Abstract

The invention discloses a method for manufacturing micro-fine spherical titanium powder, which includes the steps: using sponge titanium as raw materials, mixing the sponge titanium with hydrogen, holding the positive pressure of the hydrogen at 0.05-0.1MPa, preserving heat at the temperature of 650-730 DEG C, and cooling after ensuring the sponge titanium and the hydrogen to sufficiently react; crushing the hydrogenated sponge titanium with an air-stream mill, controlling the revolving speed of the air-stream mill within 1000r / min-1300r / min, and obtaining titanium hydride powder with a grain size smaller than 45 micrometers by means of crushing; and dehydrogenizing and balling the titanium hydride powder by using radio frequency plasma. The method for manufacturing the micro-fine spherical titanium powder has the advantages that the grain size of the powder and grain size distribution can be effectively controlled, and the powder is low in oxygen content, few in production procedure, low in cost, high in balling rate, fine in sphericility and suitable for industrialized popularization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of powder preparation technology, and relates to a method for manufacturing fine spherical titanium powder. Background technique [0002] Titanium and titanium alloys are high-quality structural materials with low density, high specific strength, good heat resistance and corrosion resistance. They are widely used in the fields of automobile, chemical industry, metallurgy, environmental protection, aviation, aerospace and weapons. Powder metallurgy is one of the important means to produce titanium and titanium alloy bulk products and parts, which has the characteristics of fine structure, controllable composition and structure. However, in the titanium powder metallurgy industry, it is very critical to prepare titanium powder with uniform composition, uniform density, few defects, high strength and high sphericity. At the same time, due to the high activity and easy pollution of titanium metal, the difficult...
