Abstract
An atomizer includes a T-shaped chamber with tapered insides and an outlet which is in communication with the chamber. A first path is located in a center area in the chamber so as to introduce molten metal therein and two second paths are introduced into the chamber so as to send inert gas into the chamber. A separator is located in the chamber and located at an outlet end of the first path. A narrow passage is defined between an inside of the outlet and the separator. The impact of the inert gas and the molten metal atomizes the metal.
