Abstract (en)

Device (1) for atomizing liquid metals complete with a hollow element (3), having a longitudinal symmetry axis, in which liquid metal flows towards an outlet section, and with a symmetrical cylindrical chamber (5,7) enclosing said hollow element (3) and having the same longitudinal symmetry axis, in which the outlet section of the metal of the hollow element (3) is set below outlet sections from the gas atomization chamber (5,7) from which, in turn, the gas flows concentrically in annular conduits (8,10) of the chamber (5,7) thus providing both an energetic breaking action, intersecting the fluid stream in hollow cone form with the vertex of said axis of symmetry pointed towards the outside, and also an effective containing action, being projected parallel to the whole periphery of the fluid stream. <IMAGE>
