Zusammenfassung:A method for producing fine water-atomized metal powder that has a high iron-group component content, a high amorphous proportion, a high apparent density, and a high circularity is provided.A method for producing water-atomized metal powder by dividing a molten metal stream, which is falling in a vertical direction, by spraying cooling water that impinges on the molten metal stream includes a step of spraying the cooling water at a spray pressure of 10 MPa or more and a spread angle in a range of 5° to 30° from each of three or more cooling water discharge ports arranged remote from the falling molten metal stream. The droplet diameter of the cooling water: 100 um or less, the convergence angle: 5° to 10°, and the water/molten steel ratio: 50 or more.
