Abrégé

An apparatus for efficiently preparing spherical metal powder for 3D printing includes a housing, a crucible and a powder collection area arranged in the housing, wherein a turnplate arranged in the collection area is an inlaid structure. A material having a poor thermal conductivity is selected as the base of the turnplate, and a metal material having a wetting angle less than 90° with respect to droplets is selected and embedded into the base to serve as an atomization plane of the turnplate. An air hole is disposed in the turnplate. The spherical metal powder for 3D printing combines electromagnetic force breaking capillary jet flow and centrifugal atomization, which breaks through the traditional metal split mode, and makes the molten metal in a fibrous splitting.

An apparatus includes a housing, a crucible disposed in the housing, and a collection bin. A turnplate disposed in a powder collection area is of an inlaid structure. A concentric circular groove is provided on the atomization plane. An air hole is provided in the turnplate. The present invention combines the pulsated orifice ejection method and the centrifugal atomization method, in cooperation with the turnplate structure and subjecting the turnplate surface to induction heating, so that a metal liquid is allowed to break through the split mode of traditional molten metal, achieves a fibrous split mode that can be implemented only when an atomizing medium is an aqueous or organic solution, and prepares a high-melting-point metal powder that meets requirements, and has a controllable particle size, high sphericity, no satellite droplets, and good flowability and spreadability, and is suitable for industrial production.
