Abstract
A nozzle for atomizing molten metal to provide a powder having improved yield of fine particles is disclosed. The nozzle is comprised of a gas plenum, a melt delivery tube, and an annular inner wall means within the gas plenum for delivering atomizing gas to the exit orifice of the melt delivery tube. The exit orifice of the melt delivery tube has a ratio of inside diameter to outside diameter that provides a reduced flow of liquid through the tube during atomization.
