Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for recycling metal powder, belonging to the field of additive manufacturing.
Background
Additive manufacturing techniques, also known as 3D printing techniques. At present, the 3D printing of metal materials mainly adopts a selective laser melting molding (SLM) technology, an electron beam melting molding (EBM) technology and the like. The metal powder for 3D printing needs to have good plasticity and also needs to meet the requirements of fine powder particle size, narrow particle size distribution, high sphericity, good fluidity, high apparent density and the like. Generally, the metal powder is required to be spherical, the particle size is 20-150 mu m, and the apparent density is as large as possible. Therefore, the price of the raw material powder for 3D printing metal is generally high. After the raw material powder is subjected to one-time powder feeding and forming cycle, the properties of the residual powder are changed, such as the roundness, the particle size distribution, the flowability, the repose angle, the apparent density, the tap density and the like of powder particles are obviously changed, the shape of spherical powder particles becomes more and more irregular along with the increase of the cycle number, and the surfaces of the powder particles become rough; meanwhile, the particle size distribution of the powder is enlarged, and the oxygen content of the powder is obviously increased; the apparent density and tap density of the powder are reduced; the powder angle of repose, collapse angle, and plate angle also decreased with increasing cycle number. The performance of the formed part can be seriously affected by performing 3D printing forming again by using the circulating metal powder, for example, the oxygen content of the formed part is increased, the porosity of the formed part is increased, some irregular defects are formed, and finally, the mechanical property of the formed part is reduced to influence the use performance of the formed part. Therefore, in actual production, the powder which is circulated for many times is rarely used for 3D printing, which causes serious waste of raw material metal powder, and the utilization rate of the powder raw material is generally less than 90%. However, there is no effective method for recycling metal powder recovered after 3D printing.

The regeneration method for recovering metal powder by 3D printing comprises the following steps:
firstly, collecting and screening waste metal powder: screening the recovered waste metal powder after 3D printing and forming by using a screening machine to remove large particles, wherein the number of meshes of the screening machine is 100-325 meshes, and the screening time is 30-60 min;
secondly, plasma treatment: conveying the metal powder sieved in the step one into plasma spheroidizing equipment, wherein the powder conveying amount is 0.5-1 kg/h, the power of a plasma generator is 10-50 kW, and the flow rate of argon gas inside the plasma generator is 0.5-2.5 m3Shaping and purifying under the condition that the system pressure is 0.2-0.5 Pa;
thirdly, screening: screening the metal powder treated in the second step by using a screening machine to remove large particles in a vacuum or atmosphere protection environment, wherein the screen mesh number of the screening machine is 100-325 meshes, and the screening time is 30-60 min;
fourthly, annealing: annealing the metal powder treated in the step three in a vacuum annealing furnace, eliminating thermal stress on the surface of the powder, improving the fluidity and finishing the regeneration of the 3D printed and recovered metal powder; and (4) preserving the metal powder after the regeneration is finished in a vacuum or atmosphere protection environment.
According to the invention, the plasma torch is used for shaping the residual waste raw material powder after 3D printing and forming, so that the surface of the metal powder becomes smooth, the sphericity is improved, the particle size distribution is more uniform, the flowability of the powder is further improved, the oxygen content and other non-metal impurities of the metal powder are reduced while the powder is shaped, and the purity is improved. Compared with untreated waste powder, the fluidity of the metal powder treated by the method is improved by 20 percent; the sphericity is improved to over 90 percent from the initial less than 85 percent; meanwhile, the oxygen content of the powder can be reduced to below 980ppm, and the impurity removal rate reaches above 90%, so that the powder can be used for 3D printing forming again, and the utilization rate of raw materials is improved to above 90%. Meanwhile, the method has the advantages of simple process, high efficiency and low cost. The regenerated metal powder has low oxygen content, high sphericity, uniform granularity, few defects and good fluidity, meets the use requirement of 3D printing forming again, can be used in the field of 3D printing, and reduces the metal 3D printing cost.
