was judged to be a point where film boiling changed to transition boiling, and the MHF point was determined.
- Fig. 1 shows that when cooling water with a water temperature of 30 ° C used in the normal water atomization method is injected at an injection pressure of 1 MPa, the MHF point is about 700 ° C while cooling water is being injected.
- cooling water having a water temperature of 10 ° C. or less is injected at an injection pressure of 5 MPa or more, it can be seen that the MHF point is 1000 ° C. or more in a state where the cooling water is being injected. That is, by lowering the cooling water temperature (water temperature) to 10 ° C or lower and increasing the injection pressure to 5 MPa or higher, the MHF point rises and the temperature at which film boiling changes to transition boiling is 1000 ° C or higher. It was found that the temperature was high.
- the temperature of the metal powder after atomization of the molten metal has a surface temperature of about 1000 to 1300 ° C., and water jet cooling with a cooling capacity having an MHF point below the surface temperature of such metal powder.
- the film boiling region having a low cooling capacity is cooled at the start of the cooling. From this, if cooling starts with water jet cooling where the MHF point is higher than the surface temperature of the metal powder including the molten state, cooling of the metal powder can be started at least from the transition boiling region, compared to the film boiling region. Cooling is promoted, and the cooling rate of the metal powder can be remarkably increased.
- the temperature of the cooling water (water jet) injected into the molten metal stream rises, and it is possible to achieve the desired rapid cooling required to make the metal powder amorphous. Can not. Accordingly, the present inventors perform secondary cooling on the divided metal powder in addition to cooling (primary cooling) in which the molten metal flow is sprayed on the molten metal flow to divide and cool the molten metal flow. I thought of that.
- the present inventors further added new cooling water to the metal powder containing the molten state divided by the primary cooling, preferably cooling water having an injection pressure of 5 MPa or more and a water temperature of 10 ° C. or less. It has been found that it is effective to apply cooling to supply the water. Furthermore, it is efficient that the secondary cooling is performed from a temperature range where the surface temperature of the metal powder including the molten state is lower than the MHF point of the secondary cooling and higher than the required cooling start temperature for amorphization. I found out.
- the MHF point of the secondary cooling becomes high temperature by storing the metal powder containing the molten state that has been divided and cooled (primary cooling) in the container together with the cooling water, It was found that the cooling capacity was improved. The experimental results that became the basis of this knowledge will be described next.
- SUS304 steel plate (size: 20 mm thickness x 150 mm width x 150 mm length) was used as the material.
- a thermocouple was inserted into the material from the back side, and the temperature at a position 1 mm (width center, length center) from the surface could be measured. Then, the material was placed in an oxygen-free atmosphere heating furnace and heated to 1200 ° C. or higher. The heated material was taken out, and a frame (width 148 mm ⁇ length 148 mm ⁇ height 50 mm) was placed on the material so as to constitute a container in which cooling water was accumulated by the material and the frame.
- cooling water was sprayed from the atomizing cooling nozzle onto the material while changing the water temperature and the spraying pressure, and the temperature change at a position of 1 mm from the surface was measured. From the temperature data obtained, the cooling capacity during cooling was estimated by calculation. A boiling curve was created from the obtained cooling capacity, and the point at which the cooling capacity suddenly increased was judged to be a point where film boiling changed to transition boiling, and the MHF point was determined.
- FIG. 2 also shows the case of no frame in FIG.
- Fig. 2 shows that the MHF point rises by placing a frame on the material (steel plate) and making it into a container shape (with a frame) compared to the case without a frame. From FIG. 2, it was found that this increase in MHF point becomes significant when the water temperature is 30 ° C. or lower. This is presumably because the cooling water was agitated in the container by making the container shape (with a frame), and the water vapor film was easily peeled off by the flow along the surface of the surface to be cooled, thereby improving the cooling ability. It is also considered that the shock wave generated when water collides with the water pool surface in the container at high speed facilitates the transition from film boiling to transition boiling, thereby improving the cooling ability.
- the present inventors have further found that the molten metal or metal powder divided into a powder by the water atomization method is placed on the path along which it falls together with the cooling water. It has been found that if a collision plate is provided as a means for subsequent cooling, the cooling performance is similarly high.
- the present invention has been completed based on such findings and further studies. That is, the gist of the present invention is as follows. (1) In a method for producing a water atomized metal powder in which water is injected into a molten metal stream, the molten metal stream is divided into a metal powder, and the metal powder is cooled, in addition to the cooling, the metal powder Secondary cooling with a cooling capacity having a minimum heat flow rate point (MHF point) higher than the surface temperature of the metal powder is performed, and the secondary cooling is performed such that the temperature of the metal powder after the cooling is the minimum heat in the secondary cooling.

There is also an effect.

Since a general cooling water production machine freezes the heat exchanger and it is difficult to generate cooling water of less than 3-4 ° C, a mechanism for replenishing ice into the tank is provided by the ice production machine. Also good. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the cooling water tank 15 is provided with a high-pressure pump 17 for boosting and sending the cooling water used for the jet water 7 and a pipe 18 for supplying the cooling water from the high-pressure pump to the nozzle header 5.

Therefore, the secondary cooling start position (position B: the position of the secondary cooling nozzle) is such that the surface temperature of the water-atomized metal powder 8a is lower than the MHF point of the secondary cooling and prevents crystallization. It is preferable to set the position to be equal to or higher than the required cooling start temperature.
