Device and method for preparing superfine micro-spherical titanium powder for 3D printing

The invention relates to a device for preparing superfine micro-spherical titanium powder for 3D printing. The device for preparing the superfine micro-spherical titanium powder for 3D printing comprises an automatic feeding system, an insulation dynamic seal unit, an annular gas atomization nozzle, an atomization chamber, an arc cathode smelting well, a radiating cover, a protection cover, a powder collection tank, a supersonic gas crushing mill and a radio frequency plasma reactor. The invention further relates to a method for preparing the superfine micro-spherical titanium powder for 3D printing. The method comprises the steps that firstly a gas atomization unit is used for performing initial powder production on raw titanium powder; then crushing is used for further reducing the granularity of the titanium powder; a plasma unit is used for further processing the titanium powder; the high-energy characteristic of radio frequency plasma is used for injecting carrying gas for irregular-shaped titanium powder particles into a plasma torch, the irregular titanium powder is heated rapidly and melted, the melted particles form drops with high sphericity degree under the action of surface tension, and the drops are solidified rapidly under an ultra-high temperature gradient to form the superfine micro-spherical titanium powder good in sphericity degree, high in purity and low in oxygen content.
