Abstract (en)

A method for making metallic glass powder is disclosed, which involves atomizing a jet (54) of molten glass forming metal alloy by impinging with a moving body to form a stream of discrete molten droplets (64) of the metal alloy, followed by impinging that stream (64) on a travelling chill surface (66) to effect rapid solidification of the molten droplets (64). The powder can be fabricated into solid articles.
