3D printing spherical powder and preparation


Spherical powder produced by the company
 
Spherical metal powder is the core material of metal 3D printing, an important link in the 3D printing industry chain, and is closely related to the development of 3D printing technology. The company currently mainly produces spherical composite powders: spherical hafnium carbide, spherical zirconium carbide, spherical titanium carbide, spherical hafnium boride, spherical zirconium boride, spherical titanium boride; spherical metal powders include: spherical zirconium powder, spherical titanium powder , spherical tungsten powder, spherical molybdenum powder, spherical tantalum powder, etc. The spherical powder produced by the company has the characteristics of concentrated particle size distribution, good sphericity, good fluidity, no pipe blocking, and good quality of 3D printing and thermal spraying.
 
Preparation of spherical powder for 3D printing
 
The spheroidization method is mainly to spheroidize the irregular powder produced by the crushing method and the physicochemical method. It is considered to be an effective ZUi process for obtaining high-density spherical powder. The principle is to use a heat source with high temperature and high energy density ( Plasma), the powder particles are rapidly heated and melted, and polycondensed into spherical droplets under the action of their surface tension, which are rapidly cooled after entering the cooling chamber to obtain spherical powder. At present, the preparation process of spheroidization is mainly divided into two types: radio frequency ion spheroidization and laser spheroidization. Since the initial powder will produce a certain agglomeration phenomenon, it will melt as a whole during the spheroidization process, resulting in an increase in the particle size of the prepared spherical metal powder.
