Production Method of 3D Printing Alloy Spherical Nickel Powder

Gas Atomization Method

Principle: High-purity nickel metal is first melted at a high temperature to form a molten metal liquid. Then, high-pressure inert gas (such as argon or nitrogen) is sprayed onto the molten metal liquid at a high speed. The strong impact force of the gas breaks the molten metal liquid into tiny droplets. These droplets cool and solidify rapidly in the gas atmosphere to form spherical nickel powder.

Plasma Atomization Method

Principle: The nickel material is fed into a plasma torch. The high-temperature and high-energy plasma environment melts the nickel material. The molten nickel is then ejected from the plasma torch and atomized in a cooling medium (such as water or gas) to form spherical nickel powder.

Chemical Reduction Method

Principle: Using a reducing agent in a solution, nickel ions are reduced to form nickel atoms. These nickel atoms gradually aggregate and grow to form nickel powder particles. By controlling the reaction conditions, such as the concentration of the reactants, the reaction temperature and the reaction time, spherical nickel powder can be obtained.

5 FAQs of 3D Printing Alloy Spherical Nickel Powder

Q1

Does the component printed with nickel powder have conductivity?

Answer: Yes, nickel powder printed components typically have good conductivity, making them su8itable for applications in the fields of electronics and communication.

 Q2

What is the impact of the particle size of nickel powder on 3D printing?

Answer: The particle size determines the flowability and packing density of nickel powder. Smaller granularity can improve resolution and surface quality during printing, but it may also increase printing difficulty and cost.

 

Q3

What is the impact of the sphericity of nickel powder on printing quality?

Answer: Nickel powder with good sphericity can improve the flowability and packing density during the printing process, reduce the gaps between powders, and thus improve the quality and performance of printed products.

 

Q4

What 3D printing processes are nickel powder suitable for?

Answer: Nickel powder is suitable for powder bed melting (PBF) processes, such as selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM). These processes can construct objects layer by layer through selective laser or electron beam melting.

 

Q5

Do nickel powder printed components require post-treatment?

Answer: Yes, nickel powder printed components usually require post-treatment to eliminate residual stress, improve surface quality, or improve performance. Post-treatment may include heat treatment, grinding, sandblasting, etc.
