Description

High-temperature heat treatment method for preventing metal alloy fine powder from caking
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for the anti-caking treatment of fine metal powders, in particular during high-temperature heat treatment.
Background
Metal powder is a widely used raw material in the engineering field. The powder required in spraying, laser cladding and 3D printing has the characteristics of small size, large specific surface area, good fluidity and the like, but different application directions have different requirements on the performance of the powder, such as the requirement on particle size distribution, the requirement on sphericity and the requirement on hardness and the like.
In many cases, the powder material needs to be pre-treated before use, depending on the application conditions. If the powder is required to be dried before use, the treatment is relatively simple and only involves temperature and holding time. However, in certain particularly demanding applications, high temperature heat treatment of the metal powder is required to obtain coarser grains or other specific textures and properties, such as a softening annealing treatment. The metal powder generally has a high-temperature agglomeration phenomenon in the high-temperature heat treatment process, namely the high-temperature sintering which is often called. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to find a suitable treatment method to solve the problem of anti-caking of the metal powder during the high temperature heat treatment.
