Abstract

PURPOSE:To continuously obtain fine metallic powder by simple operation, by dropping molten metal on the surface of a roll rotating at high speed and by relatively moving the roll and a nozzle in the axial direction of the roll. CONSTITUTION:Molten metal 2 in a crusible 1 is fed to the surface of a roll 4 rotating at high speed through a nozzle 3. During the rotation of the roll 4, the crusible 1 is moved at >=0.01mm./sec speed in the axial direction of the roll 4. By the higher peripheral speed of the roll than the dropping speed of the molten metal, negative pressure is applied to the molten metal to cause cavitation. The molten metal is divided into fine droplets by the cavitation, and the droplets are solidified to obtain fine metallic powder.

In the present invention, molten metal is dropped onto the surface of a roll rotating at high speed, and cavitation is generated by applying negative pressure to the molten metal at a circumferential speed of the roll that is significantly faster than the falling speed. Breaks the molten metal into droplets and solidifies the metal into a fine powder.

In order for the above-mentioned roll to be able to adhere and release molten metal on its surface and instantaneously break it up into fine particles and release it, it must be made of a material that has a low wettability to the molten metal, in other words, it is difficult to wet the molten metal. At least the surface layer must be made of a material with low wettability, such as graphite or TAN%
It is preferable to use materials made of materials such as SiN, 840, AIo, etc., or materials having a layer of these materials on the surface.

In addition, the number of rolls may be seven, or it may be two rolls facing each other with a narrow distance between the rolls. In the former case, the molten metal contacts the surface of the rotating metal in the falling direction, and the centrifugal force acts on the molten metal. In order to receive the molten metal effectively and to prevent the molten metal droplets from scattering over a wide area, it is preferable to let the molten metal fall close to the tangential direction of the surface of the fourth layer. It is better to do so. In the latter case, if molten metal is supplied near the gap between the rolls, it will easily become negative pressure between the surfaces of the rolls rotating at high speed while facing each other while passing through the narrow roll gap, causing cavitation. Due to the centrifugal force of both rolls, it is easily and finely divided and released. If the distance between both rolls is 0.3 mm or less, the effect will be great. If the two rolls have the same diameter and the same circumferential speed, they will be discharged in a direction perpendicular to the line connecting the centers of both rolls, which is convenient for containing the metal powder.

When the molten metal is continuously supplied falling onto the surface of the roll, the surface layer is made of graphite or ceramic, which has low heat conductivity and is brittle, as described above, so cavitation occurs. Becomes damaged. To prevent such damage to the roll, the position where the molten metal falls on the roll surface is constantly changed.

That is, the roll and the nozzle are moved relative to each other in the axial direction of the roll while the roll is rotating. If the moving speed is 0.0/mm/sec or more, damage to the roll can be prevented. In this case, the roll may be moved or the nozzle may be moved, but it is advantageous to move the nozzle together with the crucible containing the molten metal because the mechanism for movement can be simplified.
