The technical field is as follows:
the invention belongs to the technical field of production and manufacturing of alloy powder, and particularly relates to a vacuum gas atomization production system for aluminum-based alloy powder.
Background art:
at present, additive manufacturing technologies represented by 3D printing are more and more mature, but the additive manufacturing technologies have higher requirements on raw materials, so that in the case of performing additive manufacturing by using alloy powder, the alloy powder is required to meet the performances of low oxygen content, high sphericity, good fluidity and the like, and the fluidity of the powder directly affects the powder laying effect, the forming process and the quality of an additive manufactured part in the laser additive manufacturing process. The fluidity of the powder is related to the particle size, appearance, apparent density, Hall flow rate and other characteristics of the powder. The higher the sphericity of the powder, the more uniform the particle size distribution, and the smaller the hall flow rate, the better the flowability of the powder. The requirement of powder granularity is related to the additive manufacturing technology, and for the laser additive manufacturing technology based on the powder-laying type powder bed, the powder granularity is preferably in the range of 15-53 mu m. The powder has high oxygen content, the higher the surface activity, the poorer the wettability and the more serious the spheroidization, which results in poor melting effect.
The alloy powder produced by vacuum atomization is popular for additive manufacturing due to the advantages of low oxygen, high sphericity, good fluidity and the like, the additive manufacturing technology is proposed as a national strategy at present, with the continuous development of the additive manufacturing technology, the alloy powder produced by vacuum atomization cannot meet the requirements of additive manufacturing on the sphericity and fluidity of the alloy powder, and the problem of raw materials severely restricts the development of the additive manufacturing technology in China.

At present, most of nitrogen gas adopted by aluminum-based alloy powder production enterprises is produced by a nitrogen making machine, the nitrogen making machine produces nitrogen gas, the nitrogen gas is low in cost, but the purity of the nitrogen gas produced by the nitrogen making machine can only reach 99.99% to the maximum extent, the oxygen content of the aluminum-based alloy powder produced by vacuum atomization of the nitrogen gas with the purity is about 800PPM, the requirement of additive manufacturing cannot be met, in addition, the nitrogen gas is directly discharged after the powder is collected, the nitrogen gas utilization efficiency is low, the production cost of the alloy powder produced by vacuum gas atomization is difficult to reduce, and a large amount of inert protective gas is discharged to the atmosphere and is not beneficial to atmospheric environment protection.
In addition, the existing aluminum-based alloy powder production enterprises adopt the vacuum pump to pump away air in the production system and keep the vacuum of the production system, but the vacuum degree which can be achieved by the vacuum pump is not high, and the requirements of atomization production cannot be met. The produced aluminum-based alloy powder has poor sphericity and fluidity and cannot meet the requirement of additive manufacturing.
