Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of fine elemental spherical metal powder particles for 3D printing, and belongs to the technical field of metal powder preparation. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adopting a high-purity metal block material as a raw material; carrying out arc evaporation under the atmosphere of inert gas, and simultaneously charging hydrogen to control the heat conduction and the activity of gas atoms of the metal, so that the gas atoms are cooled and deposited, and high-purity elemental nanometer metal powder particles are obtained; conducting aggregating granulation on the high-purity elemental nanometer metal powder particles, so that micron-sized elemental metal powder of relatively high density is obtained; and finally, conducting heat treatment on the micron-sized elemental metal powder obtained after granulation, so that functions of degumming and densified consolidation are realized, and the elemental metal powder particles of which the granularity, the sphericity, the liquidity and the oxygen content meet requirements of 3D printing are obtained. Compared with other technical methods, the preparation method has the advantages that the sphericity, the particle size distribution and the oxygen content of metal particles are highly controllable, the process is simple, and the cost is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of fine-particle element spherical metal powder for 3D printing, and belongs to the technical field of metal powder preparation. Background technique [0002] 3D printing technology integrates cutting-edge technologies in many fields such as digital modeling technology, electromechanical control technology, information technology, material science and chemistry, and has been used in product prototypes, mold manufacturing, bioengineering and medicine, jewelry making and other fields. Fine processing technology and greatly improve the efficiency and precision of production. However, the 3D printing process puts forward higher requirements for metal powder materials, such as the particle size range of 20-50 microns, high sphericity and low oxygen content. At present, the fine-grained spherical metal powder required in China basically relies on imports. Due to the bottleneck problem of low raw material utiliza...
