Abstract

The invention discloses a vacuum atomizing device. The vacuum atomizing device comprises a vacuum induction furnace, a tundish, a gas atomizing device, an atomizing cooling tower and a powder collecting system which are sequentially connected. The vacuum atomizing device further comprises a high-pressure gas supplying system; the gas atomizing device comprises a hot metal spraying head which communicates with the tundish, and a gas spraying head which communicates with the high-pressure gas supplying system. The vacuum atomizing device further comprises a salt bath device which is arranged above the gas atomizing device; the salt bath device comprises a salt bath spraying head which communicates with the salt bath device; and the salt bath spraying head is arranged between the hot metal spraying head and the gas spraying head. According to the device, the salt bath spraying head is additionally arranged between the hot metal spraying head and the gas spraying head, so that the powder surface can be subjected to thermal treatment through salt bath when the hot metal solidifies, and as a result, the powder surface solidification speed is decreased, the sphere similarity of the powderparticle surfaces can be improved, and the powder surface quality is improved.
