Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing water-atomized metal powder and an apparatus for producing water-atomized metal powder.
- the total content of Fe, Ni and Co is 76.0 atomic % or more and 86.0 atomic % or less. It is suitable for producing soft magnetic metal powders with high loading density, high degree of circularity, and high degree of amorphization.
- HV hybrid vehicles
- EV electric vehicles
- FCV fuel cell vehicles
- the low core loss contributes to the low loss and high efficiency of the reactor or motor core. It is also important for For this purpose, it is important that the atomized metal powder has a high degree of amorphization.
- the core loss is often affected by the shape of the atomized metal powder. That is, the core loss tends to decrease as the shape of the atomized metal powder becomes more spherical. Furthermore, there is a close relationship between spheroidization and apparent density, and the higher the apparent density, the more spherical the shape of the metal powder. In recent years, atomized metal powders used as raw materials for reactors and motor cores are required to have an apparent density of 3.5 g/cm 3 or more.
- Patent Document 1 The method shown in Patent Document 1 has been proposed as a means of amorphizing metal powder and controlling the shape by atomization.
- Patent Document 1 a molten metal flow is divided by a gas jet with an injection pressure of 15 to 70 kg/cm 2 , and diffused while being dropped over a distance of 10 mm or more and 200 mm or less, and plunged into a water flow at an incident angle of 30 to 90°. discloses a method of obtaining metal powders.
- an amorphous powder cannot be obtained at an incident angle of less than 30°, and when the incident angle exceeds 90°, powder particles tend to have a low circularity shape such as an oblate ellipsoid.
- Patent Literature 1 discloses a gas atomization method in which a molten metal flow is first divided by gas.
- the flow of molten steel is divided by a water jet injected from a nozzle or the like to make powdered metal (metal powder), and the water jet also cools the metal powder to obtain atomized metal powder.
- the gas atomization method uses an inert gas injected from a nozzle. In the case of the gas atomization method, since the ability to cool molten steel is low, equipment for separately cooling the molten steel after atomization may be provided.
- the water atomization method uses only water to produce metal powder, and thus has a high production capacity and a low cost.
- the metal powder produced by the water atomization method (water-atomized metal powder) has an irregular shape. Since the molten steel solidifies as it is, the apparent density becomes less than 3.5 g/cm 3 .
- the gas atomization method requires the use of a large amount of inert gas and is inferior to the water atomization method in the ability to divide the molten steel during atomization.
- the metal powder produced by the gas atomization method takes a longer time from division to cooling than by the water atomization method. Therefore, since it is cooled after it becomes spherical due to the surface tension of the molten steel before it solidifies after being cut, the shape tends to be closer to a sphere and the apparent density is higher than that of the water-atomized metal powder.
- Patent Document 2 water is sprayed obliquely downward from a spray nozzle in a V-shaped crossing, and molten steel is dropped in the center of the crossing to atomize and sphere the molten steel. disclosed.
- a water atomization method is adopted, water sprayed from a spray nozzle is crossed in a V-shape, and molten steel is dropped toward the intersection to obtain fine metal powder.
- This technique is a good means of obtaining fine metal powder, but since the water is dispersed rather than concentrated at the center point, part of the water does not contribute to the division or cooling of the molten steel at all. Therefore, this method is not suitable for increasing the cooling capacity. Therefore, the metal powder obtained by this method has a problem that it is difficult to make it amorphous.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé de production et un dispositif de production permettant de produire une poudre métallique atomisée à l'eau, moyennant quoi une poudre métallique présentant un certain degré d'amorphisation ainsi qu'une densité apparente et une circularité élevées peut être produite par l'intermédiaire d'un procédé d'atomisation d'eau à productivité élevée et à faible coût. Dans le procédé de production d'une poudre métallique atomisée à l'eau, de l'eau de refroidissement est projetée contre un flux de métal en fusion tombant de telle sorte que le flux de métal en fusion et l'eau de refroidissement entrent en collision, divisant ainsi le flux de métal e en fusion en parties pour former une poudre métallique. L'eau de refroidissement est éjectée vers le bas depuis la périphérie du flux de métal en fusion et en direction du flux de métal en fusion tombant, de façon à se rassembler au niveau d'un point central. Le flux de métal en fusion entre en contact avec l'eau de refroidissement au niveau d'une position distante horizontalement du point central d'une quantité d'excentricité E. Dans la relation entre la quantité d'excentricité E et la distance verticale L depuis une extrémité avant d'une buse d'eau de refroidissement jusqu'au point central, la valeur de E/L est dans la plage allant de 0,05 à 0,20.
