Abstract
Method and apparatus (20) for obtaining a wire (12) of amorphous metallic loy, characterized by the fact that a jet (7) of molten amorphizable alloy (4) is contacted with a gas (55) capable of reacting chemically with at least one of the components of the alloy (4) before the jet (7) reaches a cooling liquid (9), so as to form a layer around the jet (7) which is capable of stabilizing it. A distance traversed by the jet (7) between the nozzle and the cooling liquid is greater than 1 cm.
