The invention relates to a preparation method of iron-
tantalum alloy powder, the iron-
tantalum alloy powder and application. The preparation method of the iron-
tantalum alloy powder comprises the steps: firstly, an iron material and a tantalum material are prepared according to the target atom proportion and mixed; then a mixture is completely molten at the temperature of 1542-1600 DEG C; and thenatomization is conducted under the action of
inert gas, and the iron-tantalum alloy powder is obtained. According to the preparation method, the
melting temperature of the iron-tantalum mixture is controlled to be 1542-1600 DEG C, the atomization condition is optimized, the purity of the prepared iron-tantalum alloy powder is larger than or equal to 99.95%, the
oxygen content is smaller than or equal to 600 ppm, and the iron-tantalum alloy powder with the particle size smaller than 150 meshes is obtained through screening; and an iron-
cobalt-tantalum alloy
sputtering target material with thehigh purity, high compactness, the high bending strength and the qualified
magnetic flux is prepared advantageously, wherein tantalum rim charge of the tantalum target material is used as the tantalummaterial for preparation, so that waste is turned into wealth.
