The invention relates to a device and method for preparing spherical
titanium powder and
titanium alloy powder through gas atomization, which belongs to the field of
powder metallurgy industry. The device comprises a
vacuum chamber, a continuous feeder for
titanium or
titanium alloy wires / rods is arranged outside the
vacuum chamber, a dynamic sealing device is arranged at the top of the
vacuum chamber, a
metal straightening device is arranged inside the vacuum chamber, an atomizing chamber is arranged below the vacuum chamber, a gas atomization
nozzle is installed between the atomizing chamber and the vacuum chamber, the center hole of the
nozzle is internally provided with a wire / rod guiding device, a high-frequency
smelting coil is installed below the
nozzle, wherein the dynamic sealing device, the straightening device, the guiding device and the high-frequency
smelting coil are installed on the same axis; a heat dissipation cover is installed inside the atomizing chamber, a protective cover is arranged at the top of the heat dissipation cover, and the centers of the heat dissipation cover and protective cover and the center of the high-frequency
smelting coil are on the same axis; a powder collecting pot is arranged below the atomizing chamber. By means of controlling the diameters of the wires, the atomizing
gas pressure and the power of a high-frequency power supply, titanium and
titanium alloy powder with different particle sizes and particle size distributions can be obtained.
