Abstract
Molten metal 23 is streamed as a jet 25 from a nozzle 17 toward a cooling liquid layer 24 formed by the centrifugal force of a rotary drum 1 in rotation. The jet 25 is quenched and solidified to form a metal filament. The front end portion of the metal filament rides on a pickup 13a. The pickup 13a rotates synchronously with the rotary drum 1 and, during this synchronous rotation, it is displaced radially inwardly of the rotary drum. The front end portion of the metal filament is attracted by magnetic force to a magnet roller 19 from the pickup 13a. A following portion of the metal filament are wound and held on the magnet roller 19 in rotation. Subsequently, the magnet roller 19 moves toward a winder located outside the drum 1 to deliver the metal filament to the winder so that the metal filament is wound on the winder directly from the rotating drum.
