Problems solved by technology

Among them, the water atomization method has a large cooling rate and controllable powder particle size, microstructure and shape, but there are many shortcomings: (1) due to the interaction between the molten liquid flow and the water flow, the obtained powder is easy to form oxides, High oxygen content; (2) The shape of the powder is irregular, and it is easy to form ellipsoidal particles
The gas atomization method can prepare powders with high sphericity, but there are the following disadvantages: (1) the powder particle size distribution range is wide, and high-quality amorphous powders with uniform particle sizes cannot be obtained in large quantities; To prevent the high-speed flying droplets from hitting the atomization tank wall before solidification, the vertical arrangement is often adopted, and the tank body is very high; (3) a large amount of inert gas is consumed, and the production cost is high; (4) the continuous preparation time is short, The powder quality is not high enough to meet the requirements of high-quality metal powder materials
However, the problem with this cooling method is that the metal droplets are cooled before they are broken, which is not conducive to the breakage of the droplets into smaller droplets, resulting in a larger particle size of the final powder

Embodiment 1

[0039] In this embodiment, the schematic diagram of the preparation equipment structure of fine metal powder is as follows figure 1 As shown, it includes a melting furnace (not shown in the figure), a crucible 1 , a gas atomization device 3 , a rotary disk 4 and a cooling device 5 .

[0040] The melting furnace communicates with the crucible 1, and the crucible 1 is provided with at least one nozzle 2. After the metal material is melted into a melt in the melting furnace, it is sprayed out by at least one nozzle 2 under a certain pressure. After the melt sprayed out of each nozzle 2 passes through the gas atomization device, the smaller droplets are due to the effect of surface tension. , Condensate and shrink into a spherical powder, relatively large unsolidified or semi-solidified droplets fall down and spray.

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method for fine metal powder and equipment achieving the method. On the one hand, metal materials are fused and atomized into liquid drops to be sprayed to a high-speed rotation disc and smashed into small liquid drops, and the center spraying axis of the liquid drops is perpendicular to the rotation disc face; on the other hand, the liquid drops sprayed to the high-speed rotation disc are cooled after being smashed, and the metal powder is obtained. Compared with the prior art, the metal powder prepared through the method is fine in grain size, good in degree of sphericity and narrow in grain size distribution range and has good application prospects.
