Abstract
A metal in a molten state, which is to be pulverized, is put in a vessel in coexistence with an assistant-powder consisting of a material which has a higher melting point than said metal and is difficult to chemically react with said metal and/or difficult to form a solid solution with said metal. Then, said molten metal and said assistant-powder are mixed thoroughly by stirring. Then, while continuing said stirring, said molten metal and said assistant-powder are slowly cooled until the temperature of the former reaches at least its solidus point to pulverize said metal into a fine powder and to form a composite powder having a structure in which said assistant-powder adheres to said fine powder to cover the entire surface of each particle of said fine powder. And then, said assistant-powder is separated and removed from said composite powder, thereby obtaining a fine powder of said metal.
