Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The examples, in which specific conditions are not specified, were conducted under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used are not indicated by the manufacturer, and are all conventional products available commercially.
The ball mill, the method for improving the fluidity of the metal powder for 3D printing, and the metal powder for 3D printing according to the embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below.
The embodiment of the invention provides a ball mill which comprises a ball milling tank body, a supporting device, an exhaust device and an air inlet device.
The ball-milling tank body comprises a tank shell and a ball-milling cavity formed by enclosing the tank shell, the supporting device is connected to the tank shell, and the air inlet device and the exhaust device are respectively symmetrically arranged at two opposite ends of the ball-milling tank body and are communicated with the ball-milling cavity.
Above-mentioned ball mill is through setting up air inlet unit and exhaust apparatus, and the gaseous air current effect of accessible improves the collision effect of ball-milling intracavity material, and this ball mill is particularly useful for improving 3D and prints and use metal powder mobility.
Preferably, the ball mill further comprises a filtering device, and the filtering device is arranged at one end of the exhaust device close to the ball milling cavity. Through setting up filter equipment, can avoid metal powder along with gaseous discharge and discharge ball-milling chamber in the lump.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a method for improving the flowability of the metal powder for 3D printing, which comprises the following steps: and ball-milling the metal powder raw material, the grinding balls and the modifier in a ball-milling cavity of a ball mill. In the ball milling process, new inert gas is continuously input into the ball mill through the gas inlet device, and old inert gas is continuously output through the gas outlet device. And screening a metal powder finished product with the granularity of 15-53 mu m after the ball milling is finished.
Continuous aeration can play a role in protecting the metal powder raw material to avoid oxidation and nitridation in the ball milling process, and is favorable for discharging the modifier and gaseous impurities on the surface of the powder.
Preferably, the input rate of the new inert gas is equal to the output rate of the old inert gas. The two rates are equal, so that the air pressure in the ball milling cavity can be kept balanced, the metal powder in the ball milling cavity can collide with each other under a stable condition, and a better surface modification effect is achieved.
Alternatively, the metal powder raw material is alloy powder or elementary powder prepared by vacuum atomization, such as: fe powder, stainless steel powder, Co-based high-temperature alloy powder, Ni-based high-temperature alloy powder, die steel powder, Al-based alloy powder and the like.
Alternatively, the particle size of the metal powder feedstock in embodiments of the present invention may be 5-150 μm. The particle size range is beneficial to improving the treatment efficiency of the metal powder raw material.
By reference, the weight ratio of metal powder feedstock to grinding ball may be 3: 1-1: 5, e.g. 3: 1. 2: 1. 1: 1. 1: 2. 1: 3. 1: 4 and 1: 5. the metal powder raw materials and the grinding balls in the range can be fully ball-milled under the assistance of airflow so as to solve the problem of powder satellite balls and improve the sphericity and the fluidity of powder particles. It is worth to say that the weight ratio of the two is more than 3: after 1, the amount of the metal powder is far beyond that of the grinding balls, and the metal powder cannot be sufficiently ground; the weight ratio of the two is more than 1: after 5, the number of grinding balls is too large, the treatment efficiency is reduced, and the cost is increased.
Preferably, the weight ratio of the modifier to the metal powder raw material may be 1: 1000000-100: 1000000. the modifier modifies the surface of the metal powder through physical collision between the grinding balls and the metal powder, between the metal powder and between the metal powder and the ball grinding tank body and high temperature generated in the collision process, so as to improve the physical state of the surface of the metal powder. The proportion range can achieve better modification effect while the dosage of the modifier is lower.
Alternatively, the inert gas in the embodiment of the present invention may include, for example, nitrogen, argon, or helium. The flow rate of the inert gas may be 2-100L/min. When the air flow is more than 100L/min, fine powder is easy to be carried to block the filtering device during air exhaust, so that product waste is caused; when the air flow is less than 2L/min, impurities are not easy to be discharged, and the product quality is influenced.
Optionally, the ball milling time in the embodiment of the present invention may be, for example, 1 to 20 hours, and the ball milling time is comprehensively set according to the flow rate of the inert gas and the amounts of the metal powder raw material, the milling balls and the modifier, and the ball milling time can effectively solve the problem of the metal powder satellite balls in combination with the present solution, and improve the sphericity and the fluidity of the metal powder particles.
Further, after the ball milling is finished, the screening process comprises a first screening and a second screening, wherein the first screening is to remove the ball-milled metal powder raw materials with the particle size of less than 15 mu m in a grading mode, and the second screening is to select the metal powder raw materials with the particle size of less than 53 mu m from the metal powder raw materials obtained after the first screening. The screening method can effectively improve the screening efficiency of the powder on the premise of ensuring the granularity of the target product, so that the powder has a better screening effect.
The metal powder for 3D printing obtained by the method is spherical or nearly spherical in shape, has excellent fluidity and high apparent density, does not increase oxygen content and impurity content compared with metal powder raw materials, and can meet the requirements of 3D printing on the metal powder.
The features and properties of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to examples.
