Problems solved by technology

[0004] The traditional water atomization method and gas atomization method are widely used methods for preparing stainless steel powder, but there are great differences in the quality, performance and cost of the prepared stainless steel powder, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects: (1) Water atomization Milling has certain advantages in powder fineness and cost, but the resulting powder is basically irregular in shape, which greatly affects the performance of subsequent stainless steel products and the development of the metal powder injection molding industry
(2) Gas atomization powder has certain advantages in powder oxygen content and powder sphericity, but the overall particle size of the formulated powder is relatively coarse, high cost, and technically difficult, which greatly limits the use of gas atomized stainless steel powder in metal powder injection.

Abstract

The invention relates to a stainless steel powder preparation method for metal powder injection molding, in particular to a method for preparing superfine spherical stainless steel powder by plasma spherifying. Stable argon plasmas are constructed, and plasma parameters are adjusted, so that a water-atomized irregular stainless steel powder raw material is heated, and is separated to obtain the superfine spherical stainless steel powder after being cooled and cured, and compared with the original water-atomized irregular stainless steel powder raw material, spherified stainless steel powder has higher flowability, tap density and purity. According to the method, the problems of poor flowability, low apparent density, low operational performance and the like caused by irregular shapes such as a flake shape, a strip shape and a branch shape in the conventional water-atomized stainless steel powder are solved, the quality of the stainless steel powder and the performance of a stainless steel product are improved, the added value and the market competitiveness of the water-atomized stainless steel powder are improved, and the method is low in cost.
