ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for generating fine liquid metal droplets from a liquid or molten metal comprises a rotatable member situated in a pressurized or evacuated chamber. Means are provided for generating an electric field at the edge of the member having sufficient strength to overcome the surface tension of the metal. A liquid metal delivery means directs liquid metal onto a surface of the member over which the metal flows toward the edge as the member is spun. As the liquid metal leaves the surface at the edge, the force of the electric field causes fine liquid metal droplets which are more uniform and smaller than those produced without an electric field to form. A method for forming fine liquid metal droplets is also disclosed.
