Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing metallic fine particles by use of at least one arc-discharging section located in a hollow interior cavity of a rotary body. Metallic material is dropped into the rotary body during rotation thereof. The metallic material is melted and driven centrifugally through an outlet where it impinges upon a stationary cooled wall of a surrounding casing. When the melted material strikes the cooled wall, the melted material forms small particles. These small particles are then withdrawn through an outlet in the casing.
