The invention provides a preparation method and application of high-purity dense spherical
molybdenum powder and belongs to the technical field of spherical
metal powder material preparation. Conventional reduction
molybdenum powder serves as the
raw material, the particle size range of the granulated
molybdenum powder is controlled actively by adjusting the
granulation process, the molybdenum powder subjected to degumming,
impurity removal and
sintering is further screened, the particle size of the granulated molybdenum powder before
plasma spheroidizing is effectively controlled, and it is beneficial to
granularity control over the final granulated molybdenum powder. The
particle size distribution of the molybdenum powder subjected to
granulation and screening
processing is narrow,
vaporization and the burning loss of the molybdenum powder in the
plasma spheroidizing process can be effectively lowered in cooperation with spherification process parameters, such as the input power, the powder feeding rate and the gas flow, it is beneficial to stability of the production process, and production efficiency and product quality are greatly improved; through introduction of
hydrogen gas into the degumming,
impurity removal and
sintering processes of the molybdenum powder, the
impurity content of the molybdenum powder before spherification is effectively lowered; and meanwhile, screening, spherification, cooling and collection of the molybdenum powder are all operated under the protection
atmosphere of
argon gas, and the
oxygen content of a product is effectively lowered.
