SPRAYING NOZZLE FOR MANUFACTURING METALLIC POWDER

PURPOSE:To thoroughly prevent the local clogging of a water spraying nozzle and to stably manufacture metallic powder of enhanced quality by attaching a filter to the interior of the nozzle attached to an apparatus for pulverizing a molten metal with highly pressurized water. CONSTITUTION:A molten metal 5 drops from an opening 6 to a spraying tank 3 as a molten metallic flow 8. At this time, a highly pressurized water is sprayed from a nozzle 4 toward the convergent point P. The water is introduced from a pressurized water leading inlet 12 and fed to the nozzle 4 through a filter 16. Foreign matter contained in the water is captured by the filter 16, and the clogging of the nozzle 4 is thoroughly prevented. Thus, metallic powder of superior quality is stably obtd.
