A kind of preparation method of alloy balls and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of devices and methods therefor that is used to prepare alloy balls.
Background technology
In field of metal casting technology, by ball blast and bead metal casting being removed processing such as burr, rust cleaning polishing is the surface treatment method of using always.Wherein the ball blast material of consumption maximum is alloy balls and powdered alloy steel, and the intensity and the hardness of alloy balls (powder) are most important to Shot Blasting.The basic principle of preparation alloy balls and powdered alloy steel is to utilize the energy of a definite form and size, smashes the molten steel with cohesive force, and the molten steel after smashing is dropped in the cooling process of setting, leans on the surface tension self-constriction of self to become ball.Preparation method commonly used has two kinds: a kind of is the water flow jet method, by quick injection water the steel alloy fused solution is dispersed into droplet, is shrunk to spherical particle then, simultaneously chilling and quenching; Another kind method is the centrifugal ball method of making, and the steel alloy fused solution falls into the granulation cup of rotation at a high speed by gravity, utilizes centrifugal force that the steel alloy fused solution is thrown away, and is dispersed into fine drop, and cooling is shrunk to ball in the process of flight.
The advantage of water flow jet method is that the steel alloy fused solution is in becoming the ball process, simultaneously by the high-speed water jet chilling and quenching, its structure is oversaturated martensite and a spot of retained austenite, in post processing, generally do not need secondary quenching to handle, only need temper just can reach hardness and quality requirement.The shortcoming of this method is that the particle sphericity is bad, need select circle to product, with the aspherical particle blanking; In addition because the quenching of fused solution cause alloy balls as cast condition crackle easily, so yield rate is low.
The centrifugal advantage of making the ball method is that the alloy balls particle size distribution is narrow, the porosity is low, profile rounding, bonding phenomenon are few; Molten steel goes out ball rate height, and product sphericity height does not need again through selecting the sired results preface to remove special-shaped shot; It is less that the as cast condition seminess appears in alloy balls, therefore compares with the water flow jet method, and the yield rate of this method is much higher.Its shortcoming is because the high speed rotation of centrifuge, the distance that drop is thrown out of is far away, generally needs diameter to surpass 15 meters pond, and the steel alloy fused solution is just fallen in the water drop to lower temperature gradually in the process of flight after, have certain annealing effect, reduced the intensity of product.
