The rapidly solidified powder is a solidification rate for producing powder from a molten metal which is further increased as compared with the conventional general spraying method and is increased to the order of 10 4 to 10 6 ° C / sec. It is a thing. Due to the effect of the rapid solidification, the segregation of alloying elements is prevented, the microstructure of the metal structure is refined / homogenized, the supersaturated solid solution of alloying elements, and the appearance of metastable phases are achieved. By solidifying and molding a rapidly solidified powder with such excellent structural characteristics under an appropriate process, new mechanical properties such as strength, toughness, heat resistance, and wear resistance, as well as physical properties such as electromagnetic properties, can be obtained. It is possible to create a material powder compact.

Among them, the factors related to the rotating disk have a great influence on the spraying behavior of the molten metal ejected from the rotating disk. The molten metal jetted onto the disk moves to the peripheral edge of the disk due to the rotation of the disk, but is cooled by the disk during that time. If the degree of this cooling is large, the molten metal will partially solidify on the disk, forming a solidified layer on the disk. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to install a device for heating the disk in the centrifugal spray device, but it is common that no heating device is installed because the device becomes complicated. . Therefore, as described above, an excessively solidified layer is formed on the disk, and normal spraying cannot be performed. This has been a cause of lowering the weight ratio of the manufactured powder to the starting material, that is, the powder yield.

As described above, the important point in spraying the molten metal in the centrifugal spraying method is to suppress the temperature drop of the molten metal on the disk as much as possible. For that purpose, it is an essential condition that the disk material has small thermal conductivity and heat capacity. It is also very important that the disk and the molten metal have wettability so that the rotation of the disk is transmitted to the jetted molten metal and centrifugal force is applied. Other characteristics required for the rotating disk are that the disk is lightweight, has sufficient heat resistance and thermal shock resistance to withstand the temperature of the molten metal, so that the load on the bearing is reduced in order to rotate at high speed. It has a mechanical strength that can withstand centrifugal tensile fracture and does not cause a chemical reaction with the molten metal.

It is very difficult to satisfy the above-mentioned various characteristics required for the rotating disk with a kind of rotating disk material. Therefore, the maximum yield of powder by the centrifugal atomization method so far was only 50 to 60%. For example, graphite has excellent heat resistance and thermal shock resistance in vacuum or in an inert gas. In addition, the high-density graphite material has the strength to withstand the centrifugal tensile stress generated by the high-speed rotation of the disc, is lighter than other materials, and is excellent in machinability. It has an advantage that it can be easily manufactured. However, the thermal conductivity of graphite is as high as or higher than that of metal, and it has characteristics that it is relatively hard to wet zinc alloy, aluminum alloy, and copper alloy.

Therefore, when a graphite disk having a flat disk surface shape is used for the production of zinc alloy or aluminum alloy powder, the produced powder is often a fibrous foil piece having a large aspect ratio in addition to the granular powder. To be This is because these melts do not have sufficient wettability with graphite, so the rotation of the disk does not transfer to the melt sufficiently, causing slippage of the melt on the disk, and the high thermal conductivity of graphite. , With the molten metal slipping on the graphite disk,
This is because it partially solidified.

In the present invention, a thin metal plate having excellent heat resistance is used as a rotary disc having a flat disc upper surface,
When this is installed on the rotary disk pedestal, a space is provided between the disk and the pedestal, or a substance having a low thermal conductivity such as ceramics is used. A schematic cross-sectional view of the rotating disk in the method of the present invention is shown in FIG. Further, it is characterized in that the molten metal is spouted at a position eccentric from the center of the disk by an arbitrary distance in the radial direction.

The use of a thin metal plate as the rotating disk brings about the following advantages as the rotating disk. That is, the heat conductivity of metals is generally higher than that of non-metal materials, but the heat capacity of metals is reduced by making them thin. Therefore, the temperature of the disk is easily increased by the heat of the molten metal that is ejected, and the temperature rises to the same level as the molten metal temperature in a short time. The wettability between the solid metal and the molten metal under high temperature is very good as compared with the case of the non-metal substrate. Furthermore,
Metal has sufficient thermal shock resistance, and is never destroyed by thermal shock. In addition, the weight of the disk can be reduced by using a thin plate. Since the shape of the disk surface is flat, it is easy to process.

As described above, by using the metal thin plate as the rotary disk, it is possible to satisfy almost all the conditions that the rotary disk should have. Next, the spouting position of the molten metal on the rotating disk, which is another feature of the present invention, will be described. The present invention is characterized in that the position where the molten metal is ejected is not the center of the rotating disk but is a position displaced in the radial direction by an arbitrary distance.

The molten metal jetted onto the rotating disc moves to the outer peripheral portion of the disc upon rotation of the disc, but the molten metal on the disc and the disc is cooled by the surrounding gas for rapid solidification, so that the outer peripheral portion of the disc is cooled. The temperature of the molten metal decreases as it moves to.
If this temperature drop is remarkable, the molten metal partly enters the solid-liquid coexisting state, which causes the viscosity of the molten metal to drop, and even below the solidus line, forming excessive solidified layers one after another on the rotating disk. It will be. When the position of the molten metal spouting is at the center of the rotating disc, even if a thin metal plate is used as the rotating disc and its heat capacity is reduced to make the disc temperature about the same as the temperature of the spouted molten metal, it will still be on the outer periphery of the disc. As the melt temperature decreases, an excessively large solidified layer is irregularly formed on the disk. When the disk has such a shape, stable and normal spraying cannot be obtained any more, and the powder yield is lowered.

In the conventional general centrifugal spraying method up to now, it has been made common sense that the molten metal is spouted at the center of the rotating disk. As a result, a part of the molten metal spouted on the disk is placed on the disk. An excessively large solidified layer is formed on the disk, which may impair the balance of the rotating disk, or cause the excessively grown solidified layer to separate from the disk at a very high speed, causing collisions with the powder manufacturing chamber. , The yield of the powder was decreasing.

Therefore, in the present invention, in order to prevent the formation of an excessively solidified layer on the disk, the spouting position of the molten metal with respect to the rotating disk is decentered not in the disk center but in the radial direction of the disk. . This is because the temperature drop of the molten metal can be suppressed by shortening the distance that the jetted molten metal moves to the peripheral edge of the disk and the time required for it. If the molten metal ejection position is eccentrically in the radial direction instead of the center of the disc, an excessive solidified layer will not be formed on the disc, and the molten metal will be distributed from the periphery of the rotating disc throughout the entire period from the beginning to the end of the molten metal ejection. A stable and normal spray that scatters horizontally can be achieved. This can dramatically improve the powder yield.
